SpectrumAM•Austin, TX

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking positive and motivated professionals who want to make a complete career change to property and HOA community management. We do not require prior experience, as our own education company will provide you with an industry-leading education foundation. The initial training will last one year, and you will become an industry expert within three years. You will also have mentors assigned to provide real-life support to advance your skill set. The education in community management will serve you well in future roles in our company or your external career progression. The typical background could be from retail, restaurants, hospitality, administrative roles, department managers, office management, operations, and many more. Candidates typically have 8 to 10 years of professional experience in roles where proactive effort and decisions are required. Developed skills in some of the following areas are helpful: customer services, administration, communication, negotiations, conflict resolution, insurance, budgets, financials, legal matters, and vendor management. In this role, you will develop these current skills and much more. Please think of it as a solid foundation for general business matters and administration. We believe a vibrant culture is based on trust. We are looking for positive and motivated humans who can help us reimagine a vibrant work environment, focused on support, career development, fun, autonomy, and strong human connections among colleagues. We do not hire employees… We hire a work family. While the role is mainly remote, we do believe in being social with each other. Learning is also best achieved in person. A significant amount of time should be expected in the office in the first 6 months to ensure long-term success. The community manager position is the face of our organization! It is a very multifaceted position where you wear many hats. In a nutshell, you are a liaison between the HOA’s board of directors, homeowners, and vendors. You will be required to have an ultimate level of ownership in completing all tasks and projects, be a customer service champion, manage vendor relationships, and operate your portfolio of communities – all while having a positive attitude.
