As a Senior Community Manager at Emerge Living, you will hold operational and financial ownership of a portfolio of two to three communities while maintaining a physical home base at one of them. This is a step beyond single-site management: you will be measured not on the performance of the community where you sit, but on the combined performance of every asset assigned to you.

Your success depends on your ability to lead through others, allocate your own time and attention where the portfolio needs it most, and deliver results at communities you are not standing in every day. You will be responsible for the full financial performance of your portfolio, including budget development, revenue management, expense control, and collections across all assigned communities. You will build, coach, and hold accountable the on-site teams at each property, establishing consistent standards of service, presentation, and execution regardless of asset size, vintage, or market.

Where a single-site manager solves problems personally, you will be expected to build the systems and bench strength that allow each community to run well in your absence. This role requires a highly motivated, results-driven leader with a proven track record in multifamily property management, financial oversight, and team development. You must be comfortable operating with incomplete information, prioritizing ruthlessly across competing demands, and making decisions that optimize the portfolio rather than any one community in isolation.

Your judgment on where to invest capital, marketing spends, and staffing hours will directly shape returns for our investors. Additionally, you will uphold company policies, implement strategic initiatives, and partner closely with the Regional Manager and corporate departments to ensure every community in your portfolio operates effectively. Your proactive approach to problem-solving, your ability to navigate complex resident and personnel matters, and your commitment to continuous improvement will be essential to the integrity and success of the portfolio you lead.

• You will be assigned a portfolio of two to three communities. Portfolio composition is determined by the Regional Manager and may be adjusted as business needs change, including the addition, removal, or substitution of assets.
• You will be housed at one designated home community, where you maintain your primary office and day-to-day presence. Your home community assignment does not narrow your accountability.
• You are financially responsible for every community in your portfolio, including those where another team member handles daily on-site operations.
• You are expected to be physically present at each community in your portfolio on a regular, predictable cadence established with your Regional Manager, and to be reachable and responsive to all sites during business hours and for urgent matters outside them.
• Depending on portfolio size and staffing model, you may have Community Managers, Assistant Managers, Leasing Professionals, and Maintenance team members reporting to you directly or indirectly across multiple locations.

• Own the financial results of the entire portfolio, not the sum of individual site efforts. You are accountable for combined portfolio performance against budget.
• Develop, defend, and manage the annual operating budget for each community in the portfolio, and reforecast as conditions change.
• Review financial statements monthly for every asset, explain variances to the Regional Manager, and put corrective action plans in place where results trail budget.
• Set and adjust rental rates, concessions, and renewal strategy across the portfolio to maximize combined revenue rather than optimizing any single community in isolation.
• Control payroll, contract services, turnover, and other controllable expenses across all assigned communities, and approve site-level spending within your delegated authority.
• Oversee collections, delinquency management, and legal proceedings at each community, holding site teams to consistent standards and timelines.
• Direct capital and value-add project spending in coordination with the Regional Manager and asset management, sequencing work across the portfolio for the best combined…
