Leasing Consultant

Student housing leasing runs on a cycle unlike any other asset class. You're not managing steady monthly traffic; you're building toward a single renewal and new lease deadline that determines whether the property hits occupancy before the academic year starts. At Alight Fullerton, that cycle is constant, and the Experience Team Member role sits right at the center of it.

Scion is one of the larger purpose-built student housing operators in the country, and this part-time position at their Fullerton property is a ground-level leasing and customer experience role. The title is Experience Team Member, but the work is real leasing work: tours, follow-up, sales conversations, handling objections, and feeding intel back to the management team about what's stalling conversions. You're also the face of the community on social platforms and at resident events, which matters in student housing where peer referrals and Instagram presence actually move traffic.

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like

On a typical shift, you might open the office, walk the clubhouse and amenity spaces to make sure they're presentable, and then run back-to-back tours with prospective residents or their parents. Package logging, maintenance request coordination, and leasing admin fill the gaps. There's an after-hours on-call rotation for lockouts, so flexibility isn't just a preference; it's a real requirement. The role ramps up hard during Turn, the period between leases when units flip for incoming residents, and availability during summers and holidays is expected.

• Conduct property and amenity tours for prospective residents
• Execute leasing and engagement initiatives set by the management team
• Support social media content and community outreach
• Log and retrieve resident packages
• Coordinate maintenance request follow-up
• Assist with office and common area upkeep
• Participate in after-hours lockout rotation as needed

Who Tends to Do Well Here

Candidates who thrive in this role usually have one thing in common: they're genuinely comfortable talking to a wide range of people, from 18-year-old freshmen to skeptical parents co-signing a lease. Strong performers don't wait for traffic to come to them; they're proactive about local marketing ideas and notice when a sales objection keeps coming up, then flag it. Average candidates show up for tours and call it done. Strong ones treat every interaction as a data point.

This is a part-time role paying $17 to $19 per hour in California. It's a solid entry point into property management, and student housing experience specifically transfers well to conventional multifamily leasing roles down the road, particularly for anyone interested in eventually moving into an Assistant Manager or Leasing Manager position at a larger community.
