Join UKO and be at the forefront of Australia’s co-living and Build-to-Rent revolution!

UKO is redefining how people live in some of Melbourne’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. As Australia’s fastest-growing co-living and BTR operator, we offer contemporary, community-focused living designed to make residents feel at home. Our spaces combine high-quality apartments, private amenities, professionally managed services, and community programs that foster connection, convenience, and a sense of belonging.

About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic, customer-focused Leasing Manager / Executive to drive occupancy success at our Melbourne BTR communities.

Manage applications, lease negotiation, and signing

Coordinate move-ins and move-outs while ensuring seamless resident experiences

Conduct market reviews and assist with strategic planning

Maintain accurate CRM/PMS data, prepare reports, and support efficient leasing operations

Foster community connection and promote resident engagement through events and personalised service

Skills & Experience Required:

Current VIC Agents Representative / Class 2 Real Estate Licence

Proven leasing experience in residential, commercial, or retail sectors

Strong financial acumen and results-driven mindset

Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills

Passion for creating premium resident experiences and building communities

What We Offer:

Ongoing training and certifications in real estate and property management

A high-energy, supportive environment in Australia’s fastest-growing co-living and BTR brand

Career progression and professional development opportunities

A fun calendar of team and resident events year-round

Attractive salary and performance-based incentives

Benefits including wellness programs, leave entitlements, and Employee Assistance Programs
