This is a leadership position designed for an experienced Florida-licensed Community Association Manager (CAM) who understands the HOA/COA industry, knows how to build strong relationships with Boards and homeowners, and has the leadership ability to support and develop a team of Community Association Managers. The General Manager will oversee a team of licensed CAMs within the Ponte Vedra office while maintaining a small portfolio of associations.
This individual will serve as a resource and escalation point for the management team, helping CAMs navigate challenging Board relationships, homeowner concerns, compliance matters, financial issues, vendor challenges, and overall community operations. The ideal candidate will be a proven community association management professional with 5+ years of licensed CAM experience, strong leadership skills, excellent communication abilities, and a demonstrated ability to hold a team accountable while maintaining a high level of client service.
- Lead, coach, mentor, and support a team of licensed Community Association Managers.
- Provide guidance and oversight to CAMs regarding Board relations, homeowner concerns, vendor management, inspections, maintenance, financial matters, and association operations.
- Conduct regular team meetings and one-on-one check-ins to review priorities, challenges, and performance.
- Establish expectations for responsiveness, communication, documentation, and client service.
- Monitor team performance and help identify opportunities for improvement and professional development.
- Assist with onboarding and training new Community Association Managers.
- Serve as a resource for CAMs when handling difficult or escalated situations.
- Promote consistency and accountability across the Ponte Vedra management team.
- Work closely with corporate leadership regarding staffing, performance, client retention, and operational needs.
Association & Client Management
- Maintain a small portfolio of assigned HOA/COA communities.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned Boards of Directors and association members.
- Attend and facilitate Board meetings, annual meetings, committee meetings, and other association meetings as required.
- Prepare agendas, management reports, meeting materials, and other documentation.
- Ensure Board members receive timely updates regarding projects, violations, maintenance, financial matters, and outstanding action items.
- Develop strong, professional relationships with Board members and community stakeholders.
- Respond promptly and professionally to Board and homeowner concerns.

- Assist leadership with special projects and operational initiatives affecting the Ponte Vedra office.
The General Manager is expected to lead by example and establish a culture centered around accountability, responsiveness, professionalism, and client service. This person should be comfortable stepping in when a CAM needs assistance, but also understand that effective leadership means developing managers to solve problems independently rather than simply solving every problem for them.

- Comfortable having difficult conversations and holding employees accountable.
- Highly organized and capable of managing competing priorities.
- A confident communicator with Boards, homeowners, vendors, and employees.
