Description

Community Operations Manager

Indigo | Richmond, Texas
 

$75,000-$80,000 annually + Comprehensive Benefits + 16 Paid Holidays

Collaboration. Authenticity. Connection. Balance.

At Cohere, we believe community is the most valuable amenity.

We do more than manage communities-we help create places where people connect, belong, and thrive. By partnering with some of the nation's most innovative master-planned communities, we create places residents are proud to call home and where meaningful relationships flourish.

We're looking for a Community Operations Manager to join our team at Indigo, a thoughtfully designed community in Richmond, Texas.

Indigo is not a typical master-planned community. It is a deliberately designed environment rooted in connection, culture, and a shared vision for how people live alongside one another. Built around the Belonging Framework, Indigo prioritizes relationships, participation, and a sense of place over traditional models of community management.

Residents are highly engaged, expectations are elevated, and the way the community operates is intentional. This is a community where the work goes beyond operations-it requires presence, sound judgment, and the ability to translate vision into everyday experiences.

In this role, you'll oversee essential community operations while building trusted relationships with residents, volunteers, partners, vendors, and other stakeholders. You'll balance governance, financial oversight, project coordination, asset management, and resident service while helping create an environment where people feel seen, valued, and connected.

This is an opportunity to bring operational excellence and meaningful community-building together in a role with visible impact.

If you're an organized, relationship-focused professional who can confidently navigate complex situations while keeping people and purpose at the center of the work, we'd love to meet you.
