Building Equity Management (BEM) is one of Manhattan's fastest-growing boutique property management firms, managing more than 125 multifamily, mixed-use, condominium and cooperative properties comprising over 3,000 apartments throughout New York City, with a primary focus on Manhattan. We are seeking an experienced Senior Property Manager to take ownership of a portfolio consisting primarily of multifamily and mixed-use properties.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants significantly more responsibility and upside than is typically available at a large, corporate property management company. As your portfolio grows and your responsibilities expand, so does your compensation.

Responsibilities

• Manage a portfolio of primarily multifamily and mixed-use properties throughout Manhattan.
• Oversee all day-to-day building operations while providing exceptional service to owners, tenants, commercial occupants, and residents.
• Manage apartment renovations, capital improvement projects, and major building repairs from planning through completion.
• Coordinate vendors, contractors, and building staff to ensure projects are completed on time, on budget, and to a high standard.
• Prepare and manage operating budgets, review financial reports, approve invoices, control operating expenses, and identify opportunities to improve property performance.
• Ensure compliance with NYC housing regulations, building codes, rent stabilization requirements, and other applicable regulatory requirements.
• Build strong relationships with owners, residents, contractors, and vendors.
• Work closely with company leadership on operational strategy and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

• 4–8 years of property management experience managing multifamily and/or mixed-use properties.
• Hands-on experience overseeing apartment renovations and capital improvement projects is required.
• Strong understanding of building operations, preventative maintenance, and physical plant management.
• Demonstrated financial management skills, including budgeting, operating expense oversight, and financial reporting.
• Solid working knowledge of NYC housing regulations and regulatory compliance affecting residential properties.
• Experience using one or more leading property management software platforms.
• Exposure to condominium or cooperative management is a significant plus.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• A self-starter who is comfortable working independently, making decisions, and taking ownership.
• Bachelor's degree from a highly selective or well-regarded four-year college or university is required.

Compensation and Career Growth

• Base salary: $120,000–$140,000, commensurate with experience.
• Compensation growth directly tied to the size and complexity of the portfolio you successfully manage.
• Additional earning potential for candidates holding an active New York real estate salesperson's license through rental brokerage opportunities.
• Exceptional long-term advancement opportunities within one of New York City's fastest-growing boutique management companies.

Why Building Equity Management

We're intentionally different from the large, corporate property management firms.

Our culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative, highly responsive, and refreshingly non-corporate. We don't believe in excessive bureaucracy or layers of management. We hire people who take ownership, solve problems, and genuinely enjoy making buildings run better.

Unlike many larger firms where responsibilities are narrowly defined, our managers are expected to think like owners, make decisions, and take initiative. If you're looking for a role where you can have a meaningful impact on the business—not just your own portfolio—you'll thrive here.

As our company continues to grow, high performers are entrusted with larger portfolios, greater responsibility, leadership opportunities, and increased compensation. Your career advancement is driven by your performance—not by waiting for someone else to retire.

If you hold a New York real estate salesperson's license, you'll also have the opportunity to earn additional income through rental brokerage activity.

Finally, we encourage prospective candidates to read our client reviews on Yelp and Google. We believe our reputation for responsiveness, professionalism, and client service speaks for itself.

• If you're an ambitious property manager looking to accelerate your career with one of New York City's fastest-growing boutique management firms, we'd love to hear from you.
