Olympus Property has earned the National Apartment Association's Top Employer recognition three years running (2023, 2024, and 2025). That's not a marketing footnote. It reflects something real about how this company operates, and it matters for anyone evaluating where to take their career next.
The Business Manager role at Olympus at Memorial is, in plain terms, the property manager position. You're running the asset. That means owning the financial performance, the team, the resident experience, and the vendor relationships all at once. You'll work directly with Regional Leadership to set strategy, build annual business plans, and analyze monthly performance against budget projections. If you're the kind of person who reads a T-12 the way other people read a news feed, you'll be comfortable here.
Day to day, this role pulls you in a lot of directions. Morning might be a budget conversation with your Regional VP. Afternoon could be a property inspection, a vendor negotiation on a service contract, or coaching a leasing consultant through a difficult prospect interaction. The financial side and the people side don't take turns. They happen simultaneously, and the best candidates for this role don't just tolerate that reality. They're wired for it.
This is a Class A community, and Olympus has a preference for candidates who've managed at that level before. Luxury assets carry specific expectations around curb appeal, amenity presentation, and resident communication. The bar for "market-ready condition" is higher, and so is the resident's willingness to escalate when it isn't met. That's not a reason to be discouraged. It's just the honest context for what you're walking into.
The team you'll lead includes both office and maintenance staff. That cross-functional dynamic is worth thinking about. Strong candidates here don't just manage their leasing team and hand maintenance off to a supervisor. They understand enough about make-ready timelines and punch list quality to have real conversations with their maintenance lead, hold the standard, and back their team up when vendors push back on scope or pricing.
The base pay range is $70,000 to $80,000 annually, with monthly commissions and quarterly and annual bonus eligibility on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, an apartment rental allowance, and a sabbatical program, among others. Olympus also invests in leadership development through their Budget Camp and Leadership Conferences, which matters if you're thinking about where this role leads. Business Managers at companies like Olympus are a natural pipeline for Regional Manager positions, particularly for candidates who demonstrate strong financial acumen alongside team development skills.
If the culture-first language in property management job postings usually makes you skeptical, that's fair. But Olympus builds recognition programs, career pathing, and team events into the actual structure of the job, not just the recruiting copy. Whether that fits how you work is worth thinking through before you apply.
