Title: Assistant Property Manager/Community Manager
Reports to: Property Manager
Department: Property Management
Temporary Full-Time | 6-Month Contract
Be the person who brings the whole community together.
A great community doesn’t run on its own. It takes someone who can build strong relationships, keep a team moving, spot issues before they become bigger problems, and make sure the details are taken care of.
As our Assistant Property Manager/Community Manager, you’ll be at the heart of the day-to-day experience for both our residents and our team. You’ll balance people, property, and priorities - supporting and coaching site teams, overseeing building maintenance and safety, coordinating contractors, keeping operations on track, and creating a community where residents feel heard and valued.
This is a role for someone who is hands-on, proactive, organized, and comfortable making decisions. You’ll need to be just as comfortable walking a property and talking with a resident as you are reviewing work orders, coordinating a contractor, leading your team, or tackling an unexpected issue.
If you’re a natural problem-solver who enjoys working with people, takes pride in a well-run property, and thrives when every day brings something different, we’d love to meet you.
