About the Role

Katonah Management Services (KMS) is a technology-enabled community association management firm serving more than 70 HOA and condominium communities throughout Westchester County and the surrounding area. We pair responsive, professional management with in-house maintenance and modern operational systems to deliver a higher standard of service to the boards and homeowners we represent.

As a growing, operator-led company, we continue to invest in technology, processes, and people while expanding our portfolio of communities throughout the region. We're looking for a Community Association Manager who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and serving as a trusted resource for Boards, homeowners, and vendors.

The work is fast-paced and varied, requiring strong communication, responsiveness, organization, and the ability to keep multiple priorities moving forward at the same time.

If you enjoy building relationships, thrive in a dynamic environment, and take pride in helping communities succeed, you'll do well in this role.
