Trainee Strata Manager

Ready to build a career in strata, with support from day one?

Build a career in strata with structured training

Learn alongside experienced Strata Managers

Clear career path to managing your own portfolio

As one of Australia’s largest strata management companies, we provide competitive remuneration and stability in a growing industry.

The impact you’ll have:

Strata communities rely on clear, confident guidance to stay compliant, financially healthy, and well-managed. In this role, you’ll contribute to that outcome while building deep capability in strata management.

Working alongside experienced Strata Managers, you’ll learn how committees make decisions, how legislation is applied in real situations, and how complex buildings are managed day to day. Your work will help owners feel supported and informed, while you develop the confidence and judgment required to manage a portfolio independently over time.

What you’ll do:

This is a hands-on learning role, designed to develop you into a confident Strata Manager with the right foundations.

Support the management of a structured strata portfolio, taking increasing ownership as your capability grows.

Assist with the preparation and delivery of AGMs, EGMs, and committee meetings, including agendas, minutes, and follow-up actions.

Apply strata legislation and governance principles with guidance, building judgment through real scenarios.

Coordinate maintenance requests and operational tasks, ensuring issues are tracked and resolved.

Work closely with Strata Managers, Assistant Strata Managers, and internal teams to deliver consistent, professional service.

Maintain accurate records, notes, and system updates to support compliance and efficient workflows.

What you’ll bring:

Experience in property, facilities, compliance, governance, customer service, or other regulated environment (strata experience not required).

An ability to interpret rules, policies, or legislation and apply them thoughtfully

Clear, professional communication skills, particularly in complex or sensitive situations

Strong organisation and follow-through in a busy environment

Confidence working with numbers, budgets, or financial information

Comfort using systems, documenting decisions, and maintaining accurate records.

Direct strata management experience is helpful but not essential. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly, think clearly, and take ownership as the scope of your portfolio grows.
