About this role

Hillpointe, a top-ranked Sun Belt real estate developer, is seeking a Community Manager to oversee day-to-day operations at a market-rate workforce housing property in Columbia. You'd report to the Regional Manager and own the full spectrum of property management—from occupancy and rent targets to resident experience, amenities upkeep, unit turnover, and vendor coordination. The role blends operational execution with creative community building: you'll drive marketing strategies to fill units, maintain the property to like-new standards through regular walks, manage accounts payable, and identify new revenue streams. Success here means balancing financial discipline with the ability to make the community a place people genuinely want to live.

This position requires strong communication skills, proficiency in property management software (Entrata preferred), and comfort with spreadsheets and financial reporting. A high school diploma is the minimum education requirement, though property management experience is preferred. You'll need to be flexible and responsive—available by phone and email outside standard hours, capable of handling routine local travel for bank deposits or training, and comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in variable weather. The role also involves physical demands: accessing all areas of the community and being able to lift up to 20 pounds independently or 50 pounds with assistance. A valid driver's license is required to operate a golf cart on the property.
