• 4+ years in multifamily property management, compliance, legal, or regulatory affairs.
• Working knowledge of LIHTC, Section 8, or other affordable housing compliance.
• Familiarity with California and Bay Area rental law, eviction procedure, and Fair Housing.
• Strong systems and organizational skills; Yardi experience is a plus.

• Regulatory, safety, and insurance compliance across the portfolio, including certificates of insurance and inspection deadlines.
• Application and leasing compliance, keeping screening and lease decisions consistent and defensible.
• Eviction oversight and Fair Housing review for roughly 20 to 30 cases a year.
• Contract compliance: renewals, service levels, and vendor obligations.
• Legal and pre‑legal documentation, filed, organized, and discovery‑ready.
• The master compliance calendars and reporting that keep leadership informed.
