Assistant Community Manager

Assistant Community Manager
Kansas City, MO
$30+ / hour

OVERVIEW
A senior housing community (62+) in Kansas City, operating under project-based Section 8, is looking for an Assistant Community Manager. This is a compliance-heavy role at a smaller, close-knit property — a strong fit for someone who already knows HUD paperwork inside and out and enjoys working with an older resident population.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Support the Community Manager in running day-to-day operations for a project-based Section 8 senior community
• Process move-ins and annual/interim recertifications in line with HUD requirements
• Maintain resident files and ensure full compliance with Section 8 and fair housing regulations
• Handle leasing activities including applications, waitlist management, and unit turns
• Build relationships with residents, many of whom have been in the community for years
• Coordinate with maintenance on service requests and unit readiness
• Assist with budgeting, reporting, and rent collection
• Help prepare for and support HUD/management-agent inspections and audits
• Step in for the Community Manager when needed

WHY YOU MATTER
Residents here depend on getting their recertifications and paperwork right, on top of just feeling at home — you're the person making sure both happen.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 2-3+ years of property management experience, with hands-on Project-Based Section 8 experience required — this one's non-negotiable
• Working knowledge of HUD recertification processes and income/asset calculations
• COS (Certified Occupancy Specialist) or similar affordable housing certification a plus
• Comfortable with property management software (Yardi, OneSite, or similar)
• Patient, service-minded approach — this role serves a senior population
• Strong attention to detail on paperwork and compliance
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

THE PERKS!

• $30+/hour
• BCBS health, dental, and vision
• 401(k)
• 10 paid holidays plus 1 floating holiday, PTO
• $2,500 education assistance
