Join our team as a Compliance Manager at Gorman & Company! Are you an experienced affordable housing compliance professional who enjoys solving complex compliance challenges, supporting teams, and keeping programs on track? Gorman & Company is seeking a Compliance Manager to lead and support compliance operations across a nationwide portfolio of affordable housing communities. In this remote role, you’ll supervise and mentor a team, provide guidance on HUD, LIHTC, PBRA, HOME, and other affordable housing programs, partner with internal teams, and help ensure our properties remain compliant with changing regulations and agency requirements. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across a growing affordable housing portfolio while working alongside a collaborative, mission-driven team.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and support a group of Compliance team members, providing guidance on day-to-day compliance questions, file corrections, audits, and regulatory requirements.
• Review and approve applicant, move‑in, transfer, and recertification files to ensure eligibility, accurate calculations, and compliance with applicable HUD, LIHTC, PBRA, HOME, and other affordable housing programs.
• Conduct and oversee on‑site and remote compliance audits, identify deficiencies, document findings, and coordinate timely corrective action and resolution with property and internal teams.
• Prepare and submit responses to agency audits, Management and Occupancy Reviews (MORs), agency inquiries, and other regulatory requests while maintaining strong relationships with state and federal agencies.
• Monitor lease‑ups, occupancy, waitlists, Limited Admission Plans (LAP), EIV master binders, and other compliance requirements while analyzing site‑level information across systems to identify potential issues.
• Review and analyze regulatory documents, program contracts, and property‑level data to ensure compliance requirements are accurately implemented across systems and operations.
• Maintain compliance forms, documentation, and internal resources, including supporting updates to the compliance manual, procedures, and departmental workflows as regulations and company needs evolve.
• Validate compliance forms, system configurations, and site assignments within RealPage OneSite and other applicable software systems to support accurate and consistent compliance practices.
• Partner with the Training team to develop and deliver compliance training, support new initiatives, and communicate regulatory or process changes to property teams and other internal stakeholders.
• Stay current on HUD, LIHTC, PBRA, HOME, and other affordable housing regulations and serve as a resource through weekly office hours, responsive guidance, and problem‑solving for property and corporate teams.

• Strong knowledge of HUD 4350.3, EIV, LIHTC income limits and rent calculations, Fair Housing, IRS 8823 requirements, Reasonable Accommodation processes, and other applicable affordable housing regulations.
• Experience with RealPage OneSite or a similar property management system, with the ability to analyze compliance information across systems and identify discrepancies or areas of concern.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, organization, attention to detail, problem‑solving, and relationship‑management skills, with a strong commitment to responsive internal and external customer service.
• Ability to travel approximately 2–3 days at a time every other month, with occasional overnight travel as needed.

Why Work With Us at Gorman

• Competitive salary of $80,000–$95,000, based on experience.
• Remote flexibility while making a nationwide impact across Gorman’s affordable housing portfolio.
• Generous paid time off with 18 days of PTO plus 11.5 paid holidays.
• Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision, short‑and‑long‑term disability, and an Employee Assistance Program.
• Build for your future with a 401(k) and 6% company match.
