Community Manager

Havenpark Communities•Chesterfield, MI

About The Position

Havenpark Communities is hiring a Community Manager to lead the full operation of a manufactured home community of 798 homesites. The role is comparable to running a small business: the Community Manager owns community financial results and daily operations, leads a small on-site team, manages vendor relationships, and shapes residents’ day-to-day experience. This on-site role has real decision-making authority and combines financial management, people leadership, leasing, operations, and resident relations. The Community Manager oversees collections and related legal notices, occupancy and leasing, resident home-sale approvals, contractors, community standards, and capital projects. At Selling Community Manager communities, the manager also personally sells a limited number of homes and earns commission on each sale. The work includes difficult conversations about money and, rarely, lawful evictions handled with dignity. The community’s needs may continue on weekends. Havenpark welcomes candidates from property management, sales, the trades, retail and restaurant leadership, small business ownership, and the military. Property management experience and a college degree are not required. The company offers a competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, generous PTO, paid holidays, a 401(k) with a 6% company match, and opportunities to learn and develop. The hiring process typically includes two Zoom conversations completed within two weeks of applying.
