What is a Community Associate (Manager in Training) role?

At CAMS we believe in creating a winning team of managers who can work together to provide exceptional service to our clients. The community associate (CA) or “manager in training” position is a full-time, salaried role that immerses newcomers in community management.

In the CA role, you will shadow community managers (CMs) within the regional office and begin the educational journey to become a portfolio manager. Our managers are supported by a team of specialists dedicated to assisting the general membership of our communities. Once your level of knowledge and expertise aligns with being able to hold a portfolio of properties, you will be eligible to be promoted to a community manager position. The timeframe for this transition from CA to CM is anywhere from six months to eighteen months. Your supervisor will work with you to determine when you are ready to transition by hosting check-ins and performance reviews.

What You Will Learn to Do as a Community Associate

What Will the Community Associate Journey Look Like?

CAMS provides training by use of a learning management system and hands-on opportunities. When you start as a CA, you will be exposed to a “learning path” that will walk you through modules related to the industry and the duties you will master. CA’s will also work closely with a mentor or shadow an experienced team member who will provide tangible learning opportunities that connect real working instances to the learning path. CA’s will also be exposed to assisting in different departments, invited to on-site meetings and inspections, and act as administrative assistants to gain insight into how the CM role will operate. Lastly, CAs will attend monthly in-house meetings that act as continued training sessions for community managers.
