Who You Are

• You have knowledge of Native American history and understand the diversity of local American Indian and Alaska Native communities and the Urban Indian experience. 
• You bring at least three years of experience in real estate asset management, property management, affordable housing, finance, accounting, or a related field. 
• You are comfortable analyzing financial statements, operating budgets, property performance, and other data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities. 
• You understand that successful affordable housing requires more than financial performance-you value resident experience, stable housing, strong partnerships, and culturally responsive service. 
• You are organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple properties, projects, deadlines, and competing priorities without losing sight of the big picture. 
• You are a thoughtful problem-solver who can identify issues, evaluate options, and work collaboratively toward practical solutions. 
• You are comfortable holding external partners accountable while maintaining positive and productive working relationships with property managers, vendors, consultants, lenders, residents, and public agencies. 
• You communicate clearly and professionally and can translate complex financial or operational information into clear reports, recommendations, and presentations. 
• You have experience working in environments with multiple funding sources, lenders, regulatory requirements, or compliance obligations; affordable housing experience is especially valuable. 
• You are proficient in Microsoft Office 365, particularly Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Experience with SharePoint and other collaboration platforms is a plus. 
• Experience working with Native American communities, Tribal governments, or Native-serving organizations is strongly preferred. 

What You'll Do

• Monitor the financial, operational, and physical performance of NAYA's affordable housing and commercial real estate portfolio. 
• Analyze financial statements, budgets, operating results, and performance indicators to identify risks, opportunities, and areas requiring attention. 
• Partner with Finance and property management companies to develop, monitor, and update annual operating and capital budgets. 
• Monitor compliance with regulatory agreements, loan documents, funding requirements, and reporting obligations. 
• Build strong relationships with property management companies and establish clear expectations around performance, accountability, and resident experience. 
• Coordinate with Real Estate, Housing and Stabilization Services, Finance, and other NAYA teams to resolve operational challenges and strengthen portfolio performance. 
• Support occupancy and lease-up efforts by coordinating with property management companies, resident services, service partners, and applicants to connect eligible NAYA clients with available housing. 
• Monitor property conditions and capital needs and coordinate maintenance, repairs, and capital improvement planning. 
• Prepare asset management reports, presentations, meeting materials, and recommendations for NAYA leadership, lenders, investors, and governing bodies. 
• Coordinate procurements and contracts for consultants, vendors, and other professional services supporting the real estate portfolio. 
• Maintain accurate asset management records and documentation while supporting strong systems for long-term portfolio management. 
• Contribute as an active member of the Community Development team and support cross-department collaboration and NAYA's mission to strengthen Native families and communities.
