Supervisor: Elizabeth Barker, Director of Leasing & Community

Core values:

• We respect and protect all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, ability-levels, sexual orientations, and nationalities.
• Diversity makes us stronger.
• We want residents and tenants to feel like owners and treat their places accordingly.
• We use technology to communicate, facilitate payment, send work requests and generally for everything. We are a tech company masquerading as property managers.
• The Earth is sacred. We strive to make all our buildings as healthy and green as possible through energy efficiency upgrades. Buildings are part of the solution to climate change.
• The customer is always right. Except when they are not. Either way, we treat them with respect, obey all laws and communicate clearly.
• Maine is the best place on Earth and we want to help make it even better.

Compensation: $23-$31/hr based on experience and awesomeness. Can rise above $31 in future years with good performance. All KPM employees use their own vehicles with mileage compensated below federal rates. Paid wage time begins after each employee’s initial commute from their home to a KPM site and ends when they depart their final KPM site for home.

Benefits: Full & part time employees may elect to receive vision and dental insurance coverage. All employees receive workers comp insurance.

Bonuses & Retirement: KPM may offer sporadic bonuses when acquiring new large properties to manage. KPM may offer ownership equity in buildings acquired by Holman Homes. There is currently no company retirement plan, but all employees have access to the Maine State MERIT retirement program.

Location: Position is about half remote work and half in person for showings with frequent weekly/daily travel in Southern and Midcoast Maine- particularly Brunswick, Bath and Topsham. Weekly meetings in the Brunswick area. Employees are responsible for their own transportation, computer, and related travel, phone, internet and telecommuting expenses.

Hours: Approximately 15-30 hours per week, as needed. If the LA demonstrates consistent awesomeness, this position can grow to full time. KPM is currently hiring for several part time positions. Two of these part time positions could be combined into a full time position for an interested candidate with a strong skill set across multiple domains.

Vacation and Sick time: Take what you need while still achieving goals and fulfilling duties on an annual basis. Work with teammates to have duties covered, as needed. Employees accrue paid time off each month at a rate of 1 hour PTO for every 40 hours worked.

• We love highly educated people but good people come from all walks of life.

• Bonus: Skills in social media marketing, web design, content creation and management are a plus but not required.

• We may be biased, but we believe that KPM has the best team in the business. Because we are a small company, everyone pitches in and pinch hits. The ideal candidate for this position will be a great team member who is willing to jump in and help colleagues with a wide array of property management tasks when an urgent need arises.
