About the Role
You will own property management performance for LPC's San Diego market, leading teams, managing key client relationships, and directing the financial and operational discipline behind the portfolio.
A representative week might involve:
- Meeting directly with a client to review asset, fund, or company objectives
- Stepping in as the point of escalation on a complex tenant or client issue
- Reviewing a Director's market reporting for compliance with financial policy
- Directing preparation of an annual operating and capital budget
- Tracking CAM/OpEx reconciliations against deadlines with the accounting team
- Overseeing lease administration activity across the portfolio
- Reviewing vendor contract compliance and sourcing decisions
- Conducting a random physical inspection as part of the market's quality control program
- Coaching a Director on staffing, performance management, or succession planning
You will also support the Managing Director in preparing the market's administrative budget and in shaping how property management services are delivered across the region.
