Penticton, British Columbia
Inspire Property Management is looking for an administrative assistant (unlicensed) who is eager to train for a future role as a junior strata manager (licensed). We plan to select a candidate to start in June 2025.
Unlicensed Candidates:
Successful candidates who are unlicensed at the time of hiring will begin as employees, performing administrative assistant and light reception duties at our Penticton office. They will receive on-the-job training and mentorship from the Managing Broker or an experienced strata manager, offering supervised support to those aiming to become strata managers. Candidates must complete their licensing course and pass the exam within one year of their hire date. Once licensed, and after the one-year experience building period as an administrative assistant, candidates can transition to a junior strata manager role with a small client portfolio or opt to remain as a licensed strata manager assistant or “co-manager,” collaborating with another manager to manage a larger client portfolio.
Job Description:
First Year:
The successful candidate may join Inspire Property Management in June 2025. Initially, they will work part-time, transitioning to full-time after the initial training period (one month), handling administrative assistant and light reception duties from our Penticton office.
After First Year:
Upon obtaining their license, the candidate will be hired as an independent contractor. Training and mentoring will be provided by the Managing Broker. The junior manager will be assigned a small portfolio of clients with whom the candidate will have established relationships as an administrative assistant. As the junior strata manager’s knowledge and experience grow, so will their portfolio. Due to high demand and frequent referrals, this growth can typically occur rapidly.
