Leasing & Property Manager

Job description:

The Historic Trust is seeking a Leasing & Property Manager to oversee a unique portfolio of historic properties with a mix of commercial and residential tenants.

This role is ideal for a hands-on operator with strong commercial leasing experience who wants ownership over leasing outcomes, portfolio performance, and tenant strategy—while working in a mission-driven environment focused on preservation and community impact.

Key Responsibilities

You will take the lead on managing a portfolio of 200+ tenants (primarily commercial), with responsibility for:

Leasing & Revenue Performance

• Drive occupancy, rental income, and leasing activity across the portfolio
• Lead marketing, negotiation, and execution of commercial leases
• Set and adjust pricing strategies based on market conditions

Tenant Strategy & Relationships

• Actively manage tenant mix to support both financial performance and community goals
• Build strong relationships with commercial tenants and resolve escalated issues
• Support long-term tenant retention and stability

Portfolio Operations

• Oversee rent collections and accounts receivable performance
• Coordinate with Facilities and Preservation team on maintenance and capital needs
• Ensure properties are well-maintained, compliant, and operating efficiently

Team Leadership

• Supervise a Leasing Coordinator who supports routine residential leasing and departmental administrative functions and tenant communication
• Ensure consistent, organized processes for leasing, renewals, and tenant management

What You Bring

• At least 3-5 years of property management or leasing experience
• Strong commercial leasing experience, including negotiation and deal structuring
• Familiarity with residential leasing, even if it is not your dominant experience
• Experience managing occupancy, revenue, and portfolio performance
• Ability to work both strategically and hands-on in a dynamic environment
• Comfort using systems and tools (Yardi, Microsoft 365, etc.) to stay organized and drive results

What Makes This Role Different

• A mixed-use portfolio combining commercial and residential historic properties
• Opportunity to shape tenant mix and leasing strategy, not just fill vacancies
• Work within a nonprofit focused on long-term stewardship and community impact

How Success Is Measured

• Occupancy and vacancy timelines
• Rent collections and accounts receivable performance
• Leasing activity and deal execution
• Tenant retention and satisfaction
• Organization, responsiveness, and follow-through
