Operational Excellence. We run a concierge-style operation across market-rate, luxury, and affordable communities, blending operational discipline with creative innovation to deliver experiences that go beyond expectations. Our core values guide every decision: Giving Our Personal Best, Intellectual Curiosity, Valuing Relationships, Enthusiasm. We hire people who hold themselves to that standard, and we invest in them.

About the RoleThe Assistant Business Manager is the operational backbone alongside the Business Manager, the person who keeps the community organized, accurate, and running smoothly day to day. You'll own the details that make a community run: turns and vacant-unit readiness, accurate Yardi data, on-time collections, clean files, renewals, and dependable execution. You'll also support leasing and deliver steady, professional service to residents. It's a high-impact seat with a clear runway toward Business Manager. We have two openings right now.

Both are two-community assignments, and they suit different people. Option one: side-by-side communities in RichfieldThese two established communities sit directly next door to each other, just off Highway 62. You will not spend your day in the car. Everything you oversee is within a short walk, so you can stay on top of turns, inspections, files, and resident requests without losing an hour to windshield time. You will work alongside an experienced Business Manager, with room to support additional nearby communities as you grow into the seat.

Ideal if you want a tight, efficient footprint and a well-established operation you can run with real precision. Option two: downtown Shakopee and townhomes in EaganA beautiful apartment community in walkable downtown Shakopee, paired with a townhome community in Eagan. Two different product types, one predictable weekly rhythm. Shakopee puts you steps from restaurants and shops. The Eagan townhomes are a quieter, lower-density operation with a different set of details to master. Ideal if you want to broaden your experience across product types.

The two communities are a drive apart, so reliable transportation between them is part of the role. Tell us which fits you best, or both. Just note your preference in your application.
