Core Responsibilities

1. Operational Leadership

Set operating priorities with the President and translate them into clear responsibilities, practical procedures, and measurable goals.

Make decisions about staffing and operating changes as needs shift. Remove obstacles that slow the team down and coordinate coverage when vacancies disrupt service.

2. People Leadership and Development

Lead Supervisory Community Managers and oversee hiring, staffing, performance management, and employee development across Community Management.

Coach supervisors on developing their managers, addressing performance issues, and handling difficult conversations. Improve onboarding so employees understand their responsibilities and receive consistent guidance.

3. Performance and Process Improvement

Build scorecards and reporting that show where service, staffing, or productivity needs attention. Use those findings to prioritize improvements and evaluate whether changes are working.

Assign clear ownership for implementation and review results with the leaders responsible for the work.

4. Client Experience and Board Relationships

Support supervisors and managers in resolving escalated issues and strengthening relationships with HOA boards.

Identify patterns in board feedback and service issues, then use what you learn to improve how the team communicates and responds.

Required Qualifications

• Experience leading managers or supervisors, including coaching leaders and addressing team performance.
• A record of improving operations in a service business, with examples of changes you led and the results they produced.
• Strong analytical and operational judgment, including the ability to identify patterns, weigh tradeoffs, and make timely decisions with incomplete information.
• Ability to communicate effectively with employees, executives, and clients and translate priorities into clear expectations.

Preferred Qualifications

• HOA management or HOA operations experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience overseeing 25 or more direct and indirect reports.
• Experience developing or improving KPIs, scorecards, or operational reporting and using data to guide staffing, capacity, productivity, or client service decisions.
• Experience leading multiple teams or implementing operational changes in a growing service business with recurring client relationships.
• Relevant degree or industry credentials.

What Success Looks Like

Supervisors resolve more day-to-day issues within their teams. The President can see where executive attention is needed, and communities receive consistent service through staffing changes. Recurring issues lead to improvements the team can put into practice.

How You Lead

You set direction when the path is still taking shape. You make decisions promptly, explain your reasoning directly, and give supervisors room to act. You listen to the people doing the work, build support for changes, and adjust when results show a different approach is needed.
