We're looking for a motivated, boots-on-the-ground Assistant Property Manager to work closely with ownership in overseeing a diverse portfolio of properties, including apartments, single-family homes, mixed-use buildings, and commercial spaces. This is not just a desk job, you'll be out at the properties, being ownership's eyes and hands during the week so issues get caught and handled without needing to call in a contractor for every little thing. This role sits in between maintenance and property management. You won't be expected to do skilled repair work, but you should be comfortable being on-site, walking properties, spotting problems, picking up materials, coordinating small fixes, and generally being the person ownership can count on to check on things in person. Some administrative and tenant-facing responsibilities carry over from a traditional property manager role, but the day-to-day will be much more hands-on and out in the field than in an office.
