Assistant Property Manager

What You'll Actually Do

This role sits at the operational center of commercial property management for Lincoln Property Company in Rock Hill, SC. You'll work alongside the Property Manager to keep a commercial portfolio running cleanly across office, retail, or industrial assets. That means tenant communication, vendor invoice review, lease administration, and monthly financial reporting all fall within your daily scope.

On the financial side, you'll help prepare monthly reports and budget packages to client specifications, and you'll take the lead on collecting data and drafting CAM and operating expense reconciliations in coordination with the accounting team. Getting those OpEx recs right matters: errors surface during audits and erode tenant trust fast. You'll also review vendor invoices for accuracy and compliance with the management agreement before they move toward payment.

Lease administration is a consistent part of the workload. You'll handle lease setup, track changes, and coordinate tenant move-ins and move-outs, including walk-throughs with the Property Manager and tenant improvement teams. When a tenant space turns, you'll be part of documenting the condition and making sure nothing falls through the cracks between the outgoing tenant and any TI work ahead.

Beyond the desk work, expect regular property inspections and travel to assigned sites. Emergency response planning and participation in drills are also part of the job. This is a fully in-office position with no remote option.

What You Bring

• A bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience; 1 to 2 years in commercial property management or a related field
• Comfort with financial concepts: percentages, reconciliations, basic variance analysis
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office skills; familiarity with AP platforms and a CMMS is a plus
• Experience with commercial asset types (office, retail, industrial) gives you a real head start here
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially when coordinating between tenants, vendors, and internal teams
• Strong organizational habits and the ability to deliver on deadlines without constant follow-up
• Current authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship

Context Worth Knowing

Rock Hill sits just south of Charlotte and has seen steady commercial development pressure as businesses look for more affordable footholds in the greater Charlotte metro. That growth means active lease activity and tenant expectations that mirror larger markets, which makes experience with lease administration and OpEx reconciliation especially relevant here.

Lincoln Property Company manages over 680 million square feet of commercial space nationally, which means the systems, reporting standards, and client expectations you'll work within are institutional-grade. For someone early in their commercial PM career, that exposure is genuinely useful. Assistant Property Managers at firms like Lincoln who build strong financial and lease admin skills often move into full Property Manager roles overseeing their own portfolios within a few years. The breadth of asset types Lincoln handles also means lateral moves into different property sectors are realistic as you grow.
