What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Community Manager position at Property Management Jobs?
The Scion Group operates student housing at scale, and 44 North in Minneapolis reflects that model: a community where occupancy pressure, lease-up timing, and resident satisfaction all hit at once, usually during the same week. The Assistant Community Manager title here carries real operational weight. Scion calls the role Resident Services Manager internally, and the scope matches: this person owns the resident experience from move-in to move-out while keeping leasing workflows, delinquency follow-up, and compliance processes moving in parallel.
Day to day, you're watching the Entrata dashboard the way a revenue manager watches a hotel's booking curve. Delinquency notices go out on schedule. Lease documents get generated, reviewed, and countersigned under the General Manager's direction. Move-in inspections get coordinated. When a resident dispute escalates, you're the one mediating it before it becomes a negative review or a legal matter. Reputation management across review platforms is an explicit part of the job, which means your resident interactions have a measurable downstream effect on traffic and lease conversion.
The leasing support component is real. You're not running the leasing team, but you provide backup on lead follow-up, sales calls, and lease execution when volume demands it. During peak move-in periods, which in student housing often means a compressed August window where hundreds of residents arrive in days, evening and weekend availability is expected. The role also calls for occasional support at other properties in the Scion portfolio, so comfort operating outside your home community matters.
Student housing creates a specific operational challenge worth naming: residents are often first-time renters, which means the volume of service requests, questions, and complaints runs higher than at a conventional multifamily property. Strong candidates come in with conflict resolution instincts already developed, not just customer service polish. The ability to handle a crisis call, a delinquency escalation, and a resident event all in the same day without losing composure is the real differentiator here.
