Job description

Havenpark Communities was founded on the mission of creating caring communities for both our residents and employees. Havenpark has a portfolio of 100+ communities and more than 30,000 homesites across the U.S. We are experiencing intentional, rapid growth by continuously acquiring communities.

At Havenpark Communities, our mission is to make caring communities attainable for responsible residents across America. We acquire, improve, and operate manufactured home communities. Our unique culture is fun, rewarding, and inclusive of all, guided by our five core values: Respect, Grit, Collaboration, Stewardship, and Boldness.

Running a thriving residential community takes more than operational know-how — it takes genuine care for the people who call it home, the team that keeps it running, and the standards that make it a place worth living. If that sounds like the kind of work that energizes you, read on.

Havenpark Communities is a fast-growing owner and operator of manufactured home communities across the U.S., with more than 100 communities and 30,000 homesites nationwide. Our mission is simple: create caring, attainable communities for residents and a rewarding workplace for the people who serve them. We’re looking for a Community Manager to lead one of our communities and make that mission a daily reality.

About the Role

As a Community Manager II, you’re the heartbeat of your community.

• Create a resident experience worth renewing — addressing issues with urgency, empathy, and follow‑through
• Execute intentional touchpoints throughout the resident journey to drive satisfaction and year‑over‑year renewals
• Maintain accurate resident ledgers, generate monthly billing, and ensure work orders are resolved within 48 hours
• Oversee occupancy of rental homes and manage the sale of on‑site homes
• Track and protect a positive net operating income (NOI) for your community
• Manage expenses strategically through close oversight of vendors, suppliers, and staff spending
• Ensure rent is billed accurately and collected on time
• Execute all required legal notices and actions in compliance with state law and Fair Housing Standards
• Ensure all equipment and amenities meet safety standards and Havenpark’s community guidelines
• Maintain beautiful, well‑kept homesites and common areas that residents are proud to come home to
• Contribute to capital planning and ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and on scope

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in multi‑family property management; manufactured housing experience is a plus
• Strong organizational skills, sharp attention to detail, and a solutions‑oriented mindset
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to connect with residents, team members, and leadership alike
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
• High school diploma or GED required; Associate’s degree preferred
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
