Leasing Consultant (550 Moreland)

Prometheus Real Estate Group has been quietly building one of the Bay Area's most respected apartment portfolios since 1965, and the Leasing Consultant role at their 550 Moreland property in Santa Clara sits right at the center of what makes their operation work: connecting people to a place they'll genuinely call home.

What This Role Actually Looks Like Day to Day

Prometheus calls this position a "Neighbor Ambassador," and that framing tells you something real about the job. It's not a pure sales role. It's not purely administrative. On any given day, you might be walking a prospective resident through an apartment, following up on a rental application, drafting advertising copy, running a market survey, or simply checking in with a current resident who had a maintenance concern. The throughline is people, and your ability to make them feel genuinely taken care of.

The leasing side means guiding future residents through the full process, from that first inquiry call or walk-in visit through signing the rental agreement. The customer service side means existing residents expect to recognize your face and trust your follow-through. The administrative side means you're learning the operational backbone of property management: reports, market comps, lease documentation, and occupancy tracking. It's a lot, and the pace reflects that Santa Clara is a competitive submarket with consistent traffic from the tech sector.

One honest note: weekends are your busiest days, and your schedule reflects that. Your regular days off will fall on weekdays. For some people that's a dealbreaker; for others it's a genuine perk. If you've worked retail, hospitality, or any customer-facing role that runs on a similar schedule, you already know the rhythm.

What Prometheus Is Looking For

• A background in customer service, sales, or marketing (industry doesn't matter as much as the mindset)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, since you're representing the community in every interaction
• Self-direction and creativity when solving problems, without waiting to be told what to do
• Comfort working weekends as part of your regular schedule
• Alignment with a team-oriented culture where people are expected to support each other across the property

Compensation and Growth

The pay range runs from $25.00 to $28.75 per hour, with a $200 incentive per lease signed and a discretionary semi-annual bonus on top. Weekend shifts carry premium pay, and there are additional bonus structures tied to referrals, training, renovations, and lease-up performance. Benefits include fully company-paid medical, vision, and dental coverage for eligible employees and dependents, a 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, paid volunteer time, and tenure-based housing discounts.

From a career standpoint, this role is one of the clearest on-ramps into property management. Leasing Consultants who build strong occupancy track records and develop operational fluency often move into Assistant Manager or Community Manager roles over time. Prometheus operates a vertically integrated platform, which means internal mobility is real. The skills you build here, reading traffic patterns, understanding prospect behavior, managing lease documentation, translate directly into more senior operations roles if that's the direction you want to go.

Prometheus is a Certified B Corporation and a recognized Best Place to Work in the Bay Area. That context matters here because it shapes how the team operates internally, not just how the company presents itself externally.
