Job description

Set the standard in premium living at WeAreLiving Preston and lead with impact, vision & JOY as our Resident Experience Team Member.

Join the next generation of rental living. Help shape a community, not just a building.

Are you ready to take the next step in your property career and be part of Australia’s rapidly growing Build to Rent (BTR) movement? If you’re passionate about creating exceptional resident experiences and contributing to a vibrant, community‑focused environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What is Build-to-Rent (BTR)?

Build to Rent is reshaping Australia’s rental landscape by offering residents long‑term security, flexible leasing, and professionally managed homes within a single‑ownership model. Residents enjoy a premium rental experience – streamlined leasing, on‑site service teams, high‑quality amenities, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Who Are We?

At We Are Living, we’re on a mission to reshape the Build‑to‑Rent experience in Australia, placing generosity and care at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our vision to be the most resident‑centric BTR offering in the country, we build long, meaningful relationships, deliver excellence in every detail, and embrace fresh thinking that makes a positive impact. We create homes where residents can rent with ease and live with joy.

The Opportunity:

Join us as we open our new Preston community in Melbourne’s North. As a Resident Service Team Member, you’ll be the friendly, welcoming presence residents rely on—supporting daily enquiries, assisting with community operations, and helping create a warm, connected living experience. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, delivers exceptional service, and takes pride in making a positive impact in residents’ day‑to‑day lives.

Your Impact

As a Resident Service Team Member, you will:

• Create a warm, supportive, and memorable experience for all residents, visitors, and prospective residents.
• Deliver exceptional service at the front desk—answering enquiries promptly, professionally, and with a friendly "We Care" attitude.
• Assist residents with day‑to‑day needs, tenancy enquiries, wellbeing concerns, and general support throughout their residency.
• Help deliver a seamless Move‑In and Move‑Out process, completing resident inductions, entry, routine and exit condition reports, documentation, and handovers with care and accuracy.
• Ensure accurate and timely management of arrears to ensure all resident accounts are up to date.
• Coordinate maintenance requests in conjunction with the Maintenance Manager and liaise with third parties regarding building facilities management, including maintenance contractors, cleaners, and security personnel, to ensure smooth service delivery.
• Support community engagement by assisting with events and creating inclusive spaces that reflect the diverse backgrounds of our residents.
• Help drive resident satisfaction and retention by building rapport, gathering feedback, and delivering personalised service.
• Uphold compliance with tenancy legislation, privacy requirements, and safety protocols.
• When required, support leasing activities such as managing enquiries, showcasing the benefits of Build to Rent, and assisting with lead conversion, where empathy, professionalism, and cooperation shape every interaction.
