Association Manager

Lincoln

**Job Overview** Multiporpoise Management needs a new HOA manager for our growing vacation rental business. It's not often you see the terms "HOA management" and "vacation rentals" in the same sentence, unless a community is trying to ban Airbnbs in their neighborhood. We buck conventions. Multiporpoise is a company focused on short-term rentals that latched onto HOA management first as a side-hustle, then made it one of our core competencies. We follow what's sometimes called the "blue ocean strategy" or "hedgehog concept." We know what we're good at and do better than anyone else: vacation rentals at 1970s-era buildings formerly known as "condotels." You may already be familiar with some of our popular locations, including the Sea Gypsy, D Sands and Surftides Plaza in Lincoln City, as well as Bend Riverside in Central Oregon and The Polynesian Resort in Ocean Shores, Washington. These communities primarily consist of investment properties, or what people generally describe as "Airbnbs." HOA management comes in for the governance of these communities, which are organized as homeowners associations. We are the professionals that carry out their day-to-day operations. We're also the Airbnb hosts that make them all their money. If you're a current or former HOA manager, you might be used to members squawking over parking spaces, the neighbor who doesn't landscape his yard to code, or complains about the dog that's pissing on the rhododendrons. Our communities are different. First, our members all own trophy properties. Second, when they show up at them, they're usually in a good mood because they're on vacation and have a six pack in the fridge. Association manager work is a people-person's job. You'll work with the volunteers who serve on each community's board of directors. Some days you'll manage projects. Others you'll solve problems. One day you might call a landscaper. Some days you'll sit in on board meetings. Others you'll call the dog catcher to snatch the mutt that just crapped in the flower bed. Just kidding! Every day will be a different adventure, every quick question might have a subplot, and staying organized is basically a superpower. There is a tremendous opportunity for you to grow with us. The right person will have an opportunity to become part of our C Suite as we continue to expand. Our owner and founder started Airbnb'ing his parents' single condo at the Sea Gypsy in 2010. Sixteen years later we now manage 290 Airbnbs in seven condo buildings. There are numerous condotels on the West Coast that need our help, and our continued expansion is manifest destiny. Remote work is a possibility, depending on where you live and your experience level. **What We're Looking For** Don't have previous HOA experience? No worries.
