About the Organization

Our client manages an exclusive, resort-style community of over 400 homes designed for active, independent adults aged 55+.

Your Day-to-Day will include:

1. 1. Resident Relations & Community Integration

What Makes You a Great Fit?

• Diplomacy & Conflict Resolution: As the first point of contact for the residents and the primary liaison for the Board, you have the emotional intelligence to listen with empathy yet be firm to uphold community standards and de-escalate tensions.
• Bylaw & Regulatory Compliance: You don’t just follow rules; you master them. You have an eye for detail and can quickly reference exact bylaw wording to provide residents with clear, objective answers.
• Safety & Operations Oversight: You take public safety seriously and are proactive about Health and Safety regulations.
• Professional Autonomy & Escalation: A self-starter with the sound judgment to know when to resolve a situation independently and when to escalate matters to the Executive Committee.
• Organizational Multi-tasking: Highly adaptable and composed under pressure. You can successfully manage competing priorities without losing focus.
• Bookkeeping Proficiency: You are a "numbers person" proficient in QuickBooks and EZ Direct Deposit, with basic bookkeeping experience (AP/AR, bank recs, and HST).
• Technical & Systems Aptitude: Beyond MS Office, you have the aptitude to manage specialized platforms and video surveillance systems to ensure the community remains secure.
