Leasing Manager

Your new company

Hays is partnering with an established, privately owned real estate company with a long-standing presence in Metro Vancouver. The organization owns and manages a diverse portfolio of residential rental communities, along with select retail, office and industrial properties.

• Maintaining organized leasing records, files and internal communications
• Coordinating with vendors, contractors and service providers
• Assisting with office management and general administration
• Supporting the Property Manager and onsite team with operational documentation
• Identifying opportunities to improve the leasing and resident experience
