- Resolve cross-departmental bottlenecks Serve as an escalation and resolution point for client concerns
- Report KPI performance, compliance risk, staffing needs, and growth pipeline to the VPPreferred Qualifications
Open to candidates from outside the CDD/community management industry — strong operations leadership in another multi-site, multi-department, or regulated-services environment is valued as much as sector-specific tenure 8+ years in operations leadership overseeing multiple departments, functions, or business units — property/facilities management, hospitality, healthcare operations, municipal services, utilities, or similar multi-site industries all translate well3–5+ years leading multiple functional leaders or department heads (not just individual managers or single-site supervisors) in a multi-disciplinary operations structure
Experience owning P&L or budget performance across a multi-department or multi-site organization
Demonstrated ability to manage through department heads rather than direct field execution — a true second-layer operating leader
Comfortable serving as a senior escalation point in front of executive leadership, governing boards, or key clients/stakeholders
Comfort operating in a regulated, public-facing, or governance-driven environment; specific experience with Florida Chapter 190 CDD governance (Board of Supervisors relations, public meetings, records/compliance administration) is a strong plus but not required — this can be developed on the job
Preferred / Differentiators
Prior experience specifically managing a CDD services organization with separated functional departments (vs. a generalist property/community manager background)
Experience supporting or partnering with Business Development on new client capture and onboarding process
Experience integrating acquired or newly awarded clients into standardized operating processes
Track record building shared standards/KPIs across previously siloed departments JobFamilyMUDSPayTypeSalary
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
