Community Manager

It's 8:45 on a Tuesday and you're already on your second property walk, flagging a burnt-out light in the breezeway and texting the make-ready team about a unit that needs to be turned by Friday. That's the rhythm of this role.

Hillpointe is a fully integrated developer and builder working across the Sun Belt, focused on market-rate workforce housing. They control the full stack: land acquisition, construction, procurement, asset management. That means a Community Manager here isn't inheriting someone else's product. These are new builds, delivered in-house, and the expectation is that they stay that way. Units should look like move-in day every time a new resident walks in. Amenities should hold up. The asset should look and perform like Hillpointe built it yesterday, because they did.

What This Role Covers

You'll report to a Regional Manager and carry the full weight of day-to-day operations at the property level. Occupancy and rent levels are the headline metrics, but the job runs deeper than that. You're coordinating with the Facilities Maintenance Group, managing vendor relationships, keeping accounts payable moving, and doing regular property walks that are less about checking a box and more about protecting asset value. Revenue optimization is part of the job description, and Hillpointe expects you to be actively looking for opportunities, not waiting to be asked.

Lease administration, budget oversight, and technology-driven reporting all fall under your scope. Hillpointe uses Entrata, and proficiency there matters. You'll also need solid spreadsheet skills for financial records and fiscal reporting. This is a hands-on role: you're in the office, you're outside in all weather, and you need to be reachable outside standard hours except during approved time off. That's not a small ask, and it's worth knowing going in.

What Hillpointe Is Looking For

• Prior property management experience, with a preference for candidates who've managed a full-cycle operation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort with legal documents and resident-facing conversations
• Proficiency in property management software, ideally Entrata
• Mathematical competency for budgets, financial records, and percentage-based reporting
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Valid driver's license (including for golf cart use on property)
• Ability to access all parts of the community physically and to lift up to 20 pounds independently
• Compliance with any state or local licensing requirements

One thing worth noting for candidates coming from third-party management backgrounds: Hillpointe's in-house model means you're working closer to ownership than most fee management setups allow. Decisions move faster. Accountability sits closer to the surface. For the right Community Manager, that's the appeal.

The Savannah market has seen consistent multifamily demand, and workforce housing in particular has held up well as Class A rents have stretched affordability limits. A Community Manager who understands how to maintain occupancy without over-relying on concessions will fit this environment well.
