• Support daily leasing activity, move-ins, move-outs, prospect follow-up, and renewal efforts.
• Analyze market comps and recommend pricing or concessions based on performance and market conditions.

Elevate the Resident Experience

• Set the standard for responsive, professional resident communication and service.
• Address resident concerns and complaints in a timely, fair, and professional manner.
• Support resident events and community-building efforts that strengthen engagement and retention.
• Conduct regular property inspections for cleanliness, curb appeal, safety, maintenance needs, and overall presentation.
• Partner with the maintenance team to support timely apartment turns, work order completion, preventive maintenance, and property needs.
• Communicate property performance, risks, opportunities, and action plans clearly to regional leadership and support teams.
• Ensure operations comply with Fair Housing, ADA requirements, applicable local ordinances, safety standards, and J Street policies.

WHAT YOU BRING

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 3+ years of property management or related multifamily experience; prior team leadership experience strongly preferred.
• Strong leadership, communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.
• Working knowledge of multifamily leasing, resident relations, financial management, and property operations.
• Ability to lead priorities, solve problems, and make sound business decisions in a fast-paced onsite environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with Yardi, OneSite, or similar property-management platforms preferred.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Availability to work weekends and non-traditional hours as required by the community.
