Who is Aimco?
Aimco is a premier Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and the nation's largest publicly traded owner and operator of apartment communities, with assets of $11 billion, serving approximately one million residents throughout the United States . As a leading S&P 500 company with over 25 years of proven performance, Aimco has a unique blend of experience and ingenuity in apartment management, financing and investing in conventional and affordable housing communities.

We are looking for Community Managers.

Community Managers run the show, so to speak. The Community Manager is business leader responsible for the operations, finances, and staffing of a multi-million dollar apartment community as defined by Aimco policies and procedures. Aimco recognizes that the image of an apartment community is in many ways a direct reflection of the integrity and professionalism of the Manager.

A Community Manager is a sales leader. The Community Manager sets the standard on how Leasing Consultants engage prospective and current residents. The Manager trains Leasing Consultants on isolating the needs of prospective residents, addressing those needs with the right apartment homes, and closing the sale. In addition, a great Community Manager models those successful sales techniques on a daily basis.

A Community Manager is a team leader. A successful Manager builds and maintains a team-oriented office environment and encourages the staff to rely on each others’ strengths. Aimco believes that a successful Community Manager motivates, challenges, and delegates, but has the know-how to perform the responsibilities of each team member. The size of a team depends upon the size of the apartment community, but typically a staff will consist of a Community Manager, Assistant Community Manager, Leasing Consultants, and the Service Team.

Finally, a Community Manager is a customer service leader. Being a “people” person is not enough. The ideal candidate must be able to address the concerns of current and prospective residents in a friendly and professional manner. A successful candidate must have strong organizational abilities, follow-up skills, and a great attention to detail.

Are you the right person for the Job?
