Position Title: Divisional Vice President, Community Operations
Location: Remote
Compensation: $145,000-$165,000 base salary, executive bonus opportunity, and long-term incentive participation
 

About the Firm
52TEN is an established private investment firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona, specializing in the acquisition and repositioning of manufactured housing communities.  With a clear and ambitious growth plan, we aim to expand our portfolio of 3+ star communities from 15 to 40 over the next three years.  As one of the top 100 community owners in America, 52TEN is recognized for its innovative approach and commitment to delivering The Best Experience in the industry.

About the Role
The Divisional Vice President, Community Operations is responsible for the overall performance, scalability, and day-to-day execution of 52TEN’s growing portfolio of manufactured housing communities. This leader manages a team of Community Managers and District Managers who oversee our communities and their on-site teams. In the first 12–18 months, the primary focus will be building and strengthening the property operations division—refining systems, coaching teams, and ensuring operational consistency across the portfolio. As the company continues to grow, adding communities and scaling from 30 to 75 team members over the next three years, this role will evolve to become increasingly strategic, with greater emphasis on infrastructure development, cross-functional leadership, and long-term portfolio optimization. Success in this is defined by growing property-level NOI, executing CapEx plans with excellence, developing operational talent, and building the foundation for scalable, high-performing operations—all while staying aligned with 52TEN’s values and culture.
