Community Association Manager
CWD Group | Seattle, WA | Full-Time | Hybrid (up to 3 days remote after training)
Base salary starting at $75,000/yr DOE + monthly performance incentive/bonus
Why CWD Group?
CWD Group is a privately-held community association management firm based in Seattle, specializing in common ownership interest communities. We’re a team of professionals who take pride in the communities we serve — and we invest in the people who serve them. That means real mentorship, a clear path for credentialing and advancement, and a flexible hybrid work model once you’re up to speed.
The Role
As a Community Association Manager (also titled Business Association Manager internally), you’ll serve as the primary point of contact and strategic advisor for a portfolio of homeowner and condominium associations. You’ll guide boards and committees through the full spectrum of community operations — financial, physical, administrative, and vendor management — applying industry best practices and your own professional judgment to keep communities running smoothly.
This is a relationship-driven, high-autonomy role well suited to someone who is equally comfortable in a board meeting and a maintenance walkthrough.

Financial Management
- Oversee collection of monthly assessments and management of operating expenses, insurance premiums, taxes, and deposits
- Prepare monthly financial analysis and budget-to-actual performance reports for each association
- Collaborate with boards and committees to develop and present annual budgets

Board Advisory & Administration
- Advise boards and committees in accordance with industry best practices and community association management standards
- Assist with bid development, vendor qualification, and contract recommendations for goods and services
- Coordinate contracts for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and other community services
- Support boards in establishing and maintaining preventative maintenance programs
- Draft policies, procedures, and specifications for board review and adoption
- Implement board decisions and serve as the operational point of accountability
- Direct and evaluate the performance of on-site staff and contract personnel
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary starting at $75,000/yr, commensurate with experience
- Monthly performance incentive/bonus opportunity in addition to base
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (employee premium)
- Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)
- 401(k) with employer match
- Paid time off + paid holidays
- Education reimbursement and professional development support
- Voluntary disability and life insurance
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Hybrid schedule: up to 3 days remote per week after initial training period
What We’re Looking For
Required
- High school diploma or GED
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, communicate professionally, and exercise sound judgment independently
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — comfortable advising board members, coordinating with vendors, and corresponding with residents
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook)
- Leadership experience, whether in property management, operations, hospitality, or a comparable field
Preferred
- Prior community or homeowner association management experience
- CMCA, AMS, or PCAM designation (or active pursuit of credentialing)
