About this role
Fairstead is seeking an Assistant Community Manager to support daily operations at one of its Miami Beach properties, working directly with the Property Manager on compliance, resident services, and financial management. The role sits at the intersection of administrative work and tenant relations—you'll handle lease compliance and recertifications under HUD guidelines, coordinate maintenance requests, manage rent collection and arrears follow-up, and serve as a responsive point of contact for residents navigating questions or complaints. You'll also prepare the property for regulatory reviews (REAC, LIHTC, investor inspections) and oversee lease renewals to maintain occupancy.
The position requires two years of affordable housing or property management experience, along with hands-on familiarity with Yardi, EIV, and RealPage systems. Strong communication skills and customer service orientation are essential, as you'll be fielding calls, emails, and messages daily while balancing competing operational demands. This is an in-office role in Miami Beach suited to someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working within a regulated compliance environment while maintaining a professional demeanor with residents and staff.
Fairstead offers a comprehensive benefits package including employer-paid medical and vision coverage, a 401(k) match, 15 days of PTO plus 12 paid holidays, and additional perks like pet insurance and employee discounts.
