About The Position

At CAMS we believe in creating a winning team of managers who can work together to provide exceptional service to our clients. The community associate (CA) or “manager in training” position is a full-time, salaried role that immerses newcomers in community management. In the CA role, you will shadow community managers (CMs) within the regional office and begin the educational journey to become a portfolio manager. Our managers are supported by a team of specialists dedicated to assisting the general membership of our communities. Once your level of knowledge and expertise aligns with being able to hold a portfolio of properties, you will be eligible to be promoted to a community manager position.
