• Manage vendors and contracts: Negotiate with and oversee service providers to ensure top-quality, on-time work in line with their contracts; review and approve vendor invoices within established thresholds.
• Stay on top of compliance: Make sure all legal paperwork and actions are in process, working independently or with our legal and accounting departments.
• Know your market: Track competitive properties, local business conditions, and market trends that impact the property.
• Present your results: Prepare and present business plan results to senior leadership.
• Other duties as assigned.
