The Property Manager role at POAH Communities offers a unique opportunity to lead a high-impact property team while delivering an exceptional living experience to residents. This role involves overseeing a high-rise building known as 8330 On the River, located beautifully on the banks of the Detroit River facing Belle Isle. The property consists of 280 affordable apartments specifically tailored to low-income elderly residents. The building's history is significant; it was part of a portfolio of six properties nearing expiration of their Section 236 rent restrictions. POAH Communities, working in partnership with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), secured the property in 2003 to maintain affordable housing options in the area.

As Property Manager, you will be responsible for leading a dynamic team dedicated to operational excellence and financial performance while fostering inclusive, supportive environments for residents.

Building strong relationships with residents and staff members underscores your work, enhancing community trust and satisfaction. The position requires a careful balance of financial acumen, regulatory knowledge, and compassionate leadership to promote stability and growth.

POAH Communities prioritizes employee health and wellness, financial stability, time-off benefits, paid leave, incentives, and professional development opportunities. Competitive salary packages reflect your experience, and the organization provides a supportive environment where diversity and equal opportunity employment are celebrated.
