Regional Portfolio Manager - Commercial Property, Johannesburg
Profile Personnel · Johannesburg, Gauteng
Overview
A growing commercial property company in Johannesburg is looking for an experienced Portfolio Manager to take charge of a diverse property portfolio across Gauteng.

Important: Please attach a certified copy of your ID and qualification with your application. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you do not hear back within 14 days, consider your application unsuccessful, but your CV will be kept on file for future roles.

Success Guide
This role is a good fit if you already have a few years of solid commercial property experience and you are ready to take charge of a portfolio rather than just support one. When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows the size and type of properties you have managed, and the financial results you have achieved, such as improved NOI or reduced vacancies.
Remember to attach a certified copy of your ID and your qualification, as the ad specifically asks for that. In an interview, be ready to talk through how you handle difficult tenants, negotiate leases, and work with numbers. Highlight any experience with MDA or MRI, as those systems are specifically mentioned.
