Compensation: $26.00 – $30.00/hr + Dedicated On-Site Apartment (Rent Credit) & Free Parking upon building opening
Employment Type: ~30 hrs/week (W-2 Non-Exempt, Overtime Eligible)
Location: 1598 University Ave, Berkeley, CA (The U at California)
About the Role:
Victory Property Group is seeking a dependable, organized On-Site Community Coordinator for The U at California, a brand-new 207-unit residential community located on the University Avenue corridor in Berkeley.
This role blends hands-on launch logistics, resident relations, vendor coordination, and active leasing into a unified two-phase position:
Phase 1: Pre-Opening Sprint (December 7, 2026 – Pre-Occupancy Window): ~30 hrs/week, scheduled primarily Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Focus areas include vendor walkthroughs, signage placement, unit completion audits, pre-leasing tours, and move-in coordination. (Hourly pay; no housing benefit applies during Phase 1).
Phase 2: Full On-Site Activation (Target Jan 16, 2027+): ~30 hrs/week across a rotating schedule (including scheduled evening and weekend office coverage, community events, and after-hours emergency response) with mandatory on-site apartment residency.
Employment Commitment
This position is structured as a single, unified two-phase employment pipeline requiring dedicated professional focus. This is a primary employment commitment, not a secondary gig, filler role, or spare-time activity.
We are specifically seeking a committed team member who is dedicated to driving our pre-opening operations locally and seamlessly transitioning into mandatory on-site residency upon building completion. Candidates seeking temporary or project-based work, a "trial-only" period during Phase 1, or those attempting to manage another job, academic fellowship, or inflexible course load during scheduled shifts are not a fit for this role.
Scheduled shift hours require undivided, active attention to on-site leasing, resident engagement, and physical property operations.
Compensation & Comprehensive Living Package:
Base Hourly Wage: $26.00 – $30.00/hour (paid biweekly via direct deposit).
On-Site Apartment: Private apartment home provided under an IWC Wage Order 5 agreement ($931.88/mo statutory rent credit) upon Certificate of Occupancy.
Perks: Dedicated on-site parking stall, high-speed Wi-Fi, and included building utilities (water, trash, sewer).
Total Compensation Value: Estimated annualized value of $55,000 – $62,000 equivalent. (Full-Time 40-hour equivalent package valued at $74,000 – $77,000).
Key Requirements:
Local Presence & Availability: Reliable availability for scheduled ~30-hour weekly shifts and ability to establish primary residency on-site upon Certificate of Occupancy / building completion (targeted mid-January 2027)
Primary Employment Focus: This is a core professional role requiring undivided focus during shifts and emergency responsiveness; not suited for individuals with conflicting daytime academic fellowships or rigid outside work schedules.
Property Management Skills: Prior experience in residential leasing, property operations, or hospitality customer service. Familiarity with Entrata, vendor oversight, and Berkeley Rent Board / Fair Housing guidelines is a strong advantage.
Physical Demands: Walking property grounds across multiple floors, climbing stairs, inspecting units and common spaces, and occasionally lifting or carrying parcels and staging materials up to 25 pounds.
How to Apply:
Email your Resume and Cover Letter to careers@victorypg.com with the subject "On-Site Community Coordinator - [Your Name]" and answer these three screening questions directly in your email:
1. Are you able to commit to ~30 hrs/week (Mon–Fri 10–4 during pre-opening, shifting to rotating shifts, evenings/weekends, and mandatory on-site residency upon building opening)? Do you have any outside fellowships or daytime commitments that conflict?
2. Describe an experience where you coordinated vendors or organized a successful community gathering. How did you ensure the project or event ran smoothly?
3. How do you handle enforcing a community policy or lease rule (e.g., quiet hours, parking violations) while maintaining a positive, professional relationship with the resident?
