Job Description - Property Management & Bookkeeping Administrator





We are a staffing agency recruiting on behalf of a growing family-owned property management and real estate business. Our client manages a portfolio of residential rental properties alongside a real estate business and a construction company, and they are looking for a highly organized Property Management & Bookkeeping Administrator to support the day-to-day operations across all three businesses.


This role is ideal for someone who enjoys backend operations, bookkeeping, and coordinating multiple moving parts. You will play a key role in ensuring tenant communication, leasing administration, financial records, and operational workflows run smoothly.

What We're Looking For



  • A highly organized, operations-focused professional who enjoys creating structure and keeping systems running efficiently

  • A dependable communicator who can confidently manage tenant enquiries and internal administration

  • Someone who enjoys learning new systems and continuously improving processes

  • An individual looking for a long-term opportunity with room to grow alongside an expanding family business


Growth Opportunity


This role will begin with a structured training period alongside the current administrator before transitioning into ownership of the role.
