Assistant General Manager

Most leasing teams succeed or struggle based on who's running the floor when the General Manager isn't there. That's the real weight of an Assistant General Manager role, and it's why Bozzuto takes the hire seriously. This isn't a stepping stone for someone waiting around for a promotion. It's a position that demands genuine leadership, sales instincts, and the ability to hold a team accountable with patience rather than pressure.

Based in Stamford, CT, this role sits inside one of the more active rental markets in the Northeast. Stamford draws a mix of commuters, young professionals, and corporate relocations, which means your prospect pool is varied. Residents have real expectations. They compare your community to other Class A options in the area, and they'll notice quickly if the experience doesn't match the price point. That context matters when you're conducting tours, handling service concerns, or coaching a leasing consultant through a tough follow-up conversation.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

Day to day, you're moving between leasing, operations, and people management. You'll conduct personalized community tours that convert, not just inform. You'll manage delinquency, post rent receipts, and keep an eye on occupancy numbers. When the GM is out, you step into that decision-making seat without waiting to be told. The team looks to you, and you need to already know what you're doing when that moment comes.

Weekends are part of the schedule. Prospective residents shop on Saturdays and Sundays, so you'll work one to two weekends per month with corresponding weekdays off. That's not a small thing, and it's worth naming directly. If weekend availability is a real conflict, this role will create friction fast.

• 2+ years in property management, hospitality, or retail
• Familiarity with rent collection, delinquency management, and basic budget concepts
• Experience with Yardi or comparable property management software preferred
• Comfort creating and posting content across social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Real estate license required or must be obtained within 90 days of hire where applicable
• Four-year degree or equivalent hands-on experience

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

The candidates who thrive in this role aren't just organized. They read people well. Bozzuto's brand is built on the resident experience, which means your instincts for conversation, empathy, and follow-through carry as much weight as your leasing numbers. Someone who can close a lease but leaves residents feeling processed rather than heard won't last long here.

This role also tends to lead somewhere. AGMs at well-run companies like Bozzuto who demonstrate consistent financial performance and team development often move into General Manager seats within a few years. The exposure you get here, including budget accountability, delinquency management, and team oversight, builds a resume that translates directly into site leadership.

Compensation for this position ranges from $67,362 to $70,000, with additional bonus opportunities. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401(k) with company match, and tuition reimbursement.
