LOCATION
This is a hybrid role with an office located at 1122 Broadway, Suite 300, San Diego, CA 92101.
POSITION SUMMARY
The VP of Property Management and Maintenance is a highly visible leadership position, interfacing with a wide array of colleagues and stakeholders, both internally and externally, including senior SDHC executives, the SDHC board, city council, contracted service providers, and more. The position is broad in scope, ensuring no two days are the same. The VP will oversee a diverse property portfolio of more than 2,000 affordable housing units and homes located throughout the City of San Diego. Also covered under the portfolio are SDHC’s corporate headquarters, a class-A office, and mixed-use complex, as well as the city’s homeless response center building, both of which are located in the heart of Downtown San Diego.
The VP will join a growing department of more than 50 experienced professionals, who are working collaboratively to develop and manage housing for low-to-moderate-income San Diegans. Each team member is committed to SDHC’s mission and cares deeply about the work they do. In addition to leading the department and managing a $32 million annual budget, the VP must carefully balance multiple bottom-line objectives, supporting social impact with financial performance. Reporting to and working closely with our Senior Vice President of Housing Finance and Property Management, the VP will manage four Regional Managers and two Facilities Coordinators.
SDHC is one of only 39 original Moving to Work (MTW) agencies, selected from approximately 3,200 public housing authorities across the nation. This special MTW status provides SDHC the flexibility to design and implement innovative, cost-effective approaches to provide Federal housing assistance. The VP will have plenty of growth opportunities, as we look for additional properties to create more affordable housing. SDHC invests heavily in maintaining and improving the properties in its portfolio. All SDHC properties are within San Diego County, so no long-distance travel, other than the occasional professional conference, is required.
