Job Description

Area Manager

Memphis, TN

$105,000–$120,000 / year

OVERVIEW

This property management company is expanding in the Memphis market and needs an Area Manager to lead that growth. You'd oversee three luxury communities (about 800 units combined), each already staffed with its own on-site Community Manager — this is a coaching and oversight role, not a single-site property manager job. You'll split your time across the three communities, supporting the teams on the ground, and report up to a Regional Vice President. This is a strong next step for a Property Manager or Community Manager ready to move into multi-site leadership.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Conduct regular site visits across all three communities, checking in on operations, risk management, and team performance

Lead quarterly property audits at each site

Partner with each Community Manager on performance metrics and coaching

Review monthly financials, run variance analysis, and track NOI and forecasts across the portfolio

Approve expenses and invoices, and give input on annual budgets

Own rent growth and pricing strategy input for the market

Serve as hiring manager for Community Manager openings across the three communities

Provide training and performance management support for Community Managers and their teams

Step in as the escalation point for resident and employee relations issues

WHY YOU MATTER

Nearly 800 units and three teams depend on someone tying the property level to the regional office. You'll make sure each community is hitting its numbers, and give the on-site managers the coaching and backup they need to keep growing.

WHAT IT TAKES

3+ years of residential property management experience with on-site team leadership

1-2 years of multi-site or portfolio-level experience

Comfortable with RealPage, Yardi, or similar property management software

Solid grasp of landlord-tenant law and Fair Housing requirements

Strong financial skills — budgeting, NOI, variance analysis, forecasting

Proven ability to coach and develop on-site teams and managers

Excellent communication skills across multiple stakeholders and sites

Valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly between sites

Comfortable spending roughly half your time on-site across the portfolio rather than based at one community

THE PERKS!

$105,000–$120,000 per year, plus an annual performance incentive program

Complimentary on-site apartment included

Medical, dental, and vision coverage

401(k) with company match

PTO plus 9 paid holidays, with half-day Fridays during designated months

6 weeks of paid parental leave

Tuition reimbursement and paid professional certifications

Mental health and counseling support
