• Maintain accurate resident, lease, collection, renewal, and operational information in the property management system and required reports.

Lead, Support & Step In

• Serve as a trusted partner to the Community Director and help execute community priorities, team expectations, and action plans.

• Step into day-to-day leadership responsibilities when the Community Director is unavailable or as assigned.

• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism when handling resident, employee, financial, and company information.

• Ensure resident and prospect interactions comply with Fair Housing, ADA requirements, J Street policies, and applicable procedures.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with Yardi, OneSite, CRM, or similar property-management platforms preferred.

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Availability to work weekends and non-traditional hours as required by the community.
