Overview
At Stanford Management, our mission is to create safe, beautiful, friendly, and engaged living communities that evoke pride and investment from residents and employees alike. For more than 25 years, we’ve provided quality affordable housing for families, seniors, and people with disabilities across Maine and Pennsylvania — and we’re looking for someone who is driven to make that mission real every single day.
As a Property Manager, you’ll lead a portfolio of one to four affordable housing communities — owning the full scope of successful operations. From leasing and rent collection to compliance, budgets, and the care of the physical plant, you keep your properties full, financially sound, inspection-ready, and genuinely welcoming. You’ll supervise a local maintenance and cleaning team and work hand in hand with your Senior Property Manager and a strong, engaged home-office team.
Foundational responsibilities fall into five areas:
- Full - Drive leasing and marketing to keep your properties at 100% occupancy.
- Flush – Collect all rents in full and on time, manage the budget, and protect each property's financial health.
- Flawless – Keep files, certifications, and compliance paperwork inspection-ready at all times.
- Fabulous - Oversee maintenance, turnovers, and annual capital improvements so the physical plant stays at its best.
- Friendly – Create and maintain a safe and welcoming community for residents, staff, and stakeholders.

- Highly self-motivated and able to work autonomously while keeping strong, open communication with your Senior Property Manager and home office
- A skilled leader and independent thinker; a patient, active listener with healthy boundaries
