Operations & Leasing Support

• Partner with property management teams to support strong day-to-day operations and resident experience.
• Collaborate with leasing teams to refine pricing strategies, evaluate concessions, and guide marketing initiatives.
• Analyze leasing performance, occupancy trends, turnover, and rent collection to ensure targets are met.
• Support execution of capital projects and preventative maintenance strategies in coordination with property teams.
• Review and advise on commercial leases, renewals, and rental escalations to ensure alignment with asset goals.
• Monitor market trends, comparables, and tenant profiles to inform proactive leasing and operational strategies.

Investor Reporting

• Prepare clear, timely reporting packages for internal leadership, board members, and investment partners.
• Participate in asset reviews, investor updates, and strategic planning sessions.
• Support acquisition and disposition efforts through financial analysis, due diligence, and transition planning.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in residential real estate asset management, multifamily operations, or property investment.
• A developed people leadership skill set, or the desire to take on and learn how to lead
• Strong knowledge of residential leasing, property operations, and housing market dynamics.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills;
• Strong experience with property management software (e.g. Yardi)

Who You Are

• A strategic thinker with a hands-on approach - you bring both the big picture and the fine details into focus.
• Experienced in managing a portfolio of assets, balancing financial performance, operational priorities, and stakeholder expectations.
• A clear and confident communicator, skilled at building strong working relationships across departments and with external partners.
• Comfortable with data and financial models, and able to translate numbers into actionable insight.
• Proactive and solution-oriented - you’re energized by solving complex problems and finding new ways to add value.
• Highly organized and able to juggle competing priorities without losing sight of timelines or targets.
• Curious, engaged, and excited to contribute to a growing platform with a strong vision for the future.
• Passionate about real estate and aligned with Chard’s purpose-driven approach to delivering high-quality rental communities.
• Eager to grow your career within a collaborative, performance-focused environment.
