The YMCA of Greater New York is here for all New Yorkers — to empower youth, improve health, and strengthen community. Founded in 1852, today the Y serves a diverse population of more than half a million New Yorkers who learn, grow, and thrive through programs and services at our 24 branches. Community is the cornerstone of the Y. Together, we connect active, engaged New Yorkers to build stronger communities.

To help fulfill our mission, we cultivate a culture of learning, leading, and collaboration to enhance community impact. Through our talented staff and “LEAP” career framework (Leadership, Empowerment, Accountability, Personal Growth), we are committed to a people-first approach that fosters trust, inclusion, growth, and development for all. 

The YMCA of Greater New York Association Office is seeking an Assistant Project Manager (Property Management Software).

In doing so, the Properties Department provides expertise, guidance, and technical support to staff for each of our 26 locations. To that end, the Properties Department has recently implemented three software systems that assist with critical elements of day-to-day property management.  These systems include Microsoft SharePoint (used for project tracking and shared documents), Nantum OS (used for energy management), and Asset Essentials (used for work orders and preventative maintenance). The Assistant Project Manager will be responsible for advancing implementation and organization-wide usership of these software systems. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, continuing the development of the Properties Department SharePoint site, analysis of data monitored within Nantum OS and Asset Essentials, the generation of regularly updated performance trackers, and providing troubleshooting assistance for software users.
