Why This Role Matters
As Compliance Property Manager, you are responsible for protecting our landlords, tenants, and business by ensuring every property remains fully compliant with all statutory and safety requirements. This is one of the most important roles within Albany.
Compliance is not simply an administrative function. It is a critical responsibility that protects lives, safeguards our clients’ investments, and ensures the business operates to the highest professional and legal standards.
You are the owner of compliance across the portfolio. From arranging inspections and certifications to tracking remedial works and maintaining accurate records, you ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
Your objective is simple:
Zero overdue compliance items. Always.
You set the standard in demonstrating our four core values:
Respect – For clients, tenants, and colleagues — always.
Professional – We take pride in doing things properly.
Results Driven – We deliver measurable outcomes that move the needle.
Graft, Grit & Gumption – We get stuck in, keep going, and think smart.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Compliance Property Manager to join our growing team.
You will take ownership of compliance activity across our managed portfolio, ensuring every property remains compliant with current legislation and safety requirements. You will work closely with landlords, tenants, contractors, and Property Managers to coordinate inspections, obtain certificates, monitor remedial works, and maintain accurate compliance records.
This is a role for someone who thrives on organisation, attention to detail, and accountability. You will be trusted to identify risks before they become problems and ensure the highest standards of compliance are maintained across the business.
