ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEARNING A NEW INDUSTRY AND SKILL SET? (No previous industry experience required)

We are looking for positive and motivated professionals who would like to make a complete career change into property and HOA community management. We do not require prior HOA experience as we have our own education company that will provide you with an industry-leading education foundation. The initial understanding of our industry will take you one year to learn the complexity, and you will be an industry expert in two to three years. You will also have mentors assigned to provide real-life support to advance your skill set. The education in property management will serve you well in future roles in our company or in your external career progression.

The starting compensation is $55,000 a year with reviews and performance increase opportunities every 6 months.

Typical background could be from retail, restaurants, hospitality, administrative roles, department managers, office management, operations, and many more. Candidates typically have at least 10 years of professional experience in roles where pro-active effort and decisions are required.

In this role, you will learn customer services, administration, communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, insurance, budgets, financials, legal matters, vendor management, and much more. Please think of it as a solid foundation for general business matters and administration.

A little about us:

We believe a vibrant culture is based on trust. We are looking for positive and motivated people that can help us reimagine a vibrant work environment, focused on support, career development, fun, autonomy, and strong human connections among colleagues.

We do not hire employees… We hire work family.

While the role is partially remote, we do believe in being social with each other. Learning is also best achieved in person. During the initial first 4 to 6 weeks of training, you should expect to spend a significant amount of time in the office, shadowing others, attending board meetings, taking online courses learning, and understanding our industry and your role. This will set you up for success and ensure long-term success. After this training phase, we can work with you remotely, and the Division President will determine how much time in the office and how much remote from home.
