About IRT Living

Opportunity Overview

Similar to an Assistant Community Manager, the Resident Relations Manager provides vital support to the General Manager and helps create a strong sense of community. In the General Manager’s absence, you’ll take the lead as the primary point of contact for residents—ensuring they feel acknowledged, supported, and genuinely valued. You’ll handle resident communications, thoughtfully resolve concerns, and work closely with onsite teams to deliver exceptional service and elevate the overall resident experience. You’ll play a central part in building a warm, welcoming atmosphere that residents are proud to call home.

Your Day-to-Day

  • Assist the General Manager by overseeing daily operations when they’re at the sister property
  • Be the go-to expert and friendly face for resident questions, concerns, and everyday needs
  • Jump in on leasing efforts—greet prospects, give engaging tours, follow up with leads, and help future residents find their perfect home
  • Keep things running smoothly by processing lease applications, screening applicants, and ensuring all paperwork is in order
  • Build strong relationships through clear communication with both current residents and prospects
  • Monitor local market trends and help the team stay competitive
  • Lead the charge on resident renewals and retention—because keeping happy residents is what it’s all about
  • Own our online reputation—manage social media, respond to reviews, and keep our digital presence positive and engaging

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Comprehensive Training: Company-paid, in-person training in Tampa, FL, to set you up for success.
  • Growth Opportunities: Ongoing development programs to support your career advancement.
  • Recognition & Appreciation: We celebrate individual and team achievements through various initiatives.

  • Benefits: Best-in-class medical, dental, and vision insurance, rent discounts, generous PTO, paid holidays, 100% company-paid insurance (Life, AD&D, and Long-Term Disability), and a 401(k) with a 100% company match (up to 4%).

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For:

  • 3 years of experience in multifamily property management preferred
  • Tech-savvy with proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); Entrata experience a plus
