Job Description

About the Opportunity

This is an opportunity for a true NYC Residential Property Manager to join a stable Owner/Operator managing a small, well maintained portfolio of rental assets in prime downtown Manhattan locations. This is not a corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy — the ideal candidate is someone who likes to work independently, take ownership, and manage their portfolio without needing to be micromanaged.

The portfolio is approximately 200 residential units and is in great shape overall — well maintained buildings, stable operations, and ownership that genuinely cares about their assets and residents. Looking for someone proactive, organized, tech savvy, and on top of the day-to-day details that keep a portfolio running smoothly.

About the Company

Our client is a vertically integrated Owner/Operator/Property Management company with a portfolio of distinctive rental properties located throughout sought-after NYC neighborhoods including the West Village, Gramercy, Williamsburg, and other prime downtown locations. The company owns and manages its own assets and offers a collaborative, low-ego environment with a strong culture and long-term growth potential.

• Serve as the internal point person for the portfolio and take ownership of day-to-day operations
• Identify issues proactively and handle matters independently without needing constant direction

• Minimum 5 years of NYC residential property management experience required
• Must have true hands-on experience managing a residential portfolio in NYC
• Tech savvy and comfortable using property management systems/software
• Highly organized with strong follow-through skills
• Independent, proactive, and resourceful
