About the Position

Are you highly organized, a strong communicator, and someone who enjoys figuring out how to make things work better? Join Elevate Living as an Operations Coordinator (Maintenance Operations) and take ownership of coordinating the people, vendors, and resources that keep our maintenance operations moving.

In this role, you'll work across teams, solve problems in real time, manage competing priorities, and use data and technology to continuously improve how work gets done. You'll play an important role in ensuring maintenance requests and unit-related work are completed efficiently while delivering a great experience for our residents.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is motivated, organized, comfortable taking ownership, and excited to grow their experience in operations and process management.

What You'll Do

Own the Workflow

Coordinate and manage maintenance workflows across our portfolio, helping ensure the right resources are assigned to the right work at the right time. You'll help prioritize service needs, coordinate maintenance technicians and outside vendors, and adjust plans as priorities change.

Keep People Organized and Informed

Communication is a major part of this role. You'll work with maintenance teams, property teams, leadership, and vendors to set expectations, communicate priorities, follow up on outstanding work, and make sure everyone knows what needs to happen next.

You're interested in learning how a growing company operates and want a role where you can build valuable experience in operations, technology, process improvement, and cross-functional leadership.

Qualifications

You don't need to have spent years working in property management to succeed in this role. We're looking for someone with the right combination of organization, communication, initiative, and problem-solving ability.

Our ideal candidate has:

• 0-2 years of professional experience in operations, coordination, project management, logistics, property management, customer service, or a similar fast-paced environment

• Bachelor's degree preferred, but relevant experience and demonstrated ability are equally valued

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously

• A track record of taking ownership and following through on commitments

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with others

• Ability to set expectations and professionally hold vendors and partners accountable

• Comfort learning and working within new technology platforms

• Ability to work through changing priorities and situations where there may not be an established playbook

• Curiosity about how businesses operate and a desire to continuously improve processes

This position does not have direct people-management responsibilities, but you will have significant responsibility for coordinating work, influencing outcomes, and keeping teams and partners aligned.
