Job Description

Property Manager – Link Apartments® CYKEL & The J

📍 Charlotte, NC | Full-Time

Lead Two of Charlotte's Most Unique Apartment Communities

Not every Property Manager role looks the same.

Grubb Properties is seeking a Property Manager to oversee two boutique apartment communities totaling fewer than 200 homes. Both communities offer a distinctive, walkable, car-free living experience, including one stabilized community and one exciting new micro-apartment lease-up. You'll gain valuable lease-up experience while leading a small on-site team and building meaningful resident relationships in two of Charlotte's most unique communities.

This is an excellent opportunity for an emerging property management leader who enjoys building relationships, wearing multiple hats, and making a visible impact. Because you'll be leading two close-knit communities, success in this role comes from taking ownership, building strong relationships, and being the kind of leader your team can count on when it matters most. You'll have the opportunity to help launch a new community while leading daily operations at an established one—all within a collaborative team environment.

🔑 What You'll Do

• Lead daily operations across two boutique apartment communities.
• Partner with the leasing and maintenance teams to deliver an exceptional resident experience.
• Oversee marketing, leasing performance, resident retention, budgeting, collections, and financial reporting to achieve occupancy and financial goals.
• Lead the lease-up of a new furnished micro-apartment community while ensuring continued operational excellence at an established property.
• Partner with the maintenance team to ensure timely completion of work orders, apartment turns, preventative maintenance, and excellent property appearance.
• Lead, coach, and develop a small onsite team by providing training, performance feedback, and day-to-day leadership.
• Build relationships with residents and create welcoming, community-focused living environments.
• Ensure operational excellence, compliance, safety, and asset preservation.

✅ What We're Looking For

• High School Diploma/Equivalent required.
• 2–5 years of residential property management or multifamily housing experience.
• Previous experience as an Assistant Property Manager ready to step into a Property Manager role or current Property Manager experience.
• Strong leadership, organizational, and financial skills.
• Excellent customer service and communication abilities.
• Proficiency with Yardi and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment while taking initiative, collaborating with others, and managing multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree.
• CAM (Certified Apartment Manager) or CAPS (Certified Apartment Portfolio Supervisor) designation, or interest in obtaining one.

🚶 Physical Requirements

• Typical office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Property management is a customer-facing business, and this leadership role requires flexibility to support the community, residents, and team members during evenings, weekends, and emergencies as business needs arise.
• On-site role with frequent walking and stair climbing.
• Must have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to navigate indoor/outdoor property areas.
• Frequently communicates with residents, team members, vendors, and business partners in person and through phone, email, Microsoft Teams, text messaging, and other electronic communication methods.
• Frequently operates a computer and other standard office equipment to complete administrative work, prepare reports, and communicate with residents, vendors, and team members.
