CENTRE MANAGER (RETAIL PROPERTY) - R 40k pm - OUDTSHOORN AREA, CPT

This is a role for someone who takes ownership. You’re the person who walks a centre and immediately sees what needs to be improved, who builds strong tenant relationships, and who runs operations like a business, not a checklist. If you enjoy being at the centre of everything, this is that role.

What you’ll drive:

Centre Performance & Tenant Experience

You build strong relationships with tenants, stay close to their performance, and ensure the centre operates at a high standard every day.

Operations That Run Properly

You take control of security, cleaning, maintenance, and contractors, ensuring the asset is consistently well maintained and professionally run.

Leasing & Occupancy

You play an active role in leasing, negotiations, and reducing vacancies while strengthening the tenant mix.

Financial Control

You manage budgets, track income and expenses, monitor arrears, and report clearly to landlords with insight, not just numbers.

Marketing That Drives Footfall

You coordinate campaigns and work with marketing partners to keep the centre active, relevant, and commercially effective.

Requirements

Who this suits:
  • You’ve managed a retail or commercial property and understand how centres actually operate

  • Matric and Business Administration qualification or similar preferred

  • You’re comfortable balancing people, operations, and numbers

  • You’re confident engaging tenants, contractors, and landlords

  • You take initiative and don’t wait to be told what to fix

  • You enjoy being on-site and in control of a live environment

  • Clear criminal record

Benefits

Why this role stands out:
  • Full ownership of a live, operational asset

  • Direct impact on tenant performance and centre success

  • Broad exposure across operations, leasing, marketing, and finance
  • A role where strong operators thrive and grow quickly
