Assistant Property Manager

Skills That Drive This Role

This position runs on a specific combination of financial literacy, tenant communication, and operational follow-through. If you're comfortable reading aging reports, catching billing discrepancies, and tracking CAM reconciliations without someone holding your hand, you're already thinking in the right direction. Lincoln Property Company is looking for an Assistant Property Manager to support day-to-day operations across commercial, industrial, or retail assets in Denver.

The financial piece here is real work. You'll review vendor invoices against management agreement terms, help prepare monthly reporting packages for institutional clients, and assist with collecting data for CAM reconciliations and operating expense recovery charges. That means you need to understand how recovery structures translate into tenant billings, and you need to catch errors before they compound. Lincoln manages over 680 million square feet of commercial space nationally, so the reporting standards are serious and client expectations are high.

What You're Actually Doing Day to Day

A typical day might start with reviewing an aging report, flagging a tenant balance that's slipped past 30 days, and coordinating with the Property Manager on next steps. From there, you might walk a vacant suite to confirm it's tour-ready, process a purchase order for a vendor delivering HVAC services, and field a tenant request about a common area issue before noon. The role spans lease administration, vendor coordination, property inspections, and emergency preparedness. None of it is glamorous in isolation, but together it forms the operational backbone of how a well-run commercial asset performs.

You'll also assist with bidding activities, coordinate tenant move-ins and move-outs, and help draft client communications. This is a 100% in-office position, and you will travel between assigned properties as needed.

What Strong Candidates Bring

• 1 to 2 years of experience with commercial office, retail, or industrial properties (preferred)
• Intermediate proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel for financial calculations and reporting
• Comfort with lease administration systems and the ability to learn client-specific platforms
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across a range of audiences, from tenants to institutional clients
• A bachelor's degree (BA/BS) is preferred, though equivalent experience is considered
• Availability for after-hours, weekend, and emergency response situations when the property needs it

What actually separates strong candidates here is the combination of financial attention to detail and genuine follow-through on tenant issues. Lots of people can handle one or the other. The ones who move up at a firm like Lincoln are the ones who close the loop without being asked, whether that's confirming a vendor completed the work or making sure a reconciliation discrepancy got resolved before the monthly report goes out. This role is a clear path toward a Property Manager position on commercial assets, which carries significantly more client-facing responsibility and P&L ownership.
