Traveling Assistant Property Manager

Description 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. Essential Responsibilities Site Coverage & Travel Operate from an assigned home base community, determined by the candidate's location and the training capabilities of the Property Manager overseeing that community. May be directly assigned to report to a community or office other than home base as business needs require. Travel between Sharpline communities in the Kansas City, MO, Kansas City, KS, and Lawrence, KS areas as assigned. Provide full coverage for Assistant Property Manager and leasing team members during PTO, leaves, and position vacancies. Integrate quickly into each community's team, systems, and daily routines with minimal ramp-up. Maintain continuity of operations, reporting, and resident service at every assigned community. Communicate proactively with Property Managers and leadership regarding site needs, priorities, and observations. During off-season or slower periods, remain stationed at the home base community and provide virtual support to other communities as needed. Leasing & Occupancy Support leasing efforts at assigned communities to achieve and maintain occupancy goals. Conduct apartment tours and effectively communicate community features and benefits. Follow up on all leads according to company standards. Process applications and coordinate move-in procedures. Assist with resident retention initiatives, lease renewals, and expiration management. Resident Relations Deliver exceptional customer service to current and prospective residents at every community. Address resident concerns promptly and professionally, maintaining positive relationships. Support resident events, engagement initiatives, and community communications. Financial & Administrative Management Assist with rent collection efforts and delinquency management, including collection calls and documentation. Process and track resident payments accurately and maintain resident ledgers. Assist in preparing monthly reports, financial summaries, and move-out charge documentation. Coordinate eviction preparation and documentation as necessary, in accordance with company policy and applicable laws. Property Operations & Compliance Support daily office operations and administrative functions at assigned communities. Ensure resident files remain complete and audit-ready. Maintain compliance with Fair Housing regulations and company policies at every location. Assist with property inspections, operational audits, and implementation of company initiatives. Requirements Successful Candidates Will Consistently Demonstrate: Adaptability — the ability to walk into any community and add value on day one. Exceptional customer service and professional communication skills. Strong attention to detail, organization, and accuracy across multiple sites. Ownership and accountability for results, even in short-term assignments. Positive attitude, team-oriented mindset, and commitment to Sharpline Communities' service standards. A desire to grow with Sharpline into a Property Manager role. Required Qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent. Prior experience as an Assistant Property Manager (or equivalent multifamily role) and leasing experience.

Ability to travel between communities daily and adjust site assignments on short notice. Strong organizational and multitasking abilities. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to maintain confidentiality and professionalism. Preferred: Experience supporting multiple communities or working in a floating/roving capacity. Experience with property management software such as AppFolio. Knowledge of Fair Housing regulations. Experience with collections, delinquency management, and resident retention. Physical Requirements: Ability to operate a motor vehicle and travel between communities daily. Ability to walk apartment homes and community grounds. Ability to climb stairs and navigate multiple building levels. Ability to lift up to 25 pounds occasionally.
