Assistant Property Manager

The assistant property manager role occupies a specific and underrated position in multifamily operations. It's where leasing competency meets financial accountability for the first time in a career, and companies like Bozzuto use it deliberately to develop people who can eventually run a property on their own. This opening at a Bozzuto community in Waltham puts you at that intersection.

What the Role Actually Covers

Bozzuto is asking for someone who can hold multiple functions at once without losing ground in any of them. On any given day, that means collecting rent, working delinquency, and keeping the financials moving, then shifting into a tour for a prospective resident that feels personal rather than scripted. You'll coach and support team members while also stepping into the property manager seat when they're out. That's not ceremonial coverage. It means knowing the building, the residents, the numbers, and the team well enough to make decisions without backup.

The weekend rotation (one to two weekends per month, with corresponding weekdays off) reflects where leasing traffic actually lives. Prospects shop on Saturdays. Being present for that traffic is part of the job, and it's worth calibrating your expectations accordingly before you apply.

Bozzuto also expects you to handle social media content creation with some real investment, not just posting floor plan photos. If you've built a following or run campaigns for a previous community, that's worth highlighting in your application.

What to Bring and Where This Goes

• Four-year degree or equivalent experience in property management, hospitality, or retail
• At least two years in a client-facing, operations-adjacent role
• Comfort with P&L basics, budget exposure, and revenue concepts
• Yardi experience is preferred; general tech fluency is required
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and genuine sales ability

The salary range for this position is $65,920 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.

From a career trajectory standpoint, strong assistant property managers typically move into property manager roles within two to three years, especially at a firm like Bozzuto that promotes internally. The skills that compound fastest here are delinquency management, team coaching, and tour-to-lease conversion. Those three things, done well and consistently, build a record that translates directly to site manager credibility. If your longer-term goal is running a Class A community or moving into a regional operations role, this is a reasonable on-ramp, provided you treat the financial side of the role with the same seriousness as the resident-facing side.
