Senior Asset Manager

At Community Development Partners (CDP), we are deeply proud of our track record of providing award-winning solutions to housing. We work every day to achieve our mission of creating life-enhancing affordable housing that transcends the fundamental goal of providing high quality homes by building innovative and sustainable developments with a focus on long-term community engagement. As a mission-driven certified B Corp, we are unique in our field as a for-profit developer that leads with our impact goals. Since our inception in 2012, we have built a portfolio of nearly 3,000 homes with another 1,000 in our pipeline, amounting to over $1.2 billion in total development costs.

Sure, that’s what we do, and we are passionately committed to it, but equally as important is who we are as a team. We believe in forward progress, continuous collaboration, authentic connection, and mixing it all up with a healthy dose of fun. We are a hybrid team, which means you get the best of both worlds – in-person connection and collaboration while in the office, and quiet focus-time while at home. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we offer a full suite of benefits that includes highly subsidized insurance, retirement plan with matching contributions, a sabbatical program, cell phone reimbursement, PTO, and more.

We’re looking for a new Sr. Asset Manager to join our Portland Asset Management team. In this role you will lead a growing portfolio of affordable housing communities, ensuring the portfolio initiatives and performance are in alignment with our mission-based goals. We operate on a hybrid work model, with three days in our Portland, OR office and two days remote each week.

• Proactive collaboration with Development, ensuring alignment and efficiencies that thoughtfully and intentionally manage and mitigate Cap Ex spending.
• Overseeing and monitoring the achievement of benchmarks such as construction completion, qualified occupancy, stabilization, and permanent loan conversion of LIHTC projects.
• Assist in shaping 3rd party property management policies for the CDP portfolio, while guiding and influencing property management in decision-making based on budgets, cash balances, development processes, and business plans.
• Successfully navigate and negotiate conflicting interests between ownership, operations and services.
• Partnering closely with our resident services coordinator to ensure resident and community goals and objectives are met.
• Ensuring compliance for your portfolio by tracking and overseeing management company filings including state, lender, and investor reporting, as well as tax exemptions by non-profit partners.
