Assistant Property Manager

Most apartment communities run on two things: leasing momentum and financial discipline. The Assistant Property Manager role exists because maintaining both at once takes more than one person. At Bozzuto's Severn, MD community, this position sits at the center of daily operations, splitting time between driving occupancy and keeping the financial side tight.

What the Job Actually Looks Like

Day to day, you're doing a few things in parallel. You're conducting tours, converting traffic into signed leases, and building the kind of resident relationships that reduce turnover. You're also watching delinquency closely, collecting rent, and managing the financial reporting that keeps the property on budget. When the Property Manager is out, you run the site. That's not an occasional thing; it's a real part of the role.

You'll coach and mentor leasing staff, hold the team to brand standards, and make sure the property looks the part, inside and out. Bozzuto expects a professional appearance from both the community and the people representing it. Weekend availability is required, roughly one to two weekends per month, with compensating weekdays off.

The salary range is $60,000 to $63,860, with bonus eligibility on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

What Bozzuto Is Looking For

• Four-year degree or equivalent work experience in property management, hospitality, or retail
• At least two years of relevant industry experience
• Exposure to P&L, budgets, and revenue management
• Comfort with social media content creation (Facebook, Instagram)
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Proficiency with property management software, Yardi preferred
• Demonstrated sales ability

Candidates who stand out at this level usually come in with a clear handle on delinquency management and can speak to how they've moved occupancy numbers, not just described their leasing duties. If you've had any exposure to NOI or budget variance conversations with a property manager, that context helps you step into the leadership gap this role requires. The APM position is a common path to a Property Manager title, and companies like Bozzuto tend to promote from within when the candidate has shown they can run a site independently.
