Assistant Liaison Property Management

The hiring organization is a non-profit entity dedicated to cooperative housing, particularly serving the senior citizen community in the Metro Detroit area. This organization manages multiple cooperative housing properties, aiming to provide safe, affordable, and community-oriented living environments for its residents. The focus is on blending property management with strong community support and resident engagement, fostering an atmosphere where residents and volunteers alike can thrive. The non-profit values integrity, ethical conduct, and dedication to service, especially for senior citizens who form the core demographic of their housing operations.

The position offered is for an Assistant Liaison who will support the day-to-day operations of two distinct cooperative housing properties. One property is smaller with approximately 60 to 70 units, and the other is larger, housing between 150 and 200 units. This role is multifaceted, combining property operations, financial oversight, and relationship management. The Assistant Liaison will be instrumental in supporting both the residents—primarily senior citizens—and the volunteer leadership teams that help run these communities.

The role requires independence as well as collaboration, working closely with the regional operations property manager, internal office staff, the Education Department, and property volunteers. While mostly an office-based position, it does involve visiting the properties once or twice weekly to maintain a clear and ongoing connection between management and residents. The position is well-suited for individuals who are caring, outgoing, adaptable, mature, and dependable. It offers meaningful employment within a nonprofit environment focused on enhancing residents' quality of life through cooperative living arrangements.

The Assistant Liaison helps coordinate finances, including budgeting, tracking, and basic financial reporting, utilizing tools such as Yardi for accounting and leasing functions. They also ensure compliance with critical regulatory standards like HUD and Fair Housing, maintaining organized documentation and effective communication. A strong emphasis is placed on professional written interactions, as clear correspondence is vital in managing relationships with residents and leaders.

This role has a semi-flexible schedule, requiring professionalism in business casual dress at properties and allowing more relaxed attire such as jeans in the office. The organization's benefits package reflects its commitment to employee well-being, offering medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, a 401(k) plan with a generous employer match, cell phone stipend, mileage reimbursement, and opportunities for performance reviews and salary increases.

Overall, the Assistant Liaison position is an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about serving senior residents, working in cooperative housing, and contributing to a community-focused nonprofit. It combines administrative responsibility with personal interaction, thus providing a fulfilling career with tangible positive impacts on the community.
