• Strong organizational and project-management skills, with the ability to track multiple units, vendors, schedules, and resident communications at once.
• Comfortable working with residents in high-touch situations
• Problem-solver mindset; you anticipate issues and handle them quickly
• Experience coordinating vendors (movers, hotels, contractors) is a strong plus
• Comfortable working on-site regularly and being in the field

What Success Looks Like

• Tenants are informed, prepared, and cooperative
• Minimal delays due to logistics or coordination issues
• Issues are resolved quickly without escalation

Compensation
