Job Description

💼 Assistant Property Manager

📍 Boston, MA

💰 $80,000–$90,000 / year, depending on experience

OVERVIEW

A property management company with a scattered-site, market-rate portfolio across Boston neighborhoods is looking for an Assistant Property Manager ready to run a portfolio of their own. You'd take on roughly 100–150 units within a company portfolio of about 1,000 units total — older walk-ups, brownstones, and scattered buildings instead of one big complex, so no two days look quite the same.

This is a strong next step for an Assistant Property Manager with a couple years under their belt who's ready for more responsibility, or a Property Manager who wants the variety a scattered-site portfolio brings.

💼 WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage day-to-day operations for a scattered-site, market-rate portfolio of roughly 100–150 units
• Handle resident relations from move-in through renewal — lease signings, service requests, everyday questions
• Keep occupancy and leasing goals on track across multiple buildings at once
• Coordinate vendors and maintenance work building by building, since each one has its own quirks
• Review budgets and handle financial reporting for your portion of the portfolio
• Process lease renewals and stay on top of rent collection
• Work directly with ownership on how to keep each property performing well
• Track leasing activity, work orders, and resident communication in Yardi Voyager, RentCafe, and Maintenance IQ
• Be the first point of contact on the ground, solving problems before they grow

🤩 WHY YOU MATTER

Every building in this portfolio depends on someone who knows it inside and out. You're the person residents, vendors, and ownership all count on to keep things running — the one who makes an older building feel just as well cared for as a brand-new one.

🎒 WHAT IT TAKES

• 2+ years as an Assistant Property Manager
• Comfortable running a scattered-site portfolio rather than one big building
• Experience with older walk-ups, brownstones, or similar properties is a real plus
• Multi-property experience preferred
• A reliable commute into the Boston office — this is in-office, 9 to 5
• Able to take on-call responsibilities about one week every six weeks
• Strong attention to detail and the judgment to manage independently
• Familiarity with Yardi Voyager helps, but isn't required — RentCafe and Maintenance IQ are easy to pick up
• Clear, professional communication with residents, vendors, and ownership

🏆 THE PERKS!

• $80,000–$90,000 per year, depending on experience
• Health insurance (company covers 50%)
• Dental insurance (company covers 50%)
• IRA contribution
• Real room to grow into a bigger Boston-area portfolio
