Leasing Consultant

Student housing runs on energy, consistency, and genuine connection. This leasing consultant role at Redpoint Wilmington puts all three of those skills to work every single day. The Scion Group calls this position an Experience Team Member, and that title is more accurate than "leasing consultant" in a meaningful way: closing a lease is only part of the job.

Skills This Role Requires on Day One

You'll need real communication ability before you walk in the door. Not just friendliness, but the capacity to read a prospective resident's hesitation, understand the objection underneath it, and respond without sounding scripted. Student housing prospects often bring parents into the conversation, which means you're sometimes selling to two different audiences at once. You'll also need to stay organized under pressure. Package logging, maintenance follow-ups, office opening and closing procedures, and social media engagement can all land on your plate in the same afternoon shift.

• Comfortable giving community and amenity tours to prospects with varied expectations
• Able to document and communicate sales objections clearly to management
• Familiar with social media platforms and capable of engaging authentically, not just posting
• Available during Turn periods, summers, and holidays, which are the highest-traffic seasons in student housing
• Willing to participate in after-hours on-call rotation for lockout situations

Skills This Role Builds Over Time

If you're early in a property management career, this position is one of the better training grounds available. Student housing lease-ups are fast and high-volume. You'll learn how to manage traffic, track objections, and contribute to local marketing strategy in ways that a conventional multifamily leasing role might not expose you to as quickly. The planning and execution of resident engagement events builds event coordination skills that carry into assistant manager and community manager roles later. Working inside a structured system like Scion's also gives you exposure to how national operators standardize culture and process across a large portfolio, which is a transferable skill regardless of where your career goes next.

Student housing has its own rhythm. The academic calendar drives nearly everything: move-in, move-out, occupancy pressure, and renewal urgency all cluster around predictable windows. Understanding that rhythm early in your career gives you a framework for thinking about leasing strategy that's genuinely useful across property types.

What Makes Strong Candidates Stand Out Here

The candidates who thrive in this role aren't necessarily the most polished. They're the ones who stay consistent when the environment shifts quickly, who follow up without being reminded, and who treat every tour like it matters even on a slow Tuesday. Reliability counts more here than charisma. Scion operates at scale in the student living sector, and they're building teams that can execute a process well, then improve it. If you come in curious about why things work the way they do, and you're willing to share that feedback upward, you'll get noticed.

This position is based at Redpoint Wilmington. Hours include standard business hours plus an on-call rotation. Work authorization in the United States is required; visa sponsorship is not available.
