Community Association Manager
AmLo Management is a boutique HOA and condo management company serving communities across Washington and Southern California. We manage a focused portfolio of just HOAs and condominium owners associations (COAs). No single-family property management. We are hiring a fully remote Community Association Manager to run a portfolio of homeowner and condominium associations. You will be the primary point of contact for those associations' boards. You will prep the work, run the numbers, and bring one clear recommendation to every decision. On-the-ground needs are covered by our local team, and you will have a small admin team to support you on the miscellaneous tasks and requirements that come with running those associations.
What you will do
- Governance and advisory: Advise boards so their decisions hold up under their governing documents and state law, including Washington's RCW 64.38 (HOA Act) and WUCIOA (RCW 64.90) and California's Davis-Stirling Act. Translate the statute into plain language before you cite it. Boards are volunteers, not attorneys.
- Financial management: Build annual budgets, review monthly financials, and prepare a short narrative on each association's financial standing. Stay on top of assessment collections and reserve planning. Bring the board options with real numbers, side by side.
- Operations and maintenance: Oversee common areas and the vendors who maintain them, from landscaping to drainage. Solicit and compare vendor bids line by line, manage service contracts, and coordinate site inspections through our local field support. Inspect the work, not just the invoice.
- Administrative leadership: Prepare agendas and packets, attend board, annual, and special meetings virtually, including evening sessions, and keep clean records, minutes, and action lists.
- Community relations: Handle resident questions and disputes with a calm, factual response. Enforce the rules the same way for everyone.
Required
- CMCA credential, held and current. This is a hard requirement. Applicants without an active CMCA will not be considered.
- Two or more years managing or directly supporting community associations, HOA or condo.
- US-based, and able to work core business hours in the Pacific time zone. This role is fully remote.
- Working familiarity with how Washington and California associations operate: governing documents, and the basics of RCW 64.38, WUCIOA (RCW 64.90), and the Davis-Stirling Act.
- Able to read and work from association financials: budgets, monthly statements, reserves, and delinquencies.
- Clear, plain written and verbal communication with boards and residents.
- Comfortable in Google Workspace, Vantaca, and common AI tools.
- This is a full-time salaried role. Some evening board meetings and occasional weekend work come with the territory.
Preferred
- AMS credential, or actively working toward it. We cover the coursework and testing costs.
- Vantaca experience specifically.
- A college degree. Preferred, not required.
- Washington or California community association experience specifically.
- Experience across both HOAs and condos, since condo reserves and state statutes add complexity.
- Experience managing associations remotely.
Who fits here
We are looking for a particular temperament, not just a resume.
- Diplomatic. You can deliver hard news and hold a firm line without making an enemy. You critique the option, not the person.
- A natural at trust. You build rapport with boards, residents, and vendors quickly, and you keep it by doing what you said you would.
- Biased toward action. You move problems forward instead of parking them. You would rather bring a recommendation than wait to be asked.
- A self-starter. You own your portfolio without needing to be managed through it.
Salary and benefits
Salary: $68,000 to $84,000 per year, based on experience and credentials.
Benefits:
- Health coverage
- Dental
- Vision
- Retirement plan
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- CMCA renewal covered, plus AMS coursework and testing costs
Schedule: Fully remote, US-based, working core hours in the Pacific time zone.
