• Oversee all operational setup, including systems, vendor relationships, and compliance processes
• Ensure full compliance with Fair Housing, OSHA, and all regulatory requirements
• Partner with construction and ownership teams to manage unit delivery timelines, punch lists, and readiness
• Establish resident experience standards and retention strategies as occupancy stabilizes

What Success Looks Like

• Strong traffic-to-lease conversion ratios
• Effective use of pricing and concessions to maximize revenue
• A fully built, trained, and high-performing onsite team
• Smooth transition from lease-up to stabilized operations
• Strong initial resident satisfaction and retention foundation

Requirements

• Proven experience in multifamily property management, with lease-up experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated success in driving leasing performance in competitive or evolving markets
• Strong financial acumen, including pricing strategy, budgeting, and forecasting
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with changing priorities
• Experience building and developing teams from the ground up
• Strong understanding of Fair Housing and regulatory compliance 
• Proficiency with RealPage and Microsoft Office (Excel skills strongly preferred)
• CAM, CPM, or CAPS designations preferred

Work Environment

• Onsite leadership role with availability during extended leasing hours, including weekends
• Fast-paced, dynamic environment requiring adaptability and hands-on involvement
• Ability to work both indoors and outdoors in varying conditions
• Physical requirements include walking, standing, climbing stairs, and occasional lifting up to 25 lbs
