If you've been watching the property sector from the outside and wondering how to break in — or you're a retail leader ready to step off the shop floor and into something bigger — this is the role you've been waiting for.

We're working exclusively with one of Australia's most respected institutional property owners to appoint an Assistant Centre Manager at one of Melbourne's premier enclosed shopping centres, located right in the heart of the northern suburbs . No long commute into the CBD. No compromises on the quality of the opportunity.

This is a genuine hands-on management role, sitting alongside an experienced Centre Manager and playing a key part in the day-to-day operations of a high-performing retail asset. You'll be the kind of person who is energised by a busy environment, thrives on solving problems in real time, and genuinely loves people.

Your responsibilities will span:

• Retailer relationships — being the first point of contact for tenants, supporting lease compliance, and helping retailers perform at their best
• Customer experience — driving centre-wide initiatives that keep shoppers engaged, coming back, and spending
• Operations — coordinating contractors, managing incidents, and ensuring the centre runs smoothly and safely every single day
• Marketing & activations — supporting events and promotions that bring the centre to life
• Financial reporting — assisting with budgets, monthly reporting, and performance tracking

We're genuinely open on background — what matters most is your mindset, your people skills, and your drive. This role is ideal for:

• Property or business graduates ready to launch their career with an institutional-quality employer
• Retail Store Managers or Area Managers looking to transition their operational expertise into a professional property environment
• Customer service or operations professionals from any B2C environment who are commercially switched on and love working with people

If you understand what it takes to deliver an exceptional customer experience, manage competing priorities under pressure, and build productive relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders — we want to hear from you.

• $95,000 package inclusive of superannuation
• 5% performance bonus on top
• Work for a nationally recognised, institutional-grade property owner — a genuine brand to have on your CV
• A role located in Melbourne's north — if you live in the northern suburbs, you're minutes away
• Structured mentorship and genuine career development within a portfolio organisation
• A team culture that takes its work seriously without taking itself too seriously

This one won't be on the market for long. We're screening candidates now and moving quickly to shortlist.
