Job Description
Description We are looking for an experienced Property Manager to oversee residential communities in Newark, New Jersey, within the real estate development sector. This Long-term Contract opportunity calls for a detail-oriented individual who can balance occupancy performance, regulatory compliance, resident satisfaction, and day-to-day property operations. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in affordable and mixed-housing administration, maintain organized records, and collaborate effectively with residents, vendors, and internal teams.
Responsibilities:
- Drive leasing activity for available units by managing applicant pipelines, keeping waiting lists current, and supporting prospective residents through the application process.
- Coordinate move-ins, lease documentation, renewals, and resident onboarding while clearly explaining eligibility guidelines, lease obligations, and program requirements.
- Monitor occupancy trends on a regular basis and take timely action to support high utilization levels across assigned properties.
- Maintain compliance for subsidized and regulated housing programs by completing recertifications on schedule and preserving accurate, audit-ready files in both digital and physical formats.
- Build and maintain productive relationships with housing partners, subsidy administrators, and third-party payors to ensure timely documentation and payment follow-through.
- Support overall property operations by tracking maintenance requests, unit turnovers, inspections, and preventive service schedules, escalating concerns when standards or deadlines are at risk.
- Conduct routine property walks to identify appearance, safety, or maintenance issues and help preserve a strong resident experience and quality presentation.
- Address resident matters such as transfers, accommodation requests, and general concerns with responsiveness and sound judgment.
- Review market conditions for applicable units, adjust pricing strategies when needed, and assist with marketing efforts to strengthen leasing results.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to advance operational goals, share effective practices, and deliver consistent service across the portfolio. Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in property management, including residential or mixed-portfolio environments.
- Demonstrated knowledge of HUD programs (LIHTC), compliance processes, recertifications, and lease administration.
- Experience handling occupancy goals, waitlist management, leasing workflows, and resident file maintenance.
- Proficiency with Yardi and related property management or resident portal systems.
- Strong understanding of maintenance coordination, inspections, and apartment turnover oversight.
- Ability to communicate effectively with residents, vendors, housing partners, and internal stakeholders.
- Organized approach to documentation, with the ability to maintain complete and audit-ready records at all times.
- Strong customer service skills and the ability to manage sensitive resident situations with discretion.
