Fairstead is a purpose-driven real estate firm dedicated to building affordable communities across the country. Headquartered in New York, with offices in Colorado, Florida, and Washington DC, Fairstead owns and manages a portfolio of more than 30,000 apartments, including pipeline, across 28 states. As an integrated owner, operator, and innovator, Fairstead brings development, construction, and property management under one unified platform to deliver high-quality affordable housing that serves our residents at scale.

At Fairstead, we believe affordable housing should be thoughtfully designed, professionally managed, and responsibly operated. We seek to create and preserve housing that serves residents while delivering long-term value to communities, partners, and stakeholders.

Fairstead challenges industry norms through our tech-forward, entrepreneurial approach to affordable housing. In addition to core real estate capabilities, we operate innovative service lines designed to improve resident outcomes, strengthen communities, and drive operational efficiency. We embrace digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and emerging technologies, including AI, to build scalable systems that support sustainable growth, grounded in a culture of entrepreneurship, innovation, partnership, dedication, and integrity.

The Portfolio Support Manager provides flexible, hands-on management support across a regional portfolio. This role is designed to fill operational gaps when a site team is short-staffed due to vacancies, extended leave, new acquisitions, or other transitions.

Reporting to the Director of Portfolio Operations, the Portfolio Support Manager ensures that properties continue to operate smoothly and in accordance with organizational standards, ownership objectives, and regulatory requirements. The role serves as a stabilizer—supporting staff, mentoring teams, reinforcing compliance, and maintaining high levels of service until permanent staffing solutions are in place.
