About this role
At The Quarry in Fort Collins, you'd manage day-to-day operations for a Class A multifamily community, serving as the primary on-site business leader responsible for occupancy, revenue, and resident satisfaction. This means overseeing financial performance including budgeting and rent collections, leading and developing your team, building resident relationships, coordinating with leasing and maintenance, and ensuring the property meets Thompson Thrift's operational and brand standards. You'll balance competing priorities—driving occupancy and expense control while maintaining service quality and compliance with Fair Housing regulations.
This role suits someone with at least four years of multifamily property management experience, ideally with two or more years as a Community Manager in Class A or luxury communities. You'll need strong financial acumen, leadership skills, proficiency with Microsoft Office and ideally Yardi software, and the ability to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends. A valid driver's license and reliable vehicle are required for market outreach and competitive shopping. The position demands both strategic thinking—analyzing market trends and performance metrics—and hands-on execution, including occasional lifting up to 40 pounds.
Thompson Thrift offers a salary of $78,000 to $83,000 and emphasizes values-driven culture, career development, and work-life support. The role provides real impact on a high-quality multifamily asset and the opportunity to grow within a full-service real estate company operating nationwide.
