Property Manager - 300-500 Units - 175

Managing a 300 to 500 unit asset for an owner-operator is a different job than managing for a third-party fee management shop. When the company owns what you're running, the scrutiny on NOI, delinquency, and capex decisions is real and ongoing. Berkshire Residential Investments operates that way, and the Property Manager role at Soho Parkway reflects it.

What the Role Actually Involves

This is a full-scope property management position. You'll own the financial performance of the asset alongside your Regional Manager, which means budgets, monthly and quarterly forecasts, and capital planning aren't things that happen to you. You build them. You need to understand how an operational call (a concession, a staffing decision, a deferred punch list item) shows up in the financials later. If you can read a T-12 and explain variance, you're already ahead of most applicants.

On the people side, you'll recruit, hire, train, and manage your on-site team. That includes performance reviews and the harder conversations that come with them. Berkshire puts real weight on team development, so if your instinct is to hoard knowledge rather than build the people around you, this probably isn't the right fit.

Resident communication and marketing round out the day-to-day. You'll handle communications on service requests, concerns, and community engagement, and you'll stay active on the promotional and content side. Traffic and occupancy don't manage themselves.

What Berkshire Is Looking For

• Five or more years in multifamily property management
• Demonstrated experience with budgeting and financial reporting
• Comfort with property management software and financial analysis tools
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proven leadership, with the ability to hire and develop a team
• Ability to work effectively with residents and staff from diverse backgrounds

The posting mentions a sense of humor explicitly, which is either a cultural signal or a warning. Probably both.

A Note on What Separates Strong Candidates

We've seen a lot of property managers who can hold occupancy in a stable asset. The ones who stand out at owner-operator companies can also explain why a decision they made in Q2 showed up as favorable variance in Q3. At this unit count, you're large enough that small operational inefficiencies compound fast, but not so large that you can hide behind layers of staff. You're close to the work. The best candidates for this role are comfortable being accountable for both the numbers and the culture on the same day, sometimes before lunch.

Berkshire offers three weeks of vacation, a 25% rent discount, personal development planning, and competitive benefits. The company is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion across all employment practices.
