Assistant Community Manager

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Assistant Community Manager supports the Community Manager in the daily operation and performance of a manufactured housing community. This role carries out rent collection, resident service, leasing and sales support, recordkeeping, and office administration, and keeps the community running when the Community Manager is away. It is a hands-on role and a clear path toward Community Manager for someone who wants to grow into full site responsibility.

This is a fully on-site role, requiring a consistent physical presence at the community to support day-to-day operations and resident needs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Operational Support

• Support the daily operations of the manufactured housing community, and follow company policies and local and state regulations.
• Conduct regular property walks and inspections, and report curb appeal, safety, and maintenance issues to the Community Manager.
• Carry out the rent collection process, including posting payments, issuing receipts, and preparing late notices under the direction of the Community Manager.
• Coordinate day-to-day work with maintenance staff and vendors, and track completion of service requests and home turns.
• Track lot and home inventory, including vacant lots, company-owned homes, and homes in turn, and keep the inventory record current.
• Assist with utility billing and pass-throughs where applicable, including meter reads and first-level response to billing questions.
• Document community rule and lease violations, prepare notices for Community Manager review, and maintain the violation file.
• Obtain vendor certificates of insurance and tax forms, schedule vendor visits, and confirm work is complete before submitting invoices for approval.
• Emergency/severe-weather point of contact and general day-to-day authority during CM absence, scoped by Regional Operations Manager approval.

Financial Support

• Assist with preparation of the annual operating budget by gathering data, invoices, and historical details.
• Code and submit invoices for Community Manager approval and follow up on billing discrepancies.
• Track delinquency daily, make resident outreach calls, and document payment arrangements approved by the Community Manager.
• Maintain petty cash, prepare deposits, and issue receipts in line with company financial controls.
• Prepare recurring operating, occupancy, and delinquency reports for Community Manager review.

Leasing & Sales Support

• Support the community leasing and sales function, including responding to inquiries, scheduling appointments, and showing available homes and lots.
• Log all leads and walk-in traffic in the company system, and keep the pipeline record current.
• Assist prospective residents with applications and required documentation, and prepare files for screening and approval.
• Present homes, pricing, and terms only from company-approved materials, and refer questions about financing, incentives, or fees to the Community Manager.
• Conduct all leasing and sales support activity in strict compliance with Fair Housing and advertising requirements.

Resident Relations

• Serve as a first point of contact for residents, and respond to calls, emails, and walk-ins promptly and professionally.
• Log resident concerns and service requests, route them appropriately, and follow up until they are closed.
• Prepare and distribute resident notices, newsletters, and community communications as directed.
• Assist with community events and programs that support resident engagement and retention.
• Conduct move-in orientations, and complete move-in and move-out inspections with supporting photos and documentation.
• Apply company policies and Fair Housing requirements consistently in every resident interaction.

Team Support

• Direct and support on-site staff on daily task priorities as assigned by the Community Manager.
• Help onboard and train new on-site team members on company systems and procedures.
• Report performance or conduct concerns to the Community Manager rather than acting independently on discipline.

Compliance & Recordkeeping

• Maintain accurate records of leases, rent payments, work orders, and other community documentation in company systems.
• Maintain resident files, home titles, and lease documents, and safeguard resident personal and payment information.
• Track community licenses, permits, registrations, and inspection due dates, and alert the Community Manager ahead of deadlines.

• Prepare and submit required reports to the Community Manager and corporate management on the required cadence.
