About the Company

We are an Oakland-based real estate organization with a growing portfolio and an exciting future ahead. Our team is supportive, professional, and committed to making a positive contribution to the communities we serve.

We are looking for a dependable, motivated, and detail-oriented individual to join our team as a Compliance and Project Coordinator. While real estate or property management experience is helpful, it is not required. We are more interested in finding someone who is smart, hardworking, organized, trustworthy, and eager to learn.

The right person will have a positive, can-do attitude and be willing to assist wherever needed. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, coordinating projects, working with different people, and learning about real estate operations.

Position Summary

The Compliance and Project Coordinator supports the company's property compliance, capital improvement projects, and day-to-day operational initiatives.

This position will work closely with the COO, Senior Property Manager, Project Manager, and Property Management team to help keep projects organized, ensure regulatory requirements are met, coordinate with contractors and government agencies, and keep important deadlines and documentation on track.

The ideal candidate does not need to come from property management. We welcome candidates from a variety of professional backgrounds, including real estate, construction, project coordination, administration, accounting, legal, government, or other fields where organization, communication, judgment, and follow-through are important.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong organizational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Good judgment and the ability to solve problems independently.
• A high level of accountability and follow-through.
• A willingness to learn new systems, regulations, and processes.
• Comfort working independently while also being a collaborative team member.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace.
• A college degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
