If you know Affordable Housing, know how to lead a team, and know how to keep a community moving in the right direction, we want to talk to you!

Pratum Companies is looking for experienced Community Managers to join our South Florida team, with opportunities available in West Palm Beach, Fort Pierce, and Fort Lauderdale.

And we're offering a $1,500 sign-on bonus because we know experienced Affordable Housing professionals bring tremendous value to the table.

We are looking for Community Managers who aren't afraid to take ownership of their community. Someone who can lead a team, build relationships with residents, stay ahead of compliance, manage the financial side of the property, and make sure the community looks and operates the way it should.

If you understand LIHTC, Project-Base Section 8, HUD compliance, occupancy, collections, budgets, maintenance operations, and resident relations, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

What You'll Be Leading

As the Community Manager, you are the quarterback of the property. You will oversee the overall operation of your community while working with your team to meet the financial, operational, compliance, and resident-service goals of the property.

• As the Community Manager, you are the quarterback of the property. You will oversee the overall operation of your community while working with your team to meet the financial, operational, compliance, and resident-service goals of the property.
  Your responsibilities will include:
• Overseeing annual and interim recertifications, income certifications, resident eligibility, and compliance reporting
• Making sure resident files are accurate, complete, organized, and audit-ready

• Coordinating maintenance and repairs and making sure health and safety issues are addressed promptly
• Building positive relationships with residents while still holding everyone accountable to the lease and community policies
• Addressing resident concerns and resolving issues professionally and fairly
• Supervising, coaching, training, and developing your onsite team
• Creating a culture of teamwork, accountability, urgency, and pride in the property
• Building relationships with local organizations, agencies, vendors, and community partners
• Keeping ownership and leadership informed about what's happening at the property - the good, the challenging, and everything in between

Because let's face it: a great Community Manager doesn't just know what's happening in the office. They know what's happening on their entire property.

A Little About the Schedule

Property Management isn't always an 8-to-5 world. Candidates must be dependable and able to work their scheduled hours consistently. There may be times when overtime, on-call responsibilities, after-hours resident events, or travel are required.

We aren't going to pretend Property Management doesn't occasionally throw a curveball and we're looking for leaders who know how to catch it and keep moving.

Education & Experience

A high school diploma or GED is required, along with a minimum of three years of residential property management experience.

Candidates must be comfortable working with financial information, performing intermediate mathematical calculations, using property management software, and managing the many moving pieces that come with operating an Affordable Housing community.

Ready to Make Your Next Move?

We have opportunities available throughout South Florida in:
