Assistant Community Manager

Havenpark Communities operates manufactured home communities, and if you're not familiar with that corner of the industry, here's the honest version: it's high-touch, relationship-heavy work. Residents aren't just renewing leases. Many of them own their homes and rent the land underneath. That changes everything about how you interact with people, handle concerns, and think about community.

The Assistant Community Manager role at Havenpark's Romeo, MI location supports day-to-day operations of the community. That means rent collection and delinquency follow-up, leasing activity for available homesites, resident communication, and helping maintain the records and reporting that keep a community running. It's not a back-office job. You'll be visible, you'll be accessible, and residents will know who you are within your first week.

Havenpark is growing fast, with over 100 communities and more than 30,000 homesites across the country. That scale creates real opportunity for people who perform well at the community level, but it also means you need to be adaptable. Systems, processes, and priorities can shift as the portfolio expands. If that kind of pace makes you uncomfortable, this probably isn't the right fit. If it motivates you, there's genuine room to grow.

The manufactured housing space tends to reward people who build real rapport with residents. These aren't transient apartment renters. Many have lived in the same home for years and have opinions about how the community should be run. Strong assistants in this type of role know how to hold a firm policy line without being dismissive, and they know when to escalate and when to handle something themselves.

What Havenpark looks for

• Prior experience in property management or a related customer-facing field
• Comfort with leasing activity, resident accounts, and basic office operations
• Reliability and follow-through on routine tasks like collections and reporting
• A working style that fits a team-driven, people-first culture
• Willingness to grow within a company that's adding communities at a steady clip

Romeo is a smaller market, which means the community likely has a tight-knit feel. Residents talk to each other. Word travels fast when something goes wrong, and equally fast when management handles things well. That visibility can be a lot of pressure, but it's also what makes this kind of role satisfying in a way that a large urban high-rise rarely is.

Havenpark's stated core values include Grit and Stewardship, which actually maps to what this job requires: showing up consistently, treating the community like it matters, and not cutting corners when things get difficult. That's what this role runs on.
