JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

The Client Portfolio Maintenance Senior Manager leads maintenance operations across an assigned client portfolio, ensuring delivery to Greystar standards, and serves as Greystar's maintenance point of contact for client communication. This position is focused on accountability at the property level. The Sr. Manager helps each property set up the required programs, coaches the team, reviews each critical component, and ensures accountability by providing data details to the client in a monthly property report.

The Sr. Manager leads through monitoring data, providing performance analysis, mentoring teams and accountability. Site visits are driven by need, such as declining rating, repeated PM misses, an open critical life safety item, a new Service Supervisor, a large claim, capital or warranty verification, or a client request.

JOB DESCRIPTION

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Oversight. The client portfolio maintenance manager will work between the client needs, the regional maintenance technical expectations and compliance and the onsite execution. Creating a strong relationship with the Community manager and Regional Property manager in parallel with the maintenance leadership team will create the structure necessary to drive accountability onsite while incorporating the technical and compliance needs of the client and real estate. Regular meetings with each of the stake holders to communicate and escalate.
• Monthly property reporting. Produce a monthly report for assigned properties and a portfolio roll-up; this is the primary deliverable of the role. Each report covers a scorecard with month-over-month change, preventive maintenance, inspections and life safety, work order metrics, capital needs, vendors and warranty, claims and escalations, and site visits, including an action plan for priorities.
• Performance accountability. Review each critical component monthly with each Service Supervisor and quarterly with the Regional Maintenance Manager or as needed based on severity. Include an action plan.
• Program setup and coaching. Help each property build the required programs (annual scheduled maintenance calendar, inspection protocols and tracking tools), including loading the calendar where applicable, and coach the Service team.
• Preventive maintenance and audits. Audit completion records against the annual scheduled maintenance calendar. Report PMs planned, completed and compliance.
• Compliance, inspections and life safety. Keep the inspection calendar in HappyCo, follow up on overdue items, verify corrective actions, and confirm emergency plans are current with Greystar Safety Standards. Report inspections compliance, and flag critical items immediately.
• Capital needs. Track identified needs through the year with the Service Supervisor and Regional Maintenance Manager, maintain a capital needs log (priority, recommendation and status), and route recommendations to Construction teams and the client.
• Warranty, closeout and documents. Set expectations, provide tools and hold supervisors accountable for capturing warranty (for example, roof re-inspections, Whirlpool and Carrier parts claims). Track expirations, claims filed and recovered, and documentation gaps.
• Vendors and bid. Inventory vendor agreements and track. Review exceptions from bid audits run by the Service Supervisor and escalate vendor performance issues.
• Issues, escalations and claims. Serve as the escalation point above the Service Supervisor and as the client’s single maintenance contact, working with the Community Manager, Regional Property Manager, Regional Maintenance Manager, Construction Services, Safety, Risk and Utility Services. Maintain an open issues log with aging, coordinate large claims with Greystar Risk, and close the loop with the client on items needing a decision.
• Work order data and CMMS standards. Audit work order data quality (volume, completion time, aging and repeat issues) and coach the team on CMMS standards.
• Client partnership and deal support. Regular communication with client and carry client priorities to Greystar teams. Provide feedback on acquisitions, support due diligence, PCAs and underwriting in an advisory role while the PCA team leads.
