Community Manager

Community Manager – Element Collective

Madison, WI

ACC Management Group is seeking an experienced Community Manager to lead the lease-up and ongoing management of Element Collective, a new 197-unit community in Madison’s University Research Park, opening summer 2027.

• Be part of something new: Element Collective is the first major residential development in University Research Park’s 40-year history, making this a unique opportunity to help establish a brand-new community from the ground up.
• Lease-up leadership: Ideal candidates will have previous lease-up experience and enjoy building a community, establishing strong resident relationships, and driving occupancy from day one.
• Affordable housing expertise: This is a 100% LIHTC, income-averaging community, so LIHTC/Section 42 experience is required.
• Technology: Previous experience with Knock CRM is preferred.
• Community-focused: Element Collective is designed as workforce housing within University Research Park, creating a unique live-work environment near major employers and Madison’s west-side BRT corridor.
• Full-time opportunity: Lead the day-to-day operations of this exciting new community while working closely with residents, ownership, vendors, and the ACC team.

If you’re looking for a lease-up opportunity where you can help build something from the ground up—not simply take over an established property—Element Collective is an opportunity worth exploring.
