Providence at McDowell | Arizona
Full-Time, Hourly (Non-Exempt) | On-Site
Position Summary
The Assistant Community Manager supports the Community Manager in the day-to-day operation of Providence at McDowell. This role owns the financial side of the office — rent collection, delinquency, resident ledgers, and reporting — while also carrying a leasing and renewal goal and serving as second-in-command when the Community Manager is off-site.
Success in this role looks like clean books, low delinquency, a full property, and residents who feel taken care of.
Key Responsibilities
Financial & Administrative

• Manage the delinquency process end to end: late notices, statutory notices under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, payment plans, resident outreach, and coordination with legal counsel on evictions and writs
• Prepare and review weekly and monthly reports (occupancy, leasing/renewal activity, delinquency, budget variance)
• Assist with invoice coding, purchase orders, and budget tracking
• Complete move-in and move-out accounting, including security deposit dispositions within Arizona's statutory timeframe and damage billing
• Maintain accurate, complete resident files in compliance with company policy and Fair Housing law
Leasing & Marketing
• Carry an individual leasing and renewal goal
• Conduct tours, follow up on leads, and close applications
• Manage the application-to-lease pipeline: income and credit screening, verification, lease generation, and signature collection
• Execute renewal campaigns, rent increases, and resident retention outreach
• Assist with social media content, resident referral programs, outreach events, and competitor market surveys
Resident Relations
• Serve as an escalation point for resident concerns; resolve issues promptly and document outcomes
• Coordinate resident events and community programming
• Support lease violation documentation, notices to cure, and neighbor conflict resolution
• Maintain a visible, approachable presence in the leasing office and throughout the community
Operations & Team Support
• Assist with unit turns: inspections, vendor scheduling, punch walks, and move-in readiness
• Help hire, train, and schedule leasing and office staff
• Assume Community Manager duties in their absence
• Participate in the on-call rotation for after-hours emergencies
• Walk the property regularly to identify curb appeal, safety, and maintenance issues
