Community Manager

Community Manager
Lincoln, NE
$48,000 – $52,000 / year base + performance-based bonuses

OVERVIEW
This is an operational leadership role at a manufactured housing community — not a selling position. Sales and leasing are handled by a dedicated on-site sales team, so you're focused on running the property: your team, the numbers, the residents, and the physical community itself.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead a team of on-site direct reports — coaching, one-on-ones, and performance management across the community


• Partner closely with your community's dedicated sales team, keeping homes ready to show and clearing anything in their way


• Hit monthly and quarterly targets for net operating income, occupancy, and collections


• Own your community's contribution to full occupancy — keep homes and grounds ready to show and route every prospect to the right next step


• Track and protect a positive NOI, managing vendor and staff spending closely


• Keep rent billed accurately and collected on time, executing legal notices and payment agreements when needed


• Keep curb appeal sharp — manage grounds vendors and hit mystery shop standards


• Flag capital project needs and property risks to your Regional VP and coordinate vendor logistics for capital work


• Build a resident experience worth renewing — resolve tickets, keep ledgers accurate, and close out work orders within 48 hours


• Stay compliant with federal and state housing regulations, including Fair Housing standards

WHY YOU MATTER
You're the one holding the whole operation together — the residents who call this community home, the sales team counting on you to keep homes ready to show, and the numbers that prove it's all working.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 3-5+ years of experience in manufactured housing community management and operations


• Experience leading a team of several direct reports


• Comfortable reading and acting on NOI, occupancy, and collections numbers


• Working knowledge of Fair Housing standards and state landlord-tenant law


• Strong vendor management and follow-through on maintenance and capital projects


• A genuine resident-service mindset — you catch a problem before it becomes a complaint


• Experience partnering with a separate sales or leasing team is a plus


• Comfortable handling collections and delinquency conversations directly

THE PERKS!

• Quarterly bonus potential up to $2,500 ($10,000 annual max), tied to NOI and delinquency performance


• Comprehensive health benefits


• Generous PTO and paid holidays


• 401(k) with a 6% company match
