• Use property management systems, dashboards, market data, KPIs, and performance analytics to identify trends, improve decision-making, and support timely corrective action.

• Monitor occupancy, traffic, lead conversion, renewal performance, delinquency, availability, pricing, concessions, and exposure to ensure leasing strategies support budgeted revenue and market competitiveness.

• Partner with marketing, leasing, and property teams to develop community-specific leasing, digital advertising, outreach, reputation management, and resident engagement strategies.

• Maintain working knowledge of federal, state, and local fair housing, landlord-tenant, accessibility, privacy, employment, safety, and operational compliance requirements applicable to multifamily housing.

• Ensure teams follow company policies, standard operating procedures, leasing criteria, documentation standards, file management expectations, purchasing controls, contract approval processes, and risk management requirements.
