Description Join a mission-driven team shaping the future of affordable housing communities in Florida. As a LEASE UP COORDINATOR, you will play a vital role in bringing newly developed communities to life — leading the leasing and operational launch process from the ground up. This dynamic position is ideal for a highly organized, customer-focused professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about creating exceptional resident experiences. Working in compliance with HUD, LIHTC, and affordable housing regulations, you will coordinate every aspect of the lease-up phase. If you are energized by building strong communities, delivering outstanding customer service, and making an immediate impact, we invite you to grow with us. This is a travel-based role supporting new property developments and lease-up operations at multiple locations across the state. Assignments will vary based on business needs and project timelines. Key Duties & Responsibilities Lead daily property operations during lease-up and stabilization phases, ensuring a high level of customer service and resident satisfaction. Serve as the primary liaison between on-site teams, corporate departments, ownership, and business partners, providing timely operational and occupancy updates. Foster a positive community environment through effective resident communication, issue resolution, and engagement initiatives. Oversee leasing office setup and operational readiness, including office systems, utilities, vendor coordination, supplies, and maintenance processes. Coordinate with construction, asset management, and vendor partners to prepare units for occupancy and ensure move-in readiness standards are met. Manage and drive leasing and marketing efforts to achieve occupancy goals and maintain strong relationships with housing agencies and community partners. Ensure compliance with all HUD, LIHTC, and other affordable housing regulations, including accurate lease file processing and regulatory documentation. Streamline applicant and resident communication processes to support efficient qualification and move-in procedures. Recruit, train, supervise, and evaluate on-site staff while promoting company values of customer service, communication, and professionalism. Address employee relations matters in partnership with Human Resources and report liability or community incidents in a timely manner. Requirements Minimum 3 years of experience with LIHTC and affordable housing programs, including new property lease-ups and transition from construction to full operations. Experience managing occupancy goals, leasing strategies, and property marketing initiatives. HCCP certification required. Strong knowledge of Fair Housing and Landlord-Tenant laws. Prior supervisory or team leadership experience preferred. Excellent communication, organization, problem-solving, and multitasking skills. Proficiency with property management software and Microsoft Office programs, including RealPage, OneSite, Excel, Word, and Outlook.
