Regional Manager – Property Management | Hawke’s Bay

Don’t just take the next job. Take the next step in your career.

You’ve built the experience.

You know Property Management.

You know what good looks like.

Now you’re ready for an opportunity where you can use that experience at a broader level.

Tremains Property Management is expanding into Hawke’s Bay, and we’re looking for an experienced Property Management professional who is ready to step beyond simply managing a portfolio and into a role that combines Property Management, leadership, growth, mentoring and wider business support.

This is a rare opportunity for someone in the industry who is ready to make their mark, without having to start from scratch.

You’ll be joining a business with established systems, processes, leadership support and clear operating standards already in place.

What we need is someone who can take that strong foundation, manage and grow a quality portfolio in Hawke’s Bay, support our wider Property Management team and work closely with the General Manager as the business continues to evolve.

Why this role is different

This role is ideal for someone experienced in Property Management and ready for greater responsibility, while still remaining hands-on within the industry.

Role

You may already be leading people, or you may be a highly capable Senior Property Manager who is ready to take the next step. The role combines:

• Hands-on Property Management
• Portfolio growth and business development
• Leadership and mentoring
• Operational support
• Relationship management
• Contribution to wider business improvement

You’ll manage Property Management responsibilities within Hawke’s Bay while also playing an important role in helping grow the portfolio through relationships, referrals, rental appraisals and opportunities generated through our established Tremains Sales businesses.

You’ll also work closely with the General Manager and provide support across our wider Property Management teams, helping maintain consistency, accountability and strong service standards.

Strong foundations already in place

Tremains has been operating for more than 50 years and has established Sales businesses throughout Hawke’s Bay.

Our Property Management and Sales teams work closely together, creating strong referral opportunities and a connected approach to supporting clients.

We’ve also proven our ability to establish successful Property Management businesses in new regions.

Our recently established Wairarapa Property Management business was built using the same systems, processes and leadership support that will underpin our Hawke’s Bay growth.

At the 2026 REINZ Awards, our Wairarapa business was recognised as a finalist for Office of the Year – Small Office.

For a recently established operation, this was a significant achievement and demonstrated what can be accomplished with the right people, systems and support.

We are now looking for someone who can help bring that same level of focus, consistency and momentum into Hawke’s Bay.

What The Role Will Involve

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a Property Management portfolio within Hawke’s Bay during the establishment and growth phase, with the expectation that the portfolio component will reduce as the local team expands
• Supporting the growth of the Tremains Property Management portfolio in the region
• Building strong relationships with landlords, tenants, investors and referral partners
• Working closely with our Sales teams to identify and convert new opportunities
• Completing rental appraisals and supporting new management conversions
• Delivering a high standard of day-to-day Property Management service
• Supporting Property Managers across the wider business
• Coaching, mentoring and providing day-to-day leadership support where required
• Working alongside the General Manager to support team performance and operational consistency
• Assisting with the implementation of established systems, processes and business standards
• Providing input into policies, processes and operational improvements
• Supporting compliance, risk management and service delivery
• Contributing to wider business initiatives and projects
• Travelling between regions where required

We’re a progressive business

Property Management continues to evolve, and we believe our business should too. While our core systems and processes are already established, we want our leaders to contribute.
