The Role: Regional Manager
This is a true senior leadership role overseeing a portfolio of mixed-income communities with layered financing.
You will have real authority over site teams, direct influence over compliance outcomes, and a seat at the table with executive leadership. You are not just "keeping properties afloat" — you are setting the standard for how affordable housing is run.
Core Responsibilities
Portfolio & People Leadership
- Lead, coach, and hold accountable Property Managers and site teams across a regional affordable portfolio
- Build strong bench strength and reduce burnout through clarity, structure, and support
- Partner closely with maintenance, compliance, accounting, and centralized operations
Operational & Financial Execution
- Drive occupancy, collections, delinquency reduction, and unit turns
- Review budgets, forecasts, and variances with real operational insight
- Balance compliance rigor with practical, resident-focused operations
Owner, Investor & Agency Interface
- Represent Arboreal with owners, asset managers, lenders, and housing agencies
- Translate complexity into confidence — internally and externally
Systems & Scale
- Help refine SOPs, training, and standards as the platform grows
- Support acquisitions, lease-ups, and transitions of affordable assets
Who Thrives Here
This role is for someone who:
- Wants structure, support, and seriousness — not heroics
- Is comfortable leading strong Property Managers and holding the line on standards
- Believes affordable housing should be run with the same rigor as market-rate (or better)
Required Experience
- 7+ years in multifamily property management
- Multi-property or regional leadership experience

Preferred
- COS / HCCP certifications

- A platform built for people who care about doing this work well
