Property Manager (FAST Growing Company, Hybrid Role, 60+ Units)

Job Title: Property Manager
Location: Cedar Rapids, IA (Hybrid – Office + Work From Home)
Company: Apex Property Management
Type: Full-Time

About Apex

Apex Property Management is a small, fast-growing team that owns and manages scattered-site apartments and small multifamily across the Cedar Rapids area. We’re not a giant corporate management company. We’re a local group that cares about clean, safe housing, clear communication, and doing what we say we’ll do.

We’re looking for a full-time Property Manager to become the operational backbone of our team.

The Role

This role is a traditional Property Manager role. You’ll sit at the center of residents, owners, vendors, and our internal team, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What makes this unique is:

• This is a hybrid role: enjoy spending time in your own home part time and in the field the other half
• We own the properties we manage: no dealing with several other parties. We're a small team focused on winning.
• Tighter knit: our portfolio consists of just over 60-units in mostly Cedar Rapids

You’ll help:

• Keep the office organized and running smoothly
• Coordinate resident communications and leasing admin
• Support maintenance coordination and follow-up
• Maintain clean data and simple systems in our software

What You’ll Do

Resident & Leasing Support

• Answer resident calls/emails and respond through the portal with clear, professional communication
• Assist with leasing admin: applications, screening, lease prep, renewals, notices
• Schedule showings (with our leasing agents) and track status

Maintenance & Vendor Coordination

• Enter and track maintenance requests in our system
• Communicate with residents and vendors about scheduling and access
• Confirm work completion and update tickets with notes/photos
• Help keep vendor info, insurance, and W‑9s up to date

Office & Ops Admin

• Keep digital records, files, and templates organized and current
• Support owners with simple reports, summaries, and document pulls
• Help improve and document processes so we do things the same way every time
• Handle light bookkeeping/admin tasks tied to property operations (no heavy accounting)

What Success Looks Like

• Residents feel heard and know what’s happening with their issues
• Maintenance tickets move quickly and cleanly from opened → scheduled → completed
• The office, files, and systems feel “on top of it,” not chaotic
• The owners spend more time on strategy and less on chasing details because you’ve got the day-to-day handled

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

• Local to Cedar Rapids / Corridor with reliable transportation
• 2+ years in property management, leasing, or similar real estate admin
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable on phone, email, and text
• Organized and detail‑oriented; you like closing loops and finishing threads
• Tech-comfortable: you can learn property management software, portals, and basic spreadsheets
• Reliable, accountable, and okay working in a small, fast-moving team

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with scattered-site or small multifamily portfolios
• Familiarity with fair housing basics and leasing documentation
• Prior experience coordinating maintenance or vendors

What We Offer

• Full-time role with competitive pay
• Hybrid work: mix of in-field and remote
• Direct access to ownership and a say in how we improve operations
• Chance to grow as we grow our portfolio
