OFFICE & MARKETING MANAGER
Winnipeg, MB | Part-Time (15 hrs-20 hrs week to start) | $18–$26/hr DOE
Do You Know How to offer great customer service and how to sell an apartment rental?
This role has one job at its core: keep our units full and our clients happy. Everything else supports that. If you're the person who writes the listing that actually gets calls, who answers an inquiry within the hour, who shows a suite and has the applicant wanting to apply - this is your role.
N-Gage Properties manages 60+ residential units across Winnipeg and Manitoba, including long-term rentals, Airbnb suites, and a mobile home park. We operate with documented systems, clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and a genuine commitment to bright, clean, quality, affordable housing.
You won't be doing this alone. We have a Field Operations Coordinator handling inspections, Maintenance Lead for handyman work, and building caretakers handling day-to-day upkeep. You run the office, the marketing, the in person sales and client experience, all while leading the team priorities.
THIS ROLE IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF
✓ You're looking for meaningful part-time work that fits around school hours, parental commitment hours or other commitments
✓ You're a natural communicator - warm on the phone, clear in writing, comfortable with people and assessing character of potential clients
✓ You like organizing chaos into order and you're happiest when nothing falls through the cracks
✓ You can sell without being pushy - you listen first, create rapport and then help people see why this is the right home, or you help them find another that will be perfect for them within our portfolio
✓ You're comfortable making decisions and setting priorities for others rather than waiting to be told what to do
✓ You want to grow - this role has opportunity to expand and grow into more hours and more responsibility
✓ You're comfortable working in a faith-informed environment that supports values of kindness, forgiveness, respect, excellence, fairness and integrity.
THE INTANGIBLES
The technical skills can be learned. These are definitely assets:
✓ You can sell - not pushy, not scripted, but genuinely persuasive. When a prospect walks into a suite, they leave wanting to live there. You know how to listen, connect and close
✓ You communicate with confidence and warmth - in writing, on the phone and in person. People feel well taken care of after every interaction.
✓ You can also be firm when needed and stand your ground explaining the rules, and requirements.
✓ You think like a business owner - you understand that empty units cost money and slow responses cost tenants. You don't need to be told what's at stake
✓ You're financially aware - you notice when rent is short or an invoice looks off, and you figure out what's going on
✓ You know what makes a listing compelling and a photo worth taking. You don't post and pray, you post and follow up
✓ You think about where your ideal client is,
and you make sure you get the ad in front of them
✓ You can direct others in kindness - you're comfortable giving a caretaker a clear list and holding them accountable to it
