Description

The Real Estate Assets department owns and manages a portfolio of nearly 500 Publix-anchored properties. The department manages the portfolio in-house including Property Management, Lease Administration, Leasing, Acquisitions, and Asset Management teams. Within the department, the Regional Property Manager (RPM) manages properties in Publix’s company-controlled real estate portfolio. Ideal candidates are analytical, have strong knowledge of property management processes and principles and can multi-task, research, and problem solve.

On an almost monthly basis, the RPM travels to their assigned region to evaluate properties and maintain relationships with tenants and retail operations. This includes handling aged receivables, budgeting, and reviewing P&L’s to ensure successful financial and operational performance. By performing physical inspections, including roof walks, and communicating with in-house maintenance personnel and other departments within Publix, the RPM helps to ensure a safe, clean, and convenient shopping environment for Publix customers. The Regional Property Manager reports to the Portfolio Manager.

In Publix’s corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix’s corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
