Assistant Manager - Capitol Flats

It's the first of the month. Three residents are at the door before the coffee's done, the delinquency report needs attention before your Business Manager gets on a call, and a make-ready inspection is waiting for sign-off before a new move-in at noon. This is the rhythm of the Assistant Manager role at Capitol Flats.

The Role at Capitol Flats

Olympus Property, a three-time National Apartment Association Top Employer (2023, 2024, and 2025), is hiring an Assistant Manager for Capitol Flats in Albuquerque. The role sits at the intersection of financial oversight and resident relations. You'll manage rent collection and ensure all deposits hit before bank close each day, maintain accurate resident files, and step in for the Business Manager during absences. That dual-site setup means your Business Manager may not always be on property, so your ability to operate independently carries real weight here.

Leasing support is part of the job. When traffic picks up or the leasing team needs backup, you'll show units and contribute to retention efforts and community events. You'll also inspect make-ready apartments before move-ins, assess move-out conditions, and ensure final account statements go out promptly. If a liability claim or legal complaint surfaces, you'll route it to the right people quickly and cleanly.

Albuquerque's rental market has seen meaningful population and employment growth over the past few years, with several new Class A communities coming online in the metro. Staying current on nearby retail activity, hiring trends, and new construction isn't just a box to check here. That submarket awareness directly shapes how Capitol Flats positions itself on concessions, occupancy targets, and renewal strategy.

What Olympus Is Looking For

• Prior onsite experience as an Assistant Manager or a cross-trained Leasing Consultant
• Comfort managing financial records, collections, and daily deposits with accuracy
• Experience with RealPage, Knock, or Onesite (strongly preferred)
• Availability Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, with flexibility for resident events and the first weekend of each month
• Ability to support a dual-site Business Manager structure

The candidates who stand out in this kind of role combine front-desk approachability with back-office discipline. Handling a resident complaint and then returning to an accurate collections report without losing focus on either is a daily requirement, not an occasional one.

Pay runs $20.00 to $23.00 per hour depending on experience, plus monthly renewal and quarterly bonus incentives. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer matching, educational assistance and tuition reimbursement, an apartment rental allowance, and a sabbatical program, among others.
