About the Role

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Property Management provides strategic leadership and executive oversight of the PCMH/CHC property management portfolio.

Implement standardized ordering, receiving, secure storage, issuance and replenishment procedures, with appropriate approvals and separation of duties.
Establish minimum and maximum stock levels, conduct periodic physical inventories and reconcile discrepancies.
Coordinate inventory budgets and asset reporting with Finance; identify waste and cost-saving opportunities.
Oversee property-related risk assessments, insurance incident reporting, claims documentation and loss-prevention measures.
Implement operational safeguards for rent handling, purchasing, invoices, inventory and asset disposal.
Identify and promptly report suspected fraud, conflicts of interest, unauthorized transactions and significant control weaknesses.

Maintain corrective action plans for audit, inspection, financial and operational findings, with accountable owners, deadlines and documented closure.
Escalate material unresolved deficiencies, repeated compliance failures and significant operational risks to the CEO with recommended solutions.
Ensure prompt, respectful handling of property complaints, repair requests, lease questions and building concerns.
Establish a joint escalation process with the Service Division for tenants at risk of losing housing, accessibility needs, safety issues and complex incidents.
Coordinate resident communications and building access for services, inspections, repairs and emergencies.
