Head of Asset Management
Property & Housing | Sydney CBD Permanent full-time position
Applications close Sunday 16th August 2026. We encourage early applications, as interviews may commence before the closing date.
Build the future of asset management at one of Australia's largest not-for-profit organisations.
Some roles maintain assets.
This one transforms how an entire organisation manages them.
Uniting is embarking on a significant evolution of its Property & Housing function, moving from a traditional maintenance-focused model to a strategic, intelligence-led approach to asset management. We're looking for an experienced Head of Asset Management to lead that transformation.
Reporting to the Director Property & Housing, you'll shape the long-term strategy for a substantial and diverse property portfolio that supports thousands of people across NSW and the ACT. You'll influence how investment decisions are made, how assets perform throughout their lifecycle, and how data, sustainability, and customer outcomes drive every major decision.
This is an outstanding opportunity to build a modern, best-practice asset management function that will have lasting impact across one of Australia's most respected purpose-led organisations.
The opportunity
As Head of Asset Management, you'll provide strategic leadership across the entire asset lifecycle, ensuring our property portfolio continues to deliver safe, sustainable, and high-performing environments for the people we support.
A key priority will be leading the transition to a fully outsourced maintenance operating model while building an asset management function centred on long-term planning, asset intelligence, governance, and evidence-based investment.
Working closely with Executive leaders, Capital Works, Finance, and external partners, you'll ensure our assets continue to deliver value for our residents, clients, employees, and communities.
You'll lead
• Development of Uniting's strategic asset management framework
• Portfolio optimisation and long-term investment planning
• Lifecycle planning, renewal, and capital replacement strategies
• Asset performance reporting and executive dashboards
• Asset information, analytics, and data quality improvements
• Governance, compliance, and asset risk management
• Strategic oversight of outsourced maintenance services
• A high-performing team focused on continuous improvement and innovation
About you
You'll be a strategic leader who combines commercial thinking with a genuine passion for improving places that matter to people.
You'll bring:
• Extensive senior leadership experience managing large and complex property portfolios
• Strong expertise in strategic asset management and lifecycle planning
• Proven success developing long-term capital investment strategies
• Experience leading organisational transformation and operating model change
• Significant experience overseeing outsourced maintenance or facilities management contracts
• Strong commercial, financial, and analytical capability
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, with experience influencing Executive and Board-level decision making
• Tertiary qualifications in Asset Management, Engineering, Property, Construction, Building or a related discipline
Why Uniting?
Every asset we invest in supports something bigger.
Whether it's an aged care home, retirement village, community service, disability support location or social housing property, your work will directly improve the lives of thousands of people.
Join more than 12,000+ employees working together to inspire people, enliven communities, and confront injustice.
In return, you’ll enjoy:
• A competitive executive salary package aligned to the seniority and impact of the role.
• Access to outstanding not-for-profit salary packaging, helping you pay less tax and take home more of your income. Better still, your full annual benefit is available from 1 April 2026, allowing you to maximise your tax savings from the start of the FBT year.
• Flexible hybrid working.
• Fitness Passport, providing discounted access to hundreds of gyms, pools, and fitness facilities across Australia to help you live your best life.
• Additional paid leave options, including the opportunity to purchase extra annual leave.
• Exclusive employee discounts through our U Rewards program.
• Genuine opportunities to broaden your leadership experience and strategic communication skills.
• The chance to do meaningful work every day for an organisation committed to inspiring people, enlivening communities, and confronting injustice.
• A collaborative executive leadership team
• The opportunity to shape the future of one of Australia's largest and most diverse property portfolios
