• Build and manage vendor strategies, including performance management, accountability routines, and continuous improvement efforts

• Leverage multiple data sources to identify trends, anticipate risks, and implement proactive solutions that reduce reactive work, environmental impact, and spend

• Drive capital and expense planning, including forecasting, prioritization, and alignment to broader Property Management strategies

• Monitor and manage program financials, proactively identifying risks, trends, and opportunities and communicating to finance and leadership partners

• Develop and implement process improvements that increase efficiency, consistency, compliance, and service quality across the portfolio

• Create and maintain documentation and training tools to support field execution, compliance adherence, and program consistency

• Partner cross-functionally with field teams, HQ, vendors, environmental/regulatory partners, and construction teams to ensure alignment and execution of program priorities

• Execute communication strategies that ensure transparency of compliance status, risks, and performance across stakeholders

• Recommend and implement short- and long-term initiatives that improve asset reliability, environmental impact, compliance outcomes, and total cost of ownership

• Strong project and program management skills with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple initiatives

• Experience managing vendors and driving accountability to performance expectations

• Familiarity with stormwater systems, environmental regulations, and compliance frameworks (e.g., EPA, NPDES)
