This position is ideal for a proactive commercial property management leader who wants more than a traditional property management role. The Director will work closely with ownership and senior leadership, help build scalable systems and procedures, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of HRE’s property management platform.
This role is structured with a clear path toward Vice President–level responsibility as the company and portfolio continue to expand.
