Vice President of Operations – Commercial Real Estate
Miami, FL | On-site
A privately held, fast-growing commercial real estate owner-operator is hiring a Vice President of Operations to take full operational ownership of a portfolio of Class A office and mixed-use assets.
This is a senior, landlord-side role for a proven commercial real estate operator — someone who understands how buildings actually perform day to day, how NOI is protected through disciplined operations, and how to scale an operating platform with institutional rigor.
The VP of Operations will work directly with the Founder and senior leadership to professionalize execution, strengthen financial control, and elevate standards across the portfolio.
This is not a development-only role, not acquisitions, not corporate occupier real estate, and not residential or condo property management.
Core ResponsibilitiesCommercial Operations Leadership
- Own day-to-day operations across Class A office and mixed-use assets
- Build, implement, and enforce SOPs, workflows, KPIs, and reporting standards
- Elevate the operating platform to institutional / Fortune-500-level discipline
- Ensure consistency, accountability, and execution quality across all properties
Financial & CAM Oversight
- Full ownership of operating budgets, forecasting, and variance reporting
- Direct responsibility for CAM / NNN structures, reconciliations, and recoveries
- Partner with accounting and leadership to deliver clean, executive-ready reporting
- Protect and grow NOI through disciplined expense management
CapEx, Construction & Tenant Improvements
- Oversee tenant buildouts, renovations, and capital projects
- Manage contracts, scopes, schedules, change orders, and cost controls
- Coordinate architects, engineers, GCs, and third-party project managers
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and operationally sound
Leasing & Tenant Lifecycle Support
- Support leasing from LOI through tenant opening
- Coordinate handover, build-out readiness, and operational integration
Technical & Plan Review
- Review architectural and construction drawings to identify operational risks, inefficiencies, or cost issues
- Provide practical, owner-side guidance to consultants and contractors
Team Leadership
- Lead and develop property management, engineering, and operations teams
- Set hiring standards, performance expectations, and accountability frameworks
- Maintain clarity, morale, and discipline in a founder-led, high-expectation environment
What Success Looks Like
- The Founder is out of the weeds because operations run predictably and at high precision
- Reporting is accurate, proactive, and trusted
- CAMs are tight, defensible, and clean
- Properties operate with Class A consistency and discipline
- Capital projects execute smoothly without surprises
- Teams perform with accountability and pride
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Senior commercial real estate operator (office and mixed-use preferred)
- Proven ownership of CAM, OPEX, budgets, and NOI
- Hands-on experience with tenant improvements, renovations, and CapEx
- Comfortable reviewing plans and managing technical stakeholders
- Experience at institutional owners, REITs, or scaled private operators
- Polished executive presence; calm, decisive, and credible
- Thrives in a fast-moving, founder-driven organization
This role is not suited to:
- Development-only profiles
- Capital markets / acquisitions professionals
- Corporate occupier real estate leaders
- Residential / condo property managers
