Job Description - Area Manager

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)
