Regional Manager

Arboreal is not a traditional property management company. We are a technology-enabled, operator-led platform built specifically to manage complex affordable and mixed-income housing at scale — and to do it better than the status quo. We manage thousands of units across the Pacific Northwest, with a portfolio that is heavily LIHTC, HUD, and deeply regulated. We are growing quickly, and we invest aggressively in systems, compliance rigor, and people. This role exists because affordable housing deserves senior-level operators with real authority — not stretched “firefighters” reacting to audits and crises. If you are an experienced affordable housing leader who: Is tired of broken systems and underpowered support, Wants real backing from ownership and technology, Cares deeply about compliance and operational excellence, ...this role is designed for you. What Makes Arboreal Different We build the platform affordable operators wish they had: Compliance is central, not an afterthought Dedicated compliance leadership, standardized files, proactive audit prep, and clear escalation paths. Technology that actually reduces chaos Proprietary tools for inspections, evictions, reporting, documentation, and workflow — built by operators, not vendors. Centralized support that works Leasing, accounting, legal, and offshore operations teams designed to take pressure off site staff so they can focus on residents and performance. Leadership that understands affordable housing We develop, own, and manage affordable assets ourselves. This is not a third-party platform guessing from the sidelines. We have a culture of accountability and clarity and leadership that backs its people. The Role: Regional Manager This is a true senior leadership role overseeing a portfolio of mixed-income communities with layered financing.
