Parkview Terrace

Community management at a San Diego property draws on a wide range of skills simultaneously. You're reading delinquency reports in the morning, walking units for make-ready punch lists by midday, and handling a resident concern before the afternoon's done. If that kind of operational range suits you, this role at Parkview Terrace is worth a close look.

The Skills This Role Leans On

Sunrise Management is looking for a Community Manager who can hold the financial side and the people side of operations in equal focus. On the financial front, that means owning rent collections, managing delinquent accounts within the requirements of California landlord-tenant law, maintaining bank deposits, and contributing to budget preparation and expense monitoring. The NOI doesn't manage itself, and in California's regulatory environment, every collection action has to be done by the book.

On the leasing and marketing side, you'll be tracking traffic, adjusting pricing based on market conditions, and keeping occupancy healthy through both new leasing activity and retention efforts. Renewals are part of this job, not an afterthought. Fair Housing compliance runs through everything from how you advertise to how you handle a renewal conversation.

Leadership is the third leg of the stool. You'll hire, train, and evaluate on-site staff, which means you need to be comfortable giving direct feedback and resolving operational issues without waiting for someone above you to step in. Inspections of common areas, units, and grounds are your responsibility, and so are move-in and move-out protocols executed with consistency.

What the Day Actually Looks Like

California community managers carry a heavier compliance load than most. Fair Housing, ADA, and state-specific landlord-tenant law aren't background knowledge here. They're active daily considerations. Resident service requests are expected to close within 24 to 48 hours, which means your maintenance coordination has to be tight. Payroll submissions, accurate record-keeping, and accounting procedures all land on your desk too. Property management software proficiency is a baseline requirement, not a bonus.

One honest note: this is a role where the workload doesn't always stay neatly within business hours. Resident concerns, unit issues, and staffing gaps have a way of surfacing at inconvenient times. That's the job. Candidates who've managed a California property before will recognize the rhythm.

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

• Proven experience managing collections and delinquency in California, where the legal process is specific and unforgiving of shortcuts
• Comfort reading the market and making pricing recommendations, not just executing what's handed down
• A track record of building and retaining an on-site team, not just supervising one
• Familiarity with property management software and enough spreadsheet competency to support budget work
• One to two years of property management experience at minimum, with community management experience preferred

Sunrise Management operates with a resident hospitality orientation, so candidates who treat resident relations as a core operational function rather than a distraction from "real" work tend to fit better here. The pay range runs $26 to $28 per hour depending on experience, with medical, dental, vision, FSA, company-paid life insurance, and paid time off rounding out the package.
