Assistant Property Manager

Commercial Property Management at Scale

Lincoln Property Company manages more than 720 million square feet of commercial space across the United States and Europe. At that scale, the systems, reporting standards, and client expectations are institutional grade. This Assistant Property Manager role in Irvine sits inside that infrastructure, supporting day-to-day operations across commercial, industrial, or retail assets while building the operational fluency that defines a strong PM career.

The financial side of this role carries real weight. You'll help prepare monthly reports and budget packages, manage operating expense reconciliations (CAM/OpX) in coordination with accounting, and review vendor invoices for compliance with management agreements and authorization limits. Accuracy here isn't a soft skill. A miscalculated CAM rec or a late monthly package affects client relationships and NOI reporting directly.

What the Day-to-Day Looks Like

Lease administration runs through this role consistently. That means setting up new leases in applicable systems, tracking changes, and keeping reporting current. Tenant move-ins and move-outs require coordination with the Property Manager, tenants, and tenant improvement teams, including walk-throughs and documentation. When a tenant has a building issue, you're part of the chain that gets it resolved, working with administrative and technical staff to close problems in line with contractual obligations.

Vendor management and procurement are also part of the mix. You'll support bidding activities and help source service contracts, which means knowing what a scope of work should cover and what a reasonable price looks like for your submarket.

• Bachelor's degree preferred; 1 to 2 years of commercial property management or related experience
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office proficiency; AP and CMMS system experience is a plus
• Comfort with financial terms, percentage calculations, and basic financial analysis
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across tenant, vendor, and client audiences
• Experience across office, retail, or industrial asset types preferred
• Full-time, in-office position in Irvine; no remote or hybrid option
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship

Where This Role Leads

Candidates who move fastest from Assistant PM to Property Manager typically share one trait: they treat the financial reporting side of the role as seriously as the operational side. Understanding how CAM reconciliations flow into client statements, how vendor costs affect NOI, and how lease terms translate into actual cash flow gives you the vocabulary to manage a portfolio independently. Lincoln's platform, with its breadth across asset types and markets, provides genuine exposure to that full picture early in a career.

Compensation for this role is in the $70,000 to $75,000 range, with a benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan with traditional and Roth options, and paid time off.
