Portfolio assignments establish accountability but do not create a direct reporting relationship to Regional Managers. The role coordinates information, tracks deadlines, follows up on outstanding items, and escalates matters to the responsible department or leader.

This list of duties and responsibilities is not all-inclusive and may expand based on business needs.

• Collaborate with Executive Administrative Assistants and team members to provide coverage during absences and workload changes.

Organizational Alignment & Accountability:

• Property Administrators track, document, coordinate, and follow up without assuming authority over the underlying business function.
