Community Manager

About the Role

Be the Heart of a Community at Conifer Realty. As a Community Manager, you’ll do more than manage a property—you’ll help families feel secure, neighbors feel connected, and communities take pride in where they live. This role offers the chance to provide affordable, welcoming homes where children can grow, parents can breathe easier, and lives can flourish. If you want a career in property management where leadership meets purpose, this is it.

Responsibilities

• Lead with heart: mentor your team, foster growth, and create a culture where everyone feels valued.
• Shape "home": conduct inspections and reporting in affordable housing compliance (hold a TCS or COS certification or have at least 2 years managing LIHTC or HUD Project-Based files).
• Open doors: build trusted relationships with housing authorities and community partners to connect families with vital resources.
• Balance with care: oversee leasing, rent collection, financial oversight, budgeting, and vendor management with accuracy and integrity.
• Be present for people: guide residents through move-ins, move-outs, and daily needs with empathy and professionalism.
• Live our mission: take ownership of your community, ensuring every detail reflects Conifer's commitment to dignity, quality, and care.

Requirements

• 1+ years of property management experience.
• TCS or COS certification or at least 2 years managing LIHTC or HUD Project-Based files.
• Ability to mentor, coach, and inspire a team.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail.
• Comfortable managing weekend coverage on a rotating basis based on property performance needs (e.g., occupancy levels, leasing activity, rent collections).

Benefits

• Competitive pay with annual salary reviews.
• 13 paid holidays + 15 days PTO + two volunteer days + 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• Medical, dental, vision, HSA, and flex accounts.
• Retirement plans with company match.
• Incentive-driven wellness program (earn quarterly HSA contributions by participating in wellness initiatives).
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance.
• Ongoing training, certifications, and growth opportunities.
• A culture built on mission, belonging, and community impact.

Pay

$55,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year.

Schedule

• Full-time, Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week.
• Work schedules may include Saturdays based on property performance needs (e.g., occupancy levels, leasing activity, rent collections). Weekend coverage is scheduled on a rotating basis.
