What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Property Manager - High Rise position at Sterling Placements?
We're hiring a Property Manager for a single 10-story, 96,000 SF Class A office building in San Francisco's Financial District. One address — not a portfolio spread across three counties.
The building is in active lease-up with tenant improvement construction underway, so you'll help shape operations and tenant relationships from the ground up. The lighter current tenant roster also means something rare in this industry: a property management job with actual work-life balance. Fewer tenants, fewer fires, fewer 10pm phone calls.
- Serve as the primary on-site contact for tenants: requests, work orders, and follow-through
- Manage day-to-day operations, including maintenance, janitorial, landscaping, and vendor relationships
- Conduct periodic property and tenant space inspections
- Coordinate tenant improvement and capital construction projects with ownership, contractors, and the leasing team while minimizing disruption to existing tenants
- Support lease-up activity: space tours, move-ins, and new tenant onboarding
- Act as point of contact for base building systems (elevators, fire/life-safety, HVAC) and coordinate vendor service and compliance
- Assist with annual budgets, monthly and annual reporting, and repair estimates/bids
- 1 day in Palo Alto office required per week, possible remote days depending on workload
- Experience managing a multitenant commercial office building required; Class A high-rise (10 stories) strongly preferred
- Experience coordinating tenant improvement or capital construction in an occupied building
- Working knowledge of core building systems — elevators, fire/life-safety, HVAC — and vendor management
- Familiarity with San Francisco building codes, permitting, and life-safety requirements a plus
- Strong communication and organizational skills; detail-oriented and sharp with numbers
- Self-motivated, calm under pressure, and comfortable asserting yourself when needed
- Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook
- 10 paid holidays
- PTO starting at 3 weeks
- Possible remote days
- Paid sick days
- 401(k) with 4% match
- Free lunches 3 days per week
- Company outings to sporting events — including Sharks tickets, if hockey's your thing
