We're looking for someone who enjoys being in the field, developing people, solving problems, improving operations, and driving financial performance. You'll lead a team of Regional Managers, Area Managers, and Project Managers while partnering closely with executive leadership to help shape the future of a growing organization.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role - You have a strong understanding of property management, operations, and financial performance.
- You know how to develop leaders and build high-performing teams.
- You can make decisions, solve problems, and keep moving forward when challenges arise.
- You are equally comfortable discussing budgets and financial reports as you are walking a property and coaching a manager.
- You have strong communication skills and can build relationships with employees, residents, vendors, owners, and business partners.
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and no two days look exactly the same.
- You are highly organized and understand how to turn strategy into execution.
