  • Conduct regular meetings with developer representatives to review financial performance, operational needs, homeowner concerns, compliance matters, and upcoming milestones.
  • Act as a knowledgeable management resource to developers establishing new associations or expanding existing communities.
  • Identify opportunities to grow HRW's Developer Services portfolio through existing relationships, industry involvement, referrals, and new business development.
  • Partner with HRW's Business Development team on proposals, presentations, pricing, and onboarding plans for prospective developer clients.
  • Community Association Management
  • Manage a portfolio of communities that remain under developer or declarant control.
  • Lead developer board meetings, annual meetings, homeowner meetings, transition meetings, and community updates.
  • Prepare board packages, management reports, meeting agendas, financial summaries, and operational recommendations.
  • Provide guidance regarding governing documents, association policies, board responsibilities, architectural standards, maintenance obligations, and community operations.
  • Coordinate with association counsel, insurance professionals, accountants, reserve specialists, engineers, and other consultants as needed.
  • Oversee homeowner communications, architectural review processes, compliance matters, maintenance concerns, and vendor performance.
  • Ensure that association records, contracts, resolutions, meeting minutes, owner information, and other documentation are properly maintained.
  • Developer-to-Homeowner Transition
  • Develop and maintain a transition plan for each community based on its governing documents, development progress, and expected turnover requirements.
  • Coordinate the transfer of association records, contracts, financial information, warranties, plans, permits, owner information, and other required materials.
  • Assist with homeowner education, board recruitment, election preparation, and orientation of newly elected homeowner directors.
  • Work with the developer, association counsel, engineers, accountants, and other professionals to support an organized transition process.
  • Help establish realistic homeowner expectations regarding assessments, reserves, maintenance responsibilities, amenities, and community operations.
  • Coordinate the eventual transfer of transitioned communities to an HRW Portfolio Community Manager while maintaining continuity for the board and homeowners.
  • Provide coaching and historical context to the incoming Community Manager during the transition period.
  • Other duties as requested.

Requirements
