Traveling Property Manager

You're the Property Manager other Property Managers call when things get hard. A property just lost its manager. An MOR is three weeks out and the files aren't ready. A site team needs someone to step in and lead, starting Monday. When that happens at CHS, we'll send you. As our Traveling Property Manager, you'll take over as Property Manager of record at affordable housing communities across our portfolio. You'll steady the site, get it audit-ready, and leave it stronger than you found it. You'll have full Property Manager authority on every assignment and report directly to our Director of Occupancy. Why this role is different - No two assignments are the same. You'll work with HUD, LIHTC, Rural Development, HOME, and layered programs, at different sites, teams, and challenges. - Your impact shows. You'll be the reason an MOR goes well and a vacancy never turns into a crisis. - You're trusted to decide.

The best practices you spot will shape how we operate across the portfolio. Where you'll work Fourteen of our properties are along the Wasatch Front.
