About J Street

At J Street, we believe how we operate matters just as much as what we deliver. Our culture is built on five core values:

• Service – We lead with humility and serve first
• Earn It – Trust, opportunity, and growth are earned daily
• Accountability (Own It) – We take responsibility for outcomes
• Truth Over Comfort – We address issues early and honestly
• Stewardship – We treat assets, relationships, and people as if they are our own

These values shape how we hire, promote, lead, and collaborate. You’ll see them come to life in how we show up for our tenants, ownership partners, vendors, and each other—especially in complex, high-trust environments.

The Role

We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Assistant Property Manager to support the daily operations of a large, privately owned Class A commercial office building fully leased to a federal government agency (GSA tenant).

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured, high-accountability environment and brings a proactive, service-minded approach to property operations. You’ll work closely with ownership, a mission-driven federal tenant, and third-party vendors to ensure the property operates at the highest standard while meeting all lease and compliance requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Tenant & Agency Liaison

Building Operations & Vendor Oversight

• Assist with day-to-day building operations, including janitorial, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, landscaping, and access control systems
• Support service contract execution and monitor vendor performance to ensure alignment with Class A standards and GSA lease terms
• Participate in routine inspections, incident response, and after-hours emergency protocols as needed

Financial & Administrative Support

• Assist with budgets, financial reports, accruals, and capital expenditure tracking for ownership review
• Process invoices, utilities, and vendor payables accurately and on time
• Maintain lease abstracts, compliance documentation, certificates, tenant work orders, and building logs

Compliance & Risk Management

• Support compliance with local codes, lease requirements, and applicable government mandates
• Assist with life safety testing, incident reporting, emergency preparedness planning, and inspections
• Support tenant improvement coordination and closeout documentation

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent experience considered
• 2–5 years of experience in commercial real estate, facilities, or property management
• Experience supporting a federal tenant or working in a high-security or government-occupied building is a plus
• Strong interpersonal skills with a client-service mindset and high attention to detail
• Proficiency with property management software (e.g., Yardi, Commercial Café, Elevate) and Microsoft Office
• Must be eligible to pass a federal background check, including fingerprinting, due to tenant requirements

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus eligibility
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off
• Opportunity to grow within a high-performing, professional property management team
• Exposure to complex government lease operations and Class A commercial real estate
