Director / VP of Property Management
Build the Platform. Lead the Growth. Own the Results.

A growing owner-operator is bringing property management in-house and seeking a high-impact Director or VP of Property Management to build and lead the platform.

The portfolio currently includes ~600 units, with a clear path to scale to 2,000+ units over the next 2–3 years.

This is a true player–coach opportunity for a hands-on operator who wants to build something meaningful — not just inherit an existing structure.

The Opportunity

In the early phase, you will:

• Design and build the internal property management infrastructure (systems, KPIs, SOPs, staffing model)

• Lead the transition from third-party to in-house management

• Directly oversee Property Managers and on-site teams

• Drive operational performance and own portfolio NOI

• Establish reporting standards and financial accountability

As the portfolio scales beyond ~1,000 units, you will:

• Hire and develop Regional Manager(s)

• Transition into a more strategic leadership role

• Build the team and structure to support 2,000+ units

This is an opportunity to run 650 units today and build the platform for 2,000+ tomorrow.

Ideal Background

• Experience scaling a portfolio from ~500–1,000 units to 1,500+

• Proven experience building structure/platforms — not just operating within one

• Full portfolio P&L responsibility

• Strong operational and financial acumen (occupancy, delinquency, expenses, turns)

• Experience reviewing T12s, budgets, and variance analysis

• Background with a growing owner-operator or entrepreneurial firm preferred

• Typically 10+ years of experience at the Regional VP, Director, or VP level of Property Management

Critical Traits

• Entrepreneurial mindset; comfortable building from the ground up

• Willing to be hands-on and “in the weeds” for the first 12–24 months

• Strong communicator across on-site teams, leadership, and ownership

• Proven ability to manage large, multi-site teams with clear accountability

• Strong project management skills in a fast-growth environment

• Clear understanding of the distinction between property management and asset management — and ability to align operations with ownership objectives

This is an opportunity for a builder/operator who wants real ownership, visibility with leadership, and the ability to shape a growing platform from the ground up.
