Build Relationships. Make a Difference. Grow Your Career in Property Management!
Are you a licensed real estate professional who loves working with people, solving problems, and making a positive difference in your community? Do you want to develop into a successful Property Manager without having to do it all on your own?
Formatic Property Management is looking for an exceptional Resident Experience Manager (Assistant Property Manager) to join our Oʻahu team!
This is not your typical Assistant Property Manager position. You will be the friendly, professional face of Formatic for our residents, helping ensure that their homes are well cared for, maintenance is handled properly, and every interaction reflects our commitment to exceptional service.
You will work alongside an experienced Property Manager and be supported by dedicated leasing, maintenance, accounting, and administrative teams. Rather than juggling every aspect of property management yourself, you will have the opportunity to focus on building relationships, resolving challenges, and delivering a five-star resident experience.
And this is just the beginning!
We are looking for someone who wants to build a career with us. Our goal is to develop the right candidate into a full Property Manager within approximately one to two years, with substantially greater responsibility and income potential.
Please read the entire posting before applying.
Who We Are
Formatic Property Management is redefining what it means to manage rental properties. Founded in 2015, we have grown into a multi-state property management company serving Housing Partners and residents across Hawaiʻi, California, Colorado, and Pennsylvania.
We specialize in single-family homes and small multifamily properties, combining professional expertise, advanced technology, and a commitment to treating people with respect and compassion.
Our philosophy is simple: Built for Results, Powered by Innovation.
We believe great property management means more than collecting rent and coordinating repairs. It means protecting our Housing Partners' investments while providing residents with safe, well-maintained homes and outstanding service.
What Sets Us Apart
- A Team Behind You: You will be supported by specialized leasing, maintenance, accounting, and administrative teams, allowing you to focus on residents, properties, and professional growth.
- Real Career Advancement: This position is intended to develop into a full Property Manager role, with significant increases in responsibility and earning potential.
- Technology That Works for You: We invest heavily in systems, automation, and modern tools to reduce unnecessary administrative work and improve service.
- A Culture of Improvement: We welcome new ideas, encourage problem-solving, and believe that every team member can help make the company better.
- Meaningful Work: Your efforts directly impact the homes people live in, the experiences they have, and the long-term success of the Housing Partners who trust us with their investments.
Your Role at a Glance

- Serve as a friendly, professional, and responsive point of contact for residents.
- Build positive, respectful relationships while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
- Listen carefully to concerns, resolve problems within your authority, and ensure residents feel heard and valued.
- Proactively follow up on outstanding issues rather than waiting for residents to call again.
- Recognize situations that require Property Manager involvement and escalate them promptly.
2. Maintenance Oversight & Coordination
- Work closely with our Maintenance Coordinator to ensure maintenance requests are scheduled, tracked, and completed promptly.
- Communicate with residents regarding maintenance progress, scheduling, and follow-up.

3. Property Site Checks & Condition Monitoring
