Community Manager - Novo Apartments

It's mid-morning and you're reviewing last night's delinquency report while a leasing consultant walks in with questions about a concession approval. Your maintenance lead texts about a make-ready that's two days behind schedule. This is the rhythm of the Community Manager role at Novo Apartments, a property where operational command and team development happen in the same breath.

What This Role Demands

MG Properties is looking for a Community Manager with recent, direct experience running an apartment community at full operational tempo. This isn't a role where supervisory responsibility is occasional. You'll own the full management cycle: building and developing your onsite team, driving leasing and marketing efforts, maintaining budget integrity, and keeping day-to-day operations running at the standard a well-positioned Mountain View property requires.

The budget component deserves specific attention. You'll be accountable for overseeing expenditures, tracking performance against targets, and making decisions that protect NOI. That means reading financials with confidence and catching variances before they compound. Yardi experience will serve you well here, as the team works within that platform for core property operations.

Mountain View sits in one of the most competitive rental submarkets in the Bay Area. Renters in this corridor have high expectations and real options, so your marketing instincts and ability to convert traffic into signed leases matter as much as your operational discipline. Concession strategy, renewal retention, and occupancy management all fall within your scope.

What You'll Build From Here

This role is a genuine leadership development opportunity, even for someone who already has years of management experience. MG Properties has operated across the Western U.S. for over three decades, and Community Managers at this level often develop toward regional oversight roles as they demonstrate sustained NOI performance and team development results. The company also offers profit sharing, which means your work has a direct line to a financial return beyond your base salary.

What separates strong candidates in this specific role is the ability to develop people while holding operational standards. Many managers can do one or the other well. Novo Apartments needs someone who can train a leasing consultant on closing technique on Monday and present a corrected budget variance to ownership on Wednesday.

Here's a summary of what the position requires and what it offers:

• Recent supervisory experience managing a multifamily apartment community
• Demonstrated skills across marketing, sales, and budget management
• Yardi experience (preferred, not required)
• Valid driver's license and proof of insurance
• Compensation of $105,000 to $110,000 annually, depending on experience
• Monthly and performance-based incentive bonuses, plus company profit sharing
• 401(k) with employer match, full medical/dental/vision, and rental discounts
• Paid time off, holidays, personal days, and paid sick time
