New Permanent Job Opportunity for a Asset Manager in Cape Town, CBD |CA Financial Appointments

Job Description

Do you thrive on turning property portfolios into high-value assets? Our client is a commercial property specialist looking for a sharp, commercially minded finance professional to join them in an Asset Manager role, to take full ownership of portfolio performance and strategic direction

Why join this team?

This isn't a maintenance role it's a value-creation role. You'll take end-to-end responsibility for a portfolio of commercial properties, constantly asking "How can this asset perform better? What am I missing? How do I create more value?" If you enjoy digging into data, spotting opportunities others miss, and making decisions that directly move the needle on returns, this role gives you real ownership

What you will be doing:

• Drive income growth, vacancy reduction and asset value enhancement


• Prepare and manage budgets, forecasts, cash flows and business plans


• Identify opportunities for rental growth, cost savings, redevelopment and value creation


• Evaluate leasing, capital expenditure and investment decisions using robust financial analysis


• Monitor performance metrics, trends and risks across the portfolio


• Work closely with property managers, tenants, brokers and service providers


• Lead strategic asset improvement, refurbishment and redevelopment initiatives

What we are looking for:

• Minimum of five years' experience in a similar asset management role


• CA(SA) candidates preferred, or a minimum of a relevant qualification in finance and/or accounting, or demonstrable equivalent experience


• Exceptional numerical, analytical and financial modelling ability


• Strong attention to detail and ability to interrogate data thoroughly


• Commercially astute with excellent business judgement and decision-making capability


• Intelligent, curious and naturally driven to solve complex problems


• Able to make sound decisions quickly in a dynamic environment


• Strong negotiation, communication and stakeholder management skills


• High levels of accountability, ownership and initiative

What is in it for you:

• Full ownership of a commercial property portfolio's performance and strategy


• Exposure to complex financial modelling and investment decision-making


• A role where your analysis and decisions have direct, visible impact


• Collaborative work with property managers, brokers, tenants and service providers


• Rewarding team environment
