About Us:
Daisy is building the future of living. As a full-stack, AI-native property management company for HOAs, co-ops, and condos, we're modernizing one of real estate's largest and most fragmented industries. By combining technology with exceptional service, we deliver greater transparency for boards, more efficient operations, and a better resident experience. In just a few years, we've become the 8th largest property management company in NYC, expanded across the tri-state area, and now manage over 5,000 units and $200M+ in building budgets. Backed by strong growth and recent financing, we're entering our next chapter of growth as we expand Daisy's AI-powered operating model nationwide.
Overview:
The Project Manager will lead the day-to-day execution of capital projects across Daisy’s condo and co-op portfolio. This role serves as a key partner to boards, property managers, contractors, and residents - keeping projects on track across scope, schedule, budget, and quality while providing clear communication and guidance throughout the process. You’ll combine strong project management skills with a client-first mindset, helping boards understand their options, identifying risks early, and coordinating the many stakeholders involved in getting complex building projects successfully completed.
What You’ll Do:
- Manage the day-to-day execution of capital projects (e.g., façade/Local Law 11, roofing, boiler, elevator, and interior upgrades)
- Serve as a client-facing point of contact for boards and Daisy internal property managers on assigned projects: attend board meetings, present project updates, answer questions, and help boards understand their options.
- Coordinate with property managers, contractors, and building residents to schedule work, manage access, and keep everyone informed. Prepare project updates and materials for board meetings.
- Build and maintain project schedules, trackers, and budgets. Track invoices, change orders, and payment requisitions against the approved budget.
- Spot schedule, budget, and quality issues early and escalate them to leadership with options for resolving them. Process change requests through the approval workflow.
- Act as the day-to-day point of contact for contractors and vendors on assigned projects.
- Solicit and level bids, gather insurance and permit documentation, and coordinate with engineers, architects, and general contractors from kickoff through closeout.
- Conduct regular site visits to check progress, quality, and safety, and document conditions with photos and notes.
- Keep project records, filings, and documentation current in Daisy’s systems, and write clear weekly status updates for internal stakeholders.
What You Bring:
- You possess 3–5 years of project management or construction coordination experience, ideally within the real estate sector.
- A degree in construction management, real estate, engineering, business, or a related field is preferred. Project Management Professional (PMP), CAPM, or a similar certification is a plus.
- You have hands-on experience coordinating with third parties such as contractors, engineers, and architects. Some exposure to insurance or legal documentation is a plus.
- You are comfortable with project management software and tools and spreadsheets.
- You are a clear, confident communicator who is comfortable in front of boards and residents. You keep clients, contractors, and managers informed, and you follow up until things are closed out.
- You build trust with clients by being responsive, reliable, and straightforward about what’s happening on their projects.
- You have working knowledge of NYC DOB processes and local law requirements (e.g., LL11, LL97, LL152), or you’re eager to learn them quickly.
- You are highly organized and detail-oriented. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- You’re a practical problem solver who uses data and sound judgment to recommend next steps.
- You uphold a client-first mindset and care about the residents who live with the work.
- You are adaptable, proactive, and take the initiative in your role.
- You can juggle several active projects at once and prioritize well.
- You are comfortable in the field, with regular site visits across New York City.
- Condo/co-op property management experience is desirable.
