Job description

Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF) is a social outreach ministry that has been empowering communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless since 1998. Founded in Austin, Texas, the organization serves its homeless neighbors through three core programs: Truck Ministry, Community First! Village, and Community Works. Often referred to as the most talked about neighborhood in Austin, Community First! Village is a 51-acre master planned development that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. We are now embarking on a new phase of community expansion, adding more than 1400 new neighbors over the next 5-10 years.

About the Role

At Community First! Village (CFV), the Neighbor Care department has the privilege of walking alongside our neighbors, providing opportunities for them to settle, cultivate, and care for themselves and others in this unique community home to formerly chronically homeless individuals. As a part of the Neighbor Care team, the Property Management team is animated by a vision to empower neighbors into a lifestyle of accountability, goodness, and mutual respect in order to create a peaceful and healthy community.

The Assistant Property Manager plays a vital role in maintaining the operational integrity of CFV, supporting the Property Manager in overseeing this unique residential community. This position supports lease compliance, neighbor relations, and the development of systems and procedures that keep daily operations running smoothly. The role also supervises Property Management staff, coordinates with law enforcement and supportive services partners, and serves as a key leader within the Neighbor Care team.

We are currently hiring for two Assistant Property Manager positions to support our continued growth: one role will remain on our main CFV campus on Hog Eye Road, while the second role will begin onboarding at that location before transitioning to our new Burleson property, tentatively targeted for October and subject to operational needs.

This is a full-time, exempt position reporting to the Property Manager. Due to the nature and requirements of the position, the hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm. Some nights and weekends may be required, as well as rotating on-call duties. Primary work location may shift based on operational needs and phase launch timing.
