Assistant Property Manager

It's 9 a.m. on a Tuesday, and before you've finished your first cup of coffee, a tenant has flagged a HVAC issue, a vendor invoice is sitting in your queue with terms that don't match the management agreement, and the Property Manager needs a CAM reconciliation draft by end of week. This is the rhythm of an Assistant Property Manager role in commercial property management, and it's exactly the kind of environment where strong operational instincts get sharpened fast.

The Work Itself

Lincoln Property Company is hiring an Assistant Property Manager in Denton, TX to support day-to-day operations across commercial, industrial, or retail assets. This is a broad role that touches nearly every function of property operations. You'll support the preparation of monthly reports and budget packages, review vendor invoices for accuracy against contract terms and approval thresholds, and assist in collecting data for CAM reconciliations and operating expense recovery charges. Lease administration is a consistent thread throughout the role: you'll coordinate with accounting on lease setup, lease changes, and reporting across company and client systems.

On the physical operations side, you'll help coordinate tenant move-ins and move-outs, walk spaces, and keep vacant units in tour-ready condition. You'll review tenant billings, monitor aging reports, support collections efforts, and assist with vendor bidding and contract coordination. Regular property inspections are part of the job, and you'll be expected to identify maintenance needs and communicate them clearly. Emergency preparedness planning, including drills and resource coordination, is also part of your scope. This position is 100% in-office and requires availability for after-hours needs, weekends, and emergency situations when the property demands it.

What This Role Requires vs. What It Builds

Lincoln is looking for candidates with a bachelor's degree and one to two years of relevant experience, though a combination of education and hands-on commercial property experience is also considered. Prior exposure to office, retail, or industrial assets is a genuine differentiator here. You'll need intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office, solid written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work through financial documents including percentages, discounts, and reconciliation figures without getting lost in the math.

What this role builds is equally important to understand. Strong candidates who come in with basic financial literacy will leave with a working command of how CAM reconciliations are structured, how vendor contracts translate into real operational decisions, and how client reporting expectations shape the entire management cycle. The organizational habits you develop here, tracking billings, managing competing tenant priorities, coordinating across accounting and lease admin, transfer directly to a Property Manager role. Lincoln operates one of the largest commercial portfolios in the country, which means exposure to institutional-grade reporting standards that carry weight well beyond this position.

• Bachelor's degree preferred; 1 to 2 years of commercial property management experience
• Intermediate Microsoft Office skills required
• Ability to read, interpret, and work through lease documents, invoices, and financial reports
• Strong organizational skills and a genuine interest in developing leadership capabilities
• Ability to travel daily between assigned properties and work outside standard hours when needed
• Must be eligible to work in the United States; all offers contingent on background check

What separates a strong candidate from an average one here is the combination of financial attention to detail and the ability to communicate clearly with tenants, vendors, and internal teams simultaneously. The role demands someone who can hold multiple open threads without dropping any of them.
