About the Role:

This is a portfolio management role for someone who prefers structure, takes ownership of their work, and follows through consistently.  The Community Manager ensures coordination between management, residents, and stakeholders and supports all aspects of day-to-day property operations. The Community Manager also provides guidance to the Board on community issues.

You’ll be joining a small, growing team at Action Community Management that operates with a high level of collaboration, ownership, and follow-through. This team-first environment values consistency, adaptability, and a strong, positive dynamic over rigid corporate structure. Team members work closely together, support one another, and take pride in delivering dependable, high-quality service across their portfolios. 

Success in this role requires strong organization across multiple communities, attention to detail, and the ability to keep priorities moving without letting things fall through the cracks.  You’ll be supported by dedicated staff who manage service requests and violation tracking, allowing you to focus on portfolio oversight, board relationships, and proactive management.

If you’re someone who likes to stay organized, solve problems thoughtfully, and managing communities with consistency and care, this role will be a strong fit.

Onboarding & Support

You’ll start by shadowing experienced team members and learning how the team operates across systems, communication, and portfolio management.

This is a collaborative, supportive environment that values consistency, accountability, and clear communication. The team works closely together, supports one another, and maintains a positive, low-drama dynamic.

Systems & Tools

• Vantaca (preferred)

• Microsoft Office (basic working knowledge expected)

We use modern systems and are continually evolving how we operate, including the use of AI tools. Comfort with technology and the ability to learn new systems quickly is important in this role.
