This posting is intended to provide applicants an opportunity to put their resumes on file with us. We will reach out when a position opens up that we feel you might be a good fit for.

Position Summary

Sharpline Communities is seeking an experienced, adaptable, and growth-minded Traveling Assistant Property Manager to support communities across our Kansas City metro and Lawrence portfolio. Rather than serving a single community, the Traveling Assistant Property Manager provides coverage and hands-on support wherever the need is greatest — covering team member PTO, filling vacant roles during recruitment, and reinforcing onsite teams during high-volume periods.

This role is a key part of Sharpline's leadership pipeline. The Traveling Assistant Property Manager gains direct exposure to every community, team, system, and process in the portfolio — learning the ins and outs of Sharpline operations from the ground up. For candidates who meet performance expectations, this position is designed as a direct pathway to promotion into a Property Manager role.

At Sharpline Communities, we are committed to creating exceptional communities where residents love to live and employees thrive. We believe in accountability, transparency, professional growth, and delivering an outstanding resident experience. Our team members are empowered to make an impact while contributing to the success of a growing multifamily portfolio.
