• Manage all aspects of affordable housing compliance, including RAD, Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs.
• Oversee applicant eligibility, certification, and leasing processes while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
• Partner with ownership, construction, and operational teams to ensure a seamless property opening.
• Utilize Yardi and Elise AI leasing technology to efficiently manage leasing activity and resident communications.

• Ensure exceptional resident service while maintaining company performance standards and operational excellence.

• Excellent leadership, organizational, communication, and analytical skills.
• High school diploma or GED required; Bachelor's degree preferred.
• Must currently live in the Miami market. Relocation assistance is not available.

Why This Opportunity?

• Lead the launch of a landmark 300+ unit affordable housing community.
• Play a key role in a highly visible master-planned development with future phases already planned.
• Work with an ownership group investing heavily in technology, including AI-powered leasing solutions.
