Community Manager

Hillpointe builds and manages workforce housing across the Sun Belt, and this Community Manager role sits at the center of that operation in Savannah. You'd be running a market-rate property from the ground up on the operational side: occupancy, financials, resident experience, and the daily coordination between maintenance and management. Because Hillpointe handles development, construction, and asset management in-house, community managers here tend to work closely with the broader organization rather than operating in isolation from ownership.

What the Day-to-Day Looks Like

A significant part of this role is keeping the asset performing the way ownership expects. That means regular property walks to catch issues before they become deferred maintenance problems, making sure units are genuinely make-ready standard before a new resident takes possession, and ensuring amenities stay in condition that reflects the property's positioning. You'll also manage accounts payable, submit invoices correctly, and support your Regional Manager in hitting and holding budgeted occupancy and rent levels.

On the leasing and revenue side, you're expected to stay active, not reactive. Identifying additional revenue opportunities, keeping concessions in check, and maintaining traffic conversion are all part of the job. Entrata experience is a real plus here since that's the platform Hillpointe works with, and comfort with spreadsheets and financial reporting is genuinely necessary rather than optional.

• Oversee daily property operations and financial performance against budget
• Coordinate with the Facilities Maintenance Group to address property-level needs
• Manage vendor relationships and ensure proper invoice processing
• Administer leases and maintain compliance with applicable regulations
• Drive occupancy through leasing support, marketing strategy, and resident retention
• Conduct routine property inspections and maintain asset standards

Who Fits This Role Well

Savannah's rental market has grown meaningfully over the past several years, with workforce housing demand driven by a mix of logistics, healthcare, and hospitality employment. Residents at properties like this often have specific expectations around value and responsiveness, and the managers who do well here are the ones who take both seriously. Strong candidates communicate clearly with residents and vendors alike, stay organized across multiple operational tracks at once, and bring genuine comfort with property management software and financial reporting. Prior community management experience gives you a real edge, but the combination of financial literacy, people skills, and operational follow-through matters more than any single credential.

Flexibility and Availability

This role requires a flexible schedule and consistent availability by phone and email outside of approved time off. Some local travel is expected for bank deposits, training, and business needs. Physical access to all areas of the community, including exterior spaces in varying weather, is part of the job. A valid driver's license is required.

For someone who wants to grow in multifamily operations, a vertically integrated developer like Hillpointe offers real exposure to how properties perform from the ownership side, which tends to accelerate the learning curve for managers who pay attention.
