Business Manager - The Slate

What You'll Actually Do at The Slate

This is a full-scope property management role. You're running the asset. That means owning the financials, leading the team, keeping occupancy healthy, and making sure the property looks and performs like the Class A community it is. The title is Business Manager, and the name fits. You're not just managing people or processes in isolation. You're connecting both to a bottom line.

Day to day, you'll review financial performance, track rent collections and delinquency, and work with your Regional Manager to analyze budget projections and adjust course when needed. You'll complete annual business plans and budget forecasts, negotiate vendor contracts, and handle the reporting that keeps ownership and regional leadership informed. On the leasing side, you'll oversee renewal programs, resident retention efforts, and marketing execution to keep occupancy where it needs to be.

You'll also manage both office and maintenance staff directly. That means hiring, training, coaching, and occasionally having hard conversations. Make-ready timelines, punch list completion, unit condition before move-in. those things fall under your watch too. Regular property inspections are part of the job, not an occasional task.

And yes, the schedule is primarily Monday through Friday, but flexibility matters here. Resident events happen after hours. Emergencies don't check calendars. That's just honest.

What You Bring

• At least two years of experience managing a multifamily property, with Class A or luxury experience strongly preferred
• Comfort working in RealPage, Knock, or Onesite. Olympus uses these tools operationally, so prior experience saves real ramp-up time
• A track record of reading and acting on financial reports, not just passing them along
• Experience supervising a mixed team of office and maintenance staff
• Confidence bidding and managing vendor contracts and one-time capital projects
• Strong organizational habits. This role involves a lot of moving parts, and the details matter

Context Worth Knowing

Savannah's rental market has grown steadily, driven by population growth, tourism-adjacent demand, and continued interest from out-of-state renters. Managing a luxury property here means competing for a renter who has options and knows it. Your leasing strategy, your team culture, and the physical condition of the asset all show up in your traffic conversion and renewal rates. Strong Business Managers in this market treat concessions carefully and focus on retention before they focus on new leases.

Olympus has been recognized by the National Apartment Association as a top employer for three consecutive years. That kind of consistency usually reflects something real about how regional and home-office leadership actually operate, not just what's written in a values statement. The role comes with a starting salary around $85,000, plus monthly commissions and quarterly and annual bonus eligibility. For someone who performs, the total comp picture is meaningfully higher than base.

The candidates who tend to thrive in Business Manager roles like this one aren't just organized. They're curious about why the numbers look the way they do, and they take ownership of fixing it when something's off. If you've been an assistant manager waiting for your shot, or a property manager at a B-class community ready to step up, this is worth a close look.
