Property Manager

Skills This Role Puts to Work Every Day

This position draws on a specific combination of abilities that not every property manager gets to use at full capacity. You'll need sharp interpersonal instincts, because you're the connective tissue between residents, vendors, maintenance staff, and ownership. You'll need genuine organizational discipline, because managing 94 units across three separate properties means you're always triaging competing priorities. And you'll need real leasing chops, not just the ability to show an apartment, but the ability to read traffic, time concessions correctly, and keep occupancy where it needs to be.

Yardi Voyager proficiency isn't optional here. PMA runs its accounting and operations through it, so candidates who've only touched Yardi at a surface level will feel the gap quickly. If you know how to pull reports, track delinquency, and manage ledgers inside Voyager, that fluency will serve you well from week one.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

Your days will involve property walk-throughs with a real eye toward preventative maintenance. This isn't a clipboard exercise. You're identifying issues before they become work orders, keeping your punch list current, and communicating clearly with your maintenance team about priorities and scheduling. Vendor relationships matter here too. You'll supervise outside contractors, coordinate scheduling, and hold people accountable to timelines.

On the leasing side, you're responsible for marketing the properties and converting prospects. That means knowing your comp set in Long Beach, understanding what motivates a renter to sign, and staying on top of your available units before they sit too long.

This is an on-site role with a provided one-bedroom apartment. On-call availability is part of the deal, as is one weekend day per week. That's the honest reality of residential property management at this level, and it's worth acknowledging upfront. The tradeoff is a stable, full-time position with a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, life insurance with employer contribution, a 401(k) with discretionary company match, disability coverage, and paid time off.

What Makes Someone the Right Fit Here

PMA has been operating in the greater LA area for over 30 years, and they describe themselves as a family-oriented company that encourages an entrepreneurial mindset. That combination means you're expected to take ownership of your properties without waiting for direction on every decision, but you're also joining a team with established processes and genuine investment in its people.

Strong candidates will bring at least three years of conventional multifamily experience and won't need much ramp time on the operational basics. What separates a good hire from a great one in a role like this is usually communication. Not just with residents when there's a problem, but with ownership when the numbers need context, and with your maintenance team when priorities shift mid-week. The ability to stay organized under that kind of multi-directional pressure is what keeps a three-property portfolio running smoothly rather than reactively.
