Assistant Property Manager

It's a Tuesday afternoon and the property manager is out. A prospective resident just walked in without an appointment, two maintenance work orders are sitting unresolved, and rent collection for the month is three days from closing. That's a normal Tuesday as an Assistant Property Manager at Bozzuto's Miami community.

What This Role Actually Involves

The APM position at Bozzuto sits at the intersection of sales, operations, and resident relations. You're not just a leasing agent with a fancier title. You own the delinquency process, meaning you track who hasn't paid, follow up consistently, and help protect the community's NOI. You conduct tours, and Bozzuto expects those tours to be personalized and informed, not scripted and robotic. You coach and mentor the team around you, which requires patience and genuine follow-through, not just enthusiasm.

When the Property Manager is out, you lead. Full stop. That responsibility is baked into the role, and it's worth taking seriously before you apply.

Weekend availability is required, one to two weekends per month, with compensating weekdays off. That trade-off works well for some people and poorly for others. Worth being honest with yourself about it upfront.

Bozzuto uses Yardi, so comfort with that platform matters. Social media content creation is also part of the job, specifically Facebook and Instagram, so if you've never thought about how a property presents itself online, you'll want to start.

What You Bring

• A four-year degree or equivalent experience in property management, hospitality, or retail
• At least two years working in one of those industries, with real exposure to budgets and P&L
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort with industry software, Yardi preferred
• A Florida real estate license, or a willingness to obtain one within 90 days of hire
• A genuine aptitude for sales, not just a tolerance for it

The salary range for this role runs from $55,000 to $59,000, with additional bonus opportunities. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

One thing worth noting about the APM role specifically: it's one of the cleaner stepping stones in residential property management. APMs who develop strong financial fluency alongside their people skills tend to move into Property Manager roles faster than those who stay purely on the leasing side. The delinquency and budget exposure you get here translates directly to what's expected at the next level.

What separates strong candidates from average ones in this role isn't charm or sales energy. It's the ability to stay organized under pressure while managing multiple priorities that all feel urgent at the same time. Miami is a high-traffic rental market with competitive lease-up conditions, which means the pace here is real and the expectations for resident experience are high.
