Community Manager

Redstone Residential runs one of the largest third-party student housing platforms in the country, with over 38,000 beds across 20 states. This Community Manager role sits at the top of the site-level org chart for a property in Orem, Utah, reporting directly to a Regional Manager. The compensation lands between $60,000 and $65,000 annually, with a performance bonus opportunity of up to an additional 20%. That's real upside if you know how to run a tight operation.

What You'll Actually Do

This is full P&L ownership at the site level. You're accountable for occupancy, NOI, delinquency, budget adherence, and the day-to-day team that keeps everything moving. Redstone tracks KPIs closely, so expect weekly and monthly reporting cadences up the chain. You'll own the leasing and renewal strategy, which in student housing means you're thinking about lease-up timelines that don't behave like conventional multifamily. You're also coordinating marketing, managing vendor relationships, and handling projects that range from campaigns to construction. The entrepreneurial environment Redstone describes is real: site managers here carry more decision-making weight than you'd find at a typical fee management shop.

Building relationships with campus resources matters in this market. Orem sits adjacent to Utah Valley University, and that proximity shapes both your traffic sources and your resident profile. If you've worked student housing before, you already know that renewals behave differently, concession timing is compressed, and your delinquency patterns shift around semester breaks. If you haven't, that's a meaningful learning curve.

What You Bring

• At least three years in student housing or conventional multifamily property management
• A minimum of two years in a property manager seat with direct P&L responsibility
• Demonstrated experience managing a budget and owning outcomes, not just reporting on them
• A professional presentation that holds up in client-facing situations
• The ability to manage multiple projects under pressure without losing track of the details
• Familiarity with Entrata is a plus, but comfort learning new property management software is the actual requirement
• Experience developing and coaching a site team, including giving constructive feedback that actually sticks

Context Worth Knowing

Redstone is headquartered in Provo and has been growing its conventional portfolio alongside its student housing base. That dual focus means a Community Manager here may benefit from exposure to both asset types, which translates well if you're thinking about where this role leads. Site managers who perform well at operators like Redstone tend to move into multi-site Regional roles, and that path tends to open faster at growing third-party platforms than at larger, more bureaucratic REITs. The performance bonus structure reinforces that: if you drive results, the compensation reflects it.

One honest note: student housing sites run harder during lease-up season than most conventional properties, and the resident base requires a different kind of patience. If that sounds familiar, you'll fit in. If it sounds exhausting, that's useful information too.
