Insero Talent Solutions is recruiting for an experienced Director of Property Management to provide senior-level leadership and oversight for a portfolio of affordable housing communities during an important period of organizational and portfolio transition.

This individual will oversee the day-to-day property management and asset performance of a select portfolio of approximately six residential communities, primarily located throughout New York State with one property in Pennsylvania.

• Collaborate with leadership on property transitions, dispositions, ownership changes, and other strategic initiatives.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure properties remain operationally and financially prepared for future transitions.
• Provide hands-on leadership and problem-solving as issues arise across the portfolio.
• Support additional portfolio and organizational initiatives as needed throughout the transition period.
