  · Maintain procedures, calendars, checklists, and reliable source data.

  Systems & Technology Expectations

  · Working knowledge of Yardi is required for assigned property and cross-coverage duties.

  · Strong working knowledge of UKG or comparable payroll system; working knowledge of Sage and Buildertrend expected for assigned accounting work.

  · Advanced daily user, but not the primary system owner or power user.
