About Us Zaleej Real Estate Company (KSCC) is the Kuwait real estate company that manages a diversified portfolio of commercial and residential properties across Kuwait, combining institutional-grade asset management with hands-on operational excellence.

Role Overview The Property Manager owns the day-to-day operations of Zaleej’s Kuwait portfolio of commercial and residential assets — protecting and enhancing asset value, maintaining high occupancy, collecting rent on time, and delivering a seamless tenant experience through accurate YARDI-driven reporting. Success in the first 12 months: measurably improved occupancy, on-time rent collection with minimal arrears, embedded YARDI workflows, and a team operating with clear SOPs and accountability. The role sits within Property Management and works closely with leasing, finance, and facilities.

Key Responsibilities •       Oversee the full property management cycle for a portfolio of commercial and residential assets in Kuwait, ensuring occupancy targets, rent collection, and service quality benchmarks are consistently met. •       Own the end-to-end rent collection cycle: invoice on schedule, monitor receipts daily in YARDI, follow up directly with tenants on due and overdue rent, and escalate arrears promptly — ensuring rent is collected in full and on time with no delays. •       Lead, supervise, and develop regional property administrators; establish clear performance standards and serve as operational backup when required. •       Design and implement standardized property management processes and SOPs to improve efficiency, with a focus on embedding and optimizing the YARDI system across all workflows. •       Manage the end-to-end leasing cycle — including tenant sourcing, lease negotiation, renewals, and statutory compliance checks — to minimize void periods. •       Develop and execute marketing plans for vacant properties — listings, photography, digital channels, signage, and broker networks — to accelerate lease-up and minimize voids. •       Monitor all vendor and service contracts for compliance, cost control, and performance; coordinate planned and reactive maintenance within approved budgets and SLAs. •       Prepare and present accurate monthly portfolio performance reports covering occupancy, rental income, arrears, maintenance expenditure, and market trends. •       Analyze market conditions and competitor activity in the Kuwait real estate market; recommend pricing adjustments, capital improvements, or repositioning strategies. •       Act as the primary liaison between tenants and management for property-related issues, ensuring prompt resolution and high tenant satisfaction and retention. •       Secure management approvals on capital and operational expenditure, maintaining full audit trails. •       Respond to after-hours property emergencies, coordinating contractors and stakeholder communications.
