Regional Property Manager

Regional Property Manager – Affordable Housing Portfolio | Metro NYC

An established and growing affordable housing organization is seeking a hands-on, solutions-driven Regional Property Manager to oversee a multifamily portfolio throughout the Metro NYC market. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for an experienced affordable housing professional who understands the complexity of New York City operations and is passionate about building strong teams, improving performance, and creating long-term operational stability.

The ideal candidate is a strong operator who can lead from the front — someone equally comfortable walking properties with superintendents, addressing compliance concerns, improving collections, managing capital projects, and communicating professionally with ownership, investors, and city agencies. This is not a “sit behind the desk and delegate” role. The organization is looking for a leader who can roll up their sleeves, implement accountability, mentor teams, and help establish a stronger culture across the portfolio.

This role is especially well-suited for a bilingual Spanish-speaking professional who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands NYC affordable housing regulations, and wants the opportunity to make a measurable impact within a growing organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day operations across an affordable housing portfolio in the Metro NYC market
• Lead and support Property Managers, Maintenance Supervisors, superintendents, and onsite teams
• Improve operational consistency, accountability, and team performance across properties
• Drive improvements in collections, subsidy administration, and occupancy performance
• Address violations and work proactively to ensure regulatory compliance
• Oversee vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and service performance
• Conduct regular property walks to identify operational, maintenance, and compliance issues
• Partner with ownership, investors, and city agencies while maintaining strong professional communication
• Support and manage capital improvement projects and property upgrades
• Develop training initiatives and operational standards for onsite teams
• Help establish streamlined policies, procedures, and a collaborative company culture

Qualifications

• Minimum 3–5 years of experience as a Regional Property Manager
• Strong affordable housing experience required
• Deep knowledge of:
  • HUD
  • LIHTC
  • 421a
  • NYC rent stabilization
  • NYC housing rules and regulations
• Bilingual Spanish highly preferred
• Proven experience leading operational turnaround initiatives
• Experience managing violations, collections, subsidy processes, and compliance challenges
• Strong leadership presence with a hands-on management style
• Ability to mentor, train, and elevate onsite teams
• Experience overseeing capital projects and vendor management
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Ideal Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will bring a balance of operational expertise, leadership maturity, and hands-on execution. This organization is rebuilding after years of inconsistent leadership and is looking for someone who can quickly assess challenges, implement structure, and create sustainable improvements without disrupting the existing team culture.

The onsite teams are viewed as capable and committed individuals who simply need stronger leadership, training, accountability, and operational direction. This person must be able to identify immediate priorities, improve systems, and lead by example while building trust across the organization.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• Full benefits offered
• Growth opportunity with an expanding affordable housing organization
• High-visibility leadership role with direct operational impact
