Job Description

Are you business-minded and driven by developing properties, creating satisfied customers, and making decisions close to the operations? Do you have broad experience in property management and want a role with significant autonomy, varied tasks, and close collaboration with the Area Manager? Then you might be the person we are looking for.

As a Property Manager at Heimstaden, you will become a central partner to the Area Manager and a key figure in daily management. The role involves significant operational responsibility where you work closely with the portfolio, drive improvements, and ensure our properties are developed with both business and customer experience in focus.

Your Main Responsibilities

As a Property Manager, you are responsible for the operational management of your area. You work close to the properties and have significant personal responsibility to plan, prioritize, and drive issues forward in collaboration with colleagues, contractors, and other functions within Heimstaden.

Your main areas of responsibility include:

Customer Satisfaction and Landlord Responsibilities

• Ensure that we deliver safe, pleasant, and well-maintained homes where it is tidy, clean, and functional both inside and around our properties.
• Be responsible for rounds, service reports, cleaning, on-call management, and maintenance contracts functioning efficiently and maintaining high quality.
• Ensure that we meet landlord responsibilities and create a positive experience for our tenants.

Operational Management and Coordination

• Work closely with the Area Manager and be a central function in daily management.
• Coordinate and follow up with contractors and ensure that work is performed according to agreements and quality requirements.
• Make your own decisions in ongoing management and prioritize measures based on business needs.
• Be present in the portfolio, identify areas for improvement, and drive issues from idea to implementation.

Business-Driven Management

• Contribute to optimizing the economics and long-term value of the properties.
• Identify and implement standard improvements in the portfolio.
• Plan and drive smaller investment and maintenance measures.
• Work actively with budget follow-up and cost control.
• Ensure that costs are billed where appropriate, for example in cases of abnormal wear and tear or other compensable damages.

In this role, you will also conduct inspections of residential and commercial premises.

To succeed in the role, we see that you have:

• Several years of experience in property management within the residential sector.
• Good knowledge of landlord responsibilities and relevant authority requirements.
• Experience in coordinating and following up with contractors.
• A university degree in property, engineering, economics, or equivalent is meritorious.
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
• Valid driver’s license (Category B).

As a person

We are looking for someone who is independent, business-minded, and has strong personal drive. You thrive with significant operational responsibility and enjoy being out in the field where you see what needs to be done and take initiative for improvements.

You work in a structured and meticulous manner while having the ability to make decisions and drive issues forward. You have a natural commitment to both the properties and the customer experience and are motivated by creating results together with colleagues and contractors.

To thrive with us, we believe you are curious, action-oriented, and good at building good collaborations. No day is like the other – you switch between inspections, contractor follow-ups, tenant contacts, and driving improvement projects in the portfolio. Therefore, it is important that you are independent, see the big picture, and have the ability to prioritize and make your own decisions. You work in a business-like manner, have a strong customer focus, and are driven by constantly developing both methods and results.

What can we offer you?

• A key role in Sweden's largest residential company.
• Close collaboration with the Area Manager and engaged, competent colleagues.
• Great freedom under responsibility with the opportunity to influence the development of your area.
• A varied and operational role with significant autonomy.
• Opportunities for some hybrid work.
