What to consider when moving from full-time strata management into part-time, temporary, project or return-to-work opportunities.
Experience does not need to mean five days a week
Many strata professionals have valuable operational knowledge but are not looking for another conventional full-time role. That includes managers who are semi-retired, returning after parental leave, balancing other commitments or interested in contract assignments between permanent positions.
Temporary portfolio cover, project work and part-time support can be a practical way to remain active in the industry while having greater control over work arrangements.
Be clear about your preferred days
There is a difference between being available on five weekdays and wanting to work five days. If you can work Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays but only want to accept two days each week, tell us both. It makes matching more useful and reduces conversations about unsuitable roles.
Describe your strengths, not just your title
Strata businesses need different kinds of assistance. Some require someone confident with committees, meetings and complex portfolios. Others need administrative support, trust accounting experience, specialist projects or a reliable second pair of hands during a period of growth.
A short description of your experience, relevant qualifications and the systems you know often says more than a job title alone. Familiarity with software such as PropertyIQ, Strata Master or Urbanise may also be important for short assignments where onboarding time is limited.
Understand the engagement before agreeing
Ask about expected hours, location, reporting arrangements, the scope of responsibility and whether the role is an assignment through Strata Temp Co or a direct engagement with the strata business. The correct arrangement depends on the opportunity and will be discussed before you commit.
Register without obligation
