Operations Manager (Commercial Real Estate) | AU/Remote

August 11, 2026

The snapshot Staffstream is hiring an Operations Manager for a leading global commercial real estate agency operating across commercial sales, leasing, and property management in the Inner-Sydney market. The team is small: four agents, a creative designer, and an in-house analyst, working at a high pace across multiple live campaigns, listings, and client relationships at any given time. This role is the operational anchor of the team: managing CRM data, running marketing campaigns, coordinating listings across portals, and preparing agreements and documentation, so the agents can stay focused on winning and closing deals. A structured handover from the outgoing team member (who's moving into another role within the wider business) means a genuine training pathway into the team's systems and preferences from day one. This role is open to candidates based in the Philippines.
