Property Manager

At John Boner Neighborhood Centers (JBNC), housing is about more than managing properties—it is about creating stability, building relationships, and connecting neighbors with opportunities to thrive.

We are seeking a Property Manager to join our Housing Opportunities team and oversee the day-to-day management and leasing of JBNC properties. This full-time, exempt position combines traditional property management with a community-focused approach, making it a great opportunity for someone who understands affordable housing and enjoys building strong relationships with residents.

As Property Manager, you'll oversee the full resident and property management experience—from applications, screening, and leasing through rent collection, recertifications, compliance, and move-outs.

You'll work directly with residents while collaborating with JBNC's Financial Coaches, support teams, maintenance staff, and other community partners. The role requires someone who can balance resident relationships, regulatory requirements, financial responsibilities, and property operations while applying policies consistently and equitably.

A typical day may begin by responding to prospective residents, reviewing housing applications, or showing an available unit. Later, you might meet with a resident to complete documentation, discuss a payment plan, coordinate a maintenance request, or prepare paperwork for an upcoming recertification.

You may also inspect a unit, process rent or fees, collaborate with JBNC support staff, review compliance documentation, or follow up on a vacant unit that needs to be prepared for its next resident. Because JBNC manages multiple properties, you'll regularly travel between locations as part of your work.
