Defined Property Management

Be the Face of the Community. Lead Daily Execution. Drive Performance.

At Defined Property Management, we are building a modern property management platform that blends people, process, and technology to deliver exceptional resident experiences and maximize asset performance.

As an On-Site Community Manager, you are the leader on the ground—responsible for the resident experience, property condition, and on-site execution.

You are supported by a centralized POD, including leasing, maintenance coordination, accounting, and admin—so you can stay focused on running the community, not sitting behind a desk.

Why Join Defined Property Management

• Join a modern, fast-scaling organization redefining multifamily operations
• Work within a centralized, tech-enabled operating model
• Clear path for growth and leadership development
• Competitive compensation and performance-driven culture
• Help redefine what great property management looks like

Our Culture

We operate with:

• Clarity
• Culture
• Camaraderie
• Collaborate to win

What Makes This Role Different

You are not buried in paperwork or consumed by administrative tasks.

You are:

• The face of the property and must live on-site (1bed/1bath)
• The operator of the physical asset totaling 250 units
• The driver of resident satisfaction
• The on-site execution arm of a centralized platform

Your POD handles:

• Leasing pipeline, lead management, and application processing
• Work order coordination and dispatch
• Collections and accounting
• Lease administration and renewals

You execute on-site. We power you behind the scenes.

This role is ideal for someone who prefers being in the field, solving problems, and setting the tone for the community every day.
