About CMGT

CMGT is an HOA and rental management company serving communities throughout the Gulf South. Our work is grounded in three values: Commit, Communicate, and Care.

We commit to providing solutions rather than passing along problems. We communicate through consistent, compassionate conversations that keep Boards and residents informed. We care deeply about building quality relationships and quality communities where residents can thrive.

CMGT is also a technology-forward organization. Our team uses modern systems and AI-enabled tools to improve communication, organization, and service. We value employees who are curious, adaptable, and comfortable learning new technology.

About the Role

As a Community Association Manager, you will oversee a growing portfolio of single-family homeowner associations while serving as the primary advisor and relationship manager to each Board of Directors.

You will guide Boards through operational and financial decisions, coordinate vendors and community projects, monitor property conditions, resolve homeowner concerns, and maintain clear communication among Boards, residents, vendors, and CMGT’s internal teams.

Because CMGT is expanding into a new market, the portfolio will begin on the smaller side and may include full-management, financial-only, and developer-controlled communities. Portfolio size will be determined based on the number of homes, amenities, management structure, and overall complexity of each community.

This role is ideal for a confident, proactive professional who can take ownership, make sound decisions, and keep multiple priorities moving without losing accuracy or follow-through. Success requires an analytical and direct communication style, strong attention to detail, comfort working through changing priorities, and the judgment to create structure when the path forward is not always fully defined.

Work Schedule

• Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• Fully remote work between community visits and meetings
• Regional travel to communities in Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tennessee, and Huntsville, Alabama
• Some evening Board meetings as required
