• Handle escalated owner and tenant concerns.
• Monitor tenant renewals and support reasonable tenant-retention efforts.
• When a tenant is leaving, ensure advertising, professional photography, leasing, and turnover activities begin promptly.
• Oversee occupied-property takeovers and ensure all leases, tenant records, property information, and required documents are collected.
• Ensure tenants receive the appropriate management notification and introduction.
• Track overdue tasks, unresolved cases, response times, and property-manager performance.
• Produce clear reports identifying risks, missed deadlines, and required actions.
• Improve workflows, service standards, documentation, and accountability.
  
  

Required Experience

• Four or more years of North American residential property-management, property-operations, owner-relations, or closely related experience.
• At least two years of experience leading or managing property managers, portfolio managers, account managers, or another client-facing operational team.
• Experience with owner and tenant communication, rent collection, renewals, maintenance, leasing, turnovers, and escalations.
• Experience holding employees accountable for deadlines and performance expectations.
• Experience with Buildium, AppFolio, Yardi, Propertyware, Rent Manager, or comparable property-management software.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Strong organization, judgment, conflict-resolution, and follow-through.
• Ability to be assertive and direct while remaining calm and professional.
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions without constant supervision.
• Availability to work full-time during Eastern Time business hours.
• Reliable high-speed internet, backup connectivity or power, and a professional environment for calls.

Who Will Succeed

The right person is comfortable addressing missed deadlines, challenging unclear explanations, managing difficult conversations, and establishing accountability.
