Job summary

Blue Castle Agency is seeking a hands-on regional leader to oversee three market-rate communities across the Triad and Charlotte markets. You’ll own operations, build on-site teams, tighten budgets, and shape performance with ownership backing. There’s room to grow as the company adds two more properties in-house in 6–12 months.

If you enjoy building strong teams and optimizing operations, this is a great fit with real ownership impact and a clear growth trajectory.

Qualifications

• 5 years of multi-site multifamily property management experience.
• Proven track record operating Class B and Class C market-rate assets.
• Real recruiting and team-building chops — you've hired and trained on-site staff before, not just managed people already in place.
• Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and running a property hands-on when needed.
• Strong grasp of budgets, NOI, and variance analysis.
• Working knowledge of landlord-tenant law and Fair Housing requirements.
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly between sites.

Responsibilities

• Take direct operational ownership of three Class B/C market-rate communities, splitting your time across all of them.
• Recruit, hire, and train on-site teams - including bringing on a new Property Manager and coaching them through their first few months.
• Step in and run day-to-day operations hands-on at any site that needs it.
• Spot and act on opportunities to improve performance, tighten budgets, and strengthen team operations across the portfolio.
• Review monthly financials, budgets, and variance reports across all three properties.
• Own rent growth and pricing strategy input for the portfolio.
• Handle resident relations escalations and stay ahead of turnover, leasing, and make-ready timelines.
• Travel regularly between the Triad and Charlotte markets to stay hands-on at each site.
• Take on additional properties as the company grows its in-house portfolio over the next 6-12 months.

Job description

This is a hands-on regional leadership role overseeing three market-rate apartment communities across the Triad and Charlotte markets, a few hours apart by car. You'll have real ownership over how these properties run - building out on-site teams, tightening up operations, and putting your own stamp on the portfolio’s performance. There's also a clear path for growth here: the company plans to bring two more properties in-house over the next 6-12 months, and this role will grow to take them on.

If you like building strong teams and have a sharp eye for where operations can run better, this is a great fit.

WHY YOU MATTER

This portfolio needs someone who builds strong teams and knows how to make operations run better, with real backing from ownership to do it right. It's a chance to put your mark on a growing portfolio and set the standard for how it's managed going forward.
