Business Manager, Property Operations

What This Role Does

Asset Living is a third-party management firm with a national portfolio spanning multifamily, affordable housing, build-to-rent, student housing, and single-family rentals. This Business Manager position sits between regional leadership and site teams, keeping operations tight across a portfolio rather than running a single property. The work is operational and financial in equal measure.

Day to day, you're tracking delinquency, overseeing collections, and making sure move-out charges and timelines hold up under jurisdictional rules. You're monitoring work order completion rates and maintenance follow-through. You're reviewing capex spend against approved budgets and keeping vendor invoices moving through AP without bottlenecks. When legal matters come up, including evictions and lease enforcement, you coordinate with attorneys and keep the process on track.

Occupancy management is also in scope. That means supporting renewal workflows, handling resident escalations, and administering tenant-based voucher programs where applicable. You'll work alongside Regional Portfolio Managers, Community Managers, and leasing staff to hit portfolio KPIs, and you'll analyze operational and financial data to flag trends before they become problems.

What the Role Requires

• At least three years in multifamily property management, operations, or asset management
• Hands-on experience with Yardi, RealPage, MRI, or a comparable platform
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
• Solid grasp of leasing operations, financial controls, and regulatory compliance
• Strong written and verbal communication; bilingual Spanish/English preferred
• High school diploma required; bachelor's degree in Business, Real Estate, or a related field preferred

The posting lists Portland and Seattle as locations, but candidates must reside in Reno, Nevada. Confirm that detail before applying. The Washington pay range is listed at $80,000 to $85,000.

What Sets Strong Candidates Apart

Candidates who do well in roles like this tend to have experience managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions, not just one market. Affordable housing background helps here too, particularly if you've touched tenant-based voucher administration. The volume of financial detail in this role, delinquency tracking, capex reporting, PO-to-invoice matching, rewards people who stay organized under load rather than those who do well in calm conditions. Third-party management adds another layer: you're accountable to both Asset Living's internal standards and individual client expectations, and those don't always align without active effort.
