Property & Facilities Manager

Job Overview

Property & Facilities Manager
Build the Standard. Lead the Team. Steward the Portfolio.
Location & Travel: Based in Wichita, Kansas.

Role Overview

This is not a traditional facilities management role. Capital III is seeking an experienced Property & Facilities leader to establish and lead a newly created Property & Facilities function responsible for a multi-site portfolio and long-term stewardship strategy.

Why This Opportunity?

• Build Something That Lasts: Help design and implement the operating model, preventive maintenance program, vendor governance framework, and operational standards that will support the organization for years to come.
• Have a Seat at the Leadership Table: Reporting directly to the Chief Integrator and partnering with executive leadership, you will help shape decisions involving facilities strategy, capital investments, asset lifecycle planning, and operational priorities.
• Lead People, Not Just Properties: Directly lead a facilities team while developing bench strength, cross-training capabilities, and a culture of accountability and stewardship.
• Manage a Diverse Portfolio: Oversee a growing portfolio that includes The Trailhead in Wichita and properties in Hutchinson, ensuring consistency, quality, and operational excellence across all locations.

What You'll Own

• Portfolio Stewardship: Steward Capital III’s 28-acre headquarters campus in Wichita, including buildings, grounds, equipment, fleet assets, and supporting infrastructure. Oversee operational performance across three Hutchinson facilities. Ensure all sites are safe, reliable, attractive, and ready to support employees, tenants, guests, and community stakeholders. Lead the portfolio as one integrated operation rather than a collection of independent locations.
• Facilities & Property Leadership: Lead an integrated property and facilities operation across multiple sites. Establish and maintain standards for safety, reliability, presentation, and tenant readiness. Develop systems and processes that create consistency across the portfolio. Serve as the primary operational leader for facilities and property management decisions.
• Team Leadership: Lead, recruit, hire, onboard, and develop the initial Facilities & Maintenance Technicians who will form the foundation of the Property & Facilities function. Establish team structure, operating rhythms, safety standards, and performance expectations. Create cross-training and coverage models across Wichita and Hutchinson to ensure operational continuity and resilience. Develop a culture of accountability, responsiveness, and stewardship that scales with the growth of the portfolio.
• Vendor & Contractor Management: Manage relationships with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, landscaping, janitorial, and specialty service providers. Lead RFP processes, contract negotiations, and vendor selection decisions. Establish vendor scorecards and performance reviews. Drive cost savings through disciplined vendor management and strategic sourcing, including long-term contract structuring and lifecycle cost optimization across building systems and portfolio assets.
• Preventive Maintenance & Operations: Build and oversee a comprehensive preventive maintenance program. Manage building systems, life-safety systems, grounds, fleet, and equipment. Conduct routine site inspections and proactively identify risks. Lead emergency response planning and facility incident management.
• Capital Planning & Budget Ownership: Co-develop and manage operating and capital budgets. Lead capital improvement projects from scope development through completion. Partner with Finance on asset planning, replacement strategies, and lifecycle decisions. Track operational efficiencies and cost-saving initiatives.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Collaborate with executive leaders, tenants, vendors, and community stakeholders. Support tenant experience initiatives and facility readiness. Serve as a trusted operational partner across the organization.
