đź’Ľ Owner-Side Leadership | High-Visibility Asset Role


This is a leadership seat for property managers who think like asset owners, not just operators.


We’re working with a well-capitalized real estate ownership group seeking a General Manager to take full ownership of a high-profile retail or mixed-use asset.

  • Track performance against business plan and underwriting assumptions
  • Identify and execute ancillary income opportunities (specialty leasing, pop-ups, activations, sponsorships, storage, alternative uses)
  • Support ownership reporting, valuations, and financial analysis
  • Develop and execute the annual business plan aligned with long-term ownership goals
  • Monitor trade-area dynamics, consumer behavior, and competitive trends
  • Partner on redevelopment, repositioning, re-merchandising, or densification initiatives
  • Oversee capital projects with a focus on ROI, longevity, and guest experience
  • Oversee all onsite operations, including maintenance, landscaping, security, housekeeping, and life-safety systems
  • Ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations (ADA, environmental, safety)
  • Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and performance standards
  • Maintain top-tier property presentation that reinforces brand and market relevance
  • Collaborate with leasing teams by providing market insight, operational readiness, and tour support
  • Oversee rent collection, lease compliance, and reporting
  • Build strong tenant partnerships that support retention and long-term success
  • Support specialty leasing and non-traditional tenancy to enhance activation
  • Partner with marketing teams to drive traffic, engagement, and sales performance
  • Support onsite events, activations, and programming
  • Represent the property with local stakeholders, municipalities, and business groups
  • Strengthen the asset’s reputation within the community
  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing onsite team
  • Set clear expectations, KPIs, and accountability standards
  • Support hiring, performance management, and succession planning
  • Foster a culture of professionalism, ownership, and operational excellence


What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience in retail, mixed-use, shopping center, hospitality, or commercial property management
  • Strong financial acumen with hands-on budget and NOI responsibility
  • Proven ability to lead teams and manage complex operations
  • Comfortable interpreting leases and real estate agreements
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, evolving environment
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred

🌟 Ideal for Candidates Who…

  • Think beyond day-to-day operations and focus on long-term value creation
  • Enjoy balancing strategy, financial performance, and tenant experience
  • Want a leadership role with visibility, accountability, and influence
