Assistant Property Manager

The Role in Context

Bozzuto's Assistant Property Manager position at their Wellington, FL community sits at the intersection of leasing performance and day-to-day operations. This isn't a pure leasing role, and it isn't a back-office admin job either. You're the person who closes tours, monitors delinquency, coaches the team, and holds down the property when the manager is out. At a company like Bozzuto, which manages a significant portfolio of Class A communities, the APM role carries real operational weight.

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like

Mornings might mean pulling a delinquency report and flagging accounts before they age past 30 days. Midday, you're walking a prospective resident through the community, personalizing the tour based on what you learned in the first two minutes of conversation. Afternoons could involve coaching a leasing consultant on follow-up technique or reviewing the exterior with fresh eyes before a regional visit. On weekends (one to two per month, with weekday days off in exchange), traffic tends to spike, and you're the one converting that traffic into signed leases.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Managing rent collection and keeping delinquency in check
• Conducting tours that lead to new leases, not just good impressions
• Maintaining the community's physical presentation, inside and out
• Using social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram to create content that supports leasing and brand awareness
• Stepping into the property manager's seat when needed, handling decisions with confidence
• Coaching and developing team members with a consistent, values-driven approach

Yardi experience is preferred. A real estate license is either required or expected within 90 days of hire, depending on applicable state rules. The salary range runs $56,000 to $64,000, with bonus eligibility on top of base. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of PTO plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

The APM who succeeds at Bozzuto isn't just good with people. They're comfortable reading a P&L, spotting a delinquency trend before it becomes a collections problem, and translating that financial awareness into daily team behavior. Two or more years in property management, hospitality, or retail is the baseline. What pushes a candidate from average to strong is the ability to sell, coach, and manage financial outcomes simultaneously without dropping any of the three. A four-year degree or equivalent experience rounds out the profile, but the operational instincts matter more than the credential.

This role is a natural stepping stone toward a Property Manager position, particularly for candidates who use the APM seat to build budget fluency and team leadership experience alongside their leasing skills.
