Manager, Portfolio Operations (Property Manager)

Allied is looking for a Manager, Portfolio Operations to oversee and manage the performance of a portfolio of urban properties in Toronto.

Portfolio Operations at Allied

Portfolio Operations at Allied integrates asset management and property management into one function, creating owners responsible for both the financial and operational performance of a collection of assets. Portfolio Operations combines strategic and financial overview with site-specific operational insights to create value for all stakeholders.

Allied reimagined the way light industrial buildings could be used and pioneered the Class I asset class. So too, we endeavour to reinvent the asset management and property management functions, creating professional opportunities as distinct as the physical spaces we operate.

As owners, members of the Portfolio Operations team will achieve success through contributing to and delivering upon strategic asset plans and coordinating the activities of an interdisciplinary team supporting the portfolio.

This posting is for an existing vacancy.

At Allied, Portfolio Operations is responsible for:

  • Strategic Asset Planning
  • Portfolio Performance
  • Property Management
  • User Experience
