Community association manager

For the job position related to building and managing (online) communities, see Social:Online community manager.

A community association manager is a manager of a condominium or homeowners association (including single-family home subdivisions, townhouses, or mixed-use development). The position is frequently confused with a property manager, who deals with individual rental units or a group of rental units, like an apartment complex. The community manager deals with property owners and homeowners.

People with this position are also sometimes called community managers, which is distinct from online community managers.
