Portfolio Business and Operations Manager

Equal parts property expert and operator, ready to travel where you're needed most? Prime Group is looking for a Portfolio Business and Operations Manager to run the day-to-day at four assigned communities while providing hands-on, corporate-level support across our multifamily portfolio — stabilizing sites, covering gaps, and keeping policy and reporting consistent coast to coast.

Job Summary

The Portfolio Business and Operations Manager combines hands-on, site-level business management with corporate-level administrative oversight across the multifamily portfolio.

This is a traveling position. The Portfolio Business and Operations Manager travels routinely between assigned properties and is deployed to other entities on either coast as needed to provide corporate-level management support, cover staffing gaps, stabilize underperforming sites, and ensure consistency of policy, procedure, and reporting across the portfolio.
