Property Manager

Skills That Drive This Role

Property management at this level runs on a specific blend of financial literacy, team leadership, and operational awareness. At The Whit and Ridgewood Arches, a combined 164-unit portfolio in Minneapolis, the Property Manager keeps occupancy healthy, delinquency low, and the physical asset in good shape while developing a site team that actually performs. Bigos Management has earned Star Tribune Top Workplace recognition eleven times, which tells you something about how the company treats its people internally. That culture runs both directions: toward employees and toward residents.

The financial side of this role is real. You're managing rent collection, tracking delinquent accounts, working evictions when necessary, and submitting accurate reports to your Regional Manager. You'll do market research using public-facing sources to inform pricing recommendations. If you've ever prepared a T-12 or watched NOI move based on concession decisions, that mindset applies here. You're not just executing tasks. You're thinking about what the numbers mean for the property's overall health.

What You're Actually Managing Day to Day

On the leasing side, you're overseeing activity to keep occupancy maximized. That means watching traffic, understanding what's driving or limiting conversions, and making sure the site is positioned correctly in the market. On the maintenance side, you're building the turn schedule, coordinating make-ready inspections, managing the punch list process, and working with the roving maintenance team on anything beyond routine upkeep. You'll also monitor preventative maintenance programs and regularly walk the property to assess its condition and appearance.

The leadership piece is direct. You supervise site employees, handle coaching and development, and maintain a team environment consistent with Bigos' core values around relationships, quality, and accountability. Fair housing compliance and workplace safety are non-negotiable components of how you operate.

• 3 to 5 years of management experience, with property management preferred
• 1 to 2 years in a Property Manager or supervisory role preferred
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; Yardi experience is a strong plus
• CRM designation preferred
• High school diploma or GED required; degree in property management preferred
• Active real estate licenses are not permitted in this role
• Solid grasp of federal fair housing law and applicable local provisions

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

Minneapolis has a competitive multifamily market with a wide range of product types. Managing two named communities under one umbrella means you're balancing distinct resident profiles and operational rhythms simultaneously. Managers who excel here tend to be detail-oriented on the financial side without losing sight of the resident experience. They know how to coach a team through a high-turn period without letting quality slip. They read delinquency reports early in the month, not at the end. And they document unit conditions thoroughly because it protects the property and keeps the make-ready process efficient.

The pay range runs $65,000 to $75,000. Bigos offers a competitive benefits package that includes 401(k) with employer match, HSA with employer contribution active from the first of the month after hire, ten paid holidays with no waiting period, PTO with rollover, volunteer time off, life insurance, short and long-term disability, educational assistance, an employee assistance program, a rent discount, and a Life Time Fitness membership discount.
