Business Manager - Chevy Chase

Full-site accountability in multifamily property management is one of the most complete skill sets this industry produces. A Business Manager touches every operational layer at once: financial performance, team development, resident experience, and physical asset condition. That breadth is both the challenge and the value of the role.

At Olympus Property's Chevy Chase community in Austin, TX, the Business Manager carries full operational responsibility for the property. This means owning the NOI story, not just tracking it. You'll build annual budget forecasts, analyze monthly performance against projections, and present strategies to Regional Leadership when the numbers need attention. Rents, occupancy, delinquency, expenditures, and vendor contract negotiations all fall within your scope. The financial side of this role requires someone who already reads a T-12 with confidence and understands how individual decisions ripple into asset performance over time.

What This Role Requires You to Bring

Olympus expects a minimum of two years of multifamily property management experience at the manager level. That baseline matters because this role doesn't have room for on-the-job orientation in fundamentals. You'll need to arrive knowing how to run a make-ready program, supervise maintenance staff, manage vendor bids, and keep units in market-ready condition without waiting for direction. RealPage, Knock, and Onesite experience is strongly preferred. The schedule is Monday through Friday with hours ranging between 8 AM and 6 PM, and flexibility for after-hours resident events or emergencies is part of the expectation.

• Minimum 2 years of direct property manager experience in multifamily
• Demonstrated ability to manage onsite teams across both office and maintenance functions
• Experience with budget development, financial reporting, and variance analysis
• RealPage/Onesite/Knock proficiency preferred
• Comfort with leasing, renewals, and retention program oversight to protect occupancy
• Vendor management experience, including bidding and contract negotiation

What This Role Builds

Strong Business Managers who spend two or three years in this seat often move into Regional Manager roles, and for good reason. Managing a full asset teaches you to think in terms of portfolio strategy, not just daily operations. You'll sharpen your ability to read the relationship between traffic, concessions, and occupancy trends, which is exactly the lens a regional needs. Olympus supports that progression directly through their Budget Camp and Leadership Conference programs, along with formal career pathing.

The candidates who perform best here tend to be the ones who treat inspection findings and punch lists with the same seriousness as a leasing call. Physical asset condition and financial performance aren't separate concerns. They compound each other, and the managers who recognize that early tend to outperform peers who treat maintenance oversight as a secondary responsibility. Compensation ranges from $75,000 to $85,000 annually, with monthly commissions and quarterly and annual bonus eligibility layered on top. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, and an apartment rental allowance.
