Regional Property Manager — Multifamily Turnaround

About the Role

We are hiring a strong multifamily operations leader to take ownership of a Houston-area apartment community and help drive a meaningful operational turnaround.

This is a regional-level role dedicated to one high-priority asset. We are hiring above the traditional property manager level because this community needs stronger operating leadership, direct accountability, and a focused execution plan.

The right person may currently be a Regional Property Manager, Area Manager, District Manager, Senior Property Manager, Community Manager, Asset Operations Manager, or experienced multifamily operator who has successfully improved performance at a challenging apartment community.

This is not a passive oversight role. We are looking for a hands-on leader who can walk the property, inspect vacant units, lead the onsite team, drive leasing performance, improve occupancy, strengthen collections, support maintenance execution, and communicate clearly with ownership.

The Mission

Your mission is to stabilize and improve the performance of a multifamily apartment community in the Houston area.

You will be responsible for improving occupancy, strengthening leasing execution, rebuilding onsite accountability, improving resident experience, supporting maintenance and make-ready performance, and creating a clear operating rhythm at the property level.

This role requires someone who can lead from the front, make practical decisions, identify problems quickly, and follow through until results improve.

• Partner with maintenance and vendors to improve unit turns, work order completion, curb appeal, and resident service
• Manage delinquency, collections, notices, resident communication, renewals, and policy enforcement
• Identify staffing gaps and help build a stronger onsite team
• Create weekly accountability around occupancy, preleasing, applications, move-ins, renewals, delinquency, work orders, and make-ready status
• Communicate clearly with ownership and corporate leadership regarding risks, needs, progress, and recommended actions
• Build and execute a practical 30/60/90-day improvement plan
