Our Leasing Office is accessible to our residents; we open at 8:30 AM and close at 5:30 PM. We're also open each Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We ask that you be accessible to those hours and to be available to work up to 2 Saturdays a month. Particularly before the 1st of the month for rent collections. Your Community Manager will do their best to support any flexibility in the schedule you may need and to accommodate any requests made in advance for time off. On weeks where you work Saturday you'll have a business day off.

We're looking for you to fully support onsite Property Management Operations. This job is a training ground for promotion to Community Management. We need an encouraging and hands-on person to step in when necessary, complete projects, and help to motivate the onsite team.
