Director of Commercial Property Management

Job Description:

ONNI Group is hiring a Director of Commercial Property Management in Vancouver, BC

Join one of the largest privately owned real estate companies in North America.

For over half a century, we’ve been building communities for people to live, work, and play — spanning real estate development and construction, commercial property ownership and management, hospitality, and a growing presence in venture capital and technology. Our expertise reaches across major North American cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix, Toronto, and Vancouver. To date, we’ve developed, built, and now own or manage well over 50 million square feet of residential, office, retail, and industrial space — including more than 15,000 homes and 11,200 rental apartments — with another 28 million square feet underway across our markets. Employing thousands of people across North America, Onni continues to diversify beyond our real estate roots, including through Grey Owl, our technology company delivering managed IT, AI-driven security, and smart building solutions to commercial properties across North America.

In 2009, Onni entered the hospitality space with Level Hotels & Furnished Suites, and our portfolio has since grown to various hotels in Vancouver, Chicago, and Seattle, with plans to add and grow more. We’ve also expanded into dining, with restaurant concepts including Capo & The Spritz and Solette in Vancouver and Chicago, Fora in Chicago’s Fulton Market, and Dialtone, our coffee-by-day, wine-by-night concept.

At Onni, you’ll learn from experienced professionals across every part of our business, take on real responsibility early, and have clear room to grow — whether your path is in commercial real estate, hospitality, or the technology and innovation shaping what comes next.

Perks & Benefits:

Onni operates a full-time, work-from-the-office culture — vibrant, dynamic, and fun, with an open floor plan built on our belief in the strength of in-person interaction and collaboration. Employees also enjoy three days a month of work-from-home flexibility, along with an exciting calendar of employee events throughout the year — including quarterly team-building events, Pemberton trips, summer boating days, sports day, an annual holiday party, watch parties for major sporting events like FIFA and the Olympics, and other seasonal celebrations throughout the year, plus early office closures before statutory holidays and weekends, along with regular office events like food trucks and local favorites, and the following perks and benefits:

• Competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package.

• Generous referral program.
• Fun and collaborative company culture with lots of team-building events.
