Area Manager

Job Description

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.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• 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

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.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 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
• Steady, calm decision-making and a knack for spotting ways to improve how things run

THE PERKS!

• $100,000–$130,000 per year
• Monthly car allowance for the regional travel
• Performance bonus structure
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• Health Sharing Accounts
• 2 weeks paid vacation (PTO)
