Description

Westward360 RM (Rental Management) is on a mission to become a national leader in rental management, powered by growth through organic sales and a rapid pace of acquisitions. We’re looking for a highly organized and driven Project Manager to help us scale by ensuring that newly acquired rental companies are seamlessly integrated into the Westward360 RM ecosystem.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love solving complex challenges, and want to play a key role in building the foundation of a growing industry leader—this opportunity is for you.

Westward360 RM is part of the Westward360 family—a leader in Property Management with locations across the map. We manage a diverse portfolio of condo, townhome, and homeowner associations, as well as rental properties ranging from multi-family to single-unit and co-op housing.

What We Offer

  • Highly competitive compensation range: $80,000 – $90,000
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan with employer match
  • Employer-paid short- and long-term disability insurance
  • Generous front-loaded paid time off
  • Remote role with national travel opportunities
  • Dynamic, growth-focused culture

What You’ll Do

As the Project Manager for Rental Acquisitions & Integrations, you’ll oversee the full lifecycle of each acquisition—from the signed Letter of Intent through post-integration stabilization. You’ll ensure that projects run smoothly, deadlines are met, and the experience for our owners, residents, and new teams is exceptional.

  • Coordinate the full onboarding process for each acquisition, managing the transition of accounts, staff, leases, financials, and technology systems.
  • Develop and maintain the Acquisition & Onboarding Playbook to standardize and continuously improve integration processes.
  • Build strong relationships with internal functional leaders (Owner Services, Property Management, Accounting, Maintenance) and the acquired company’s leadership team.
  • Manage multiple concurrent acquisitions, keeping each on track and adapting to unique challenges as they arise.
  • Serve as the main point of contact for data collection, ensuring deadlines and deliverables are met prior to each go-live.
  • Collaborate with Leasing and Compliance to confirm all licenses and registrations are in place for acquired companies.
  • Monitor staff capacity across teams to ensure resources are properly allocated for each acquisition.
  • Provide executive-level reporting on progress, risks, and mitigation plans throughout each integration.

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or related field (advanced degree a plus).
  • 3 years of experience in project management, consulting, or integration. (Rental management or M&A experience is a strong plus.)
  • Demonstrated ability to plan, coordinate, and deliver complex projects on time and within scope.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to influence without authority.
  • A strategic mindset—comfortable zooming out to see the big picture and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.
  • High emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills.
  • Comfortable working in a high-growth, fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly.
