About The Position

This is not a passive management role. The Property Manager is expected to take ownership of outcomes in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.

Those who succeed will earn trust, autonomy, and the respect that comes from delivering results when it matters most. Are you driven by the desire to build wealth and make a meaningful impact? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, always pushing yourself to grow and improve? Are you looking for an opportunity that challenges you, helps you develop as a leader, and rewards your ambition? The Property Manager (PM) is the on‑site leader responsible for the day‑to‑day operations, financial performance, and resident experience of IRIS Apartments. This role is highly executed‑focused and accountable for driving occupancy, controlling delinquency, managing staff and vendors, and ensuring the property operates in a compliant, professional, and resident‑focused manner.
