Community Manager
About The Position
The Community Manager role involves coordination of a wide variety of services to support the property management, occupancy and maintenance needs of one or more designated public housing sites. It also involves functioning as a liaison between HOC and residents, Boards, Resident Associations and contractors. An employee in this class requires knowledge of federal housing regulations and practical knowledge of building maintenance to manage the daily operations of scattered sites. The employee independently selects appropriate methods and alternative courses of action to accomplish the work. This includes planning, organizing and directing preventative maintenance programs, and monitoring performance of contract work. Established guidelines are available to the employee, but procedures must often be modified to handle non-standard situations. The employee's effectiveness has a significant impact on the quality of services provided to residents, and on a wide range of community activities. Personal contacts are individuals and organizations within and outside the Agency to manage programs and services and resolve problems on an on-going basis. The work involves light physical effort, such as walking, bending or lifting light objects, and some exposure to abusive or unpredictable behavior from the public may be encountered.
