Leasing Consultant

It's a Saturday afternoon in September, move-in weekend is barely behind you, and a prospective resident's parent is standing at the leasing desk asking about availability for next fall. That's the job in miniature: traffic doesn't pause because the turn just finished.

View on 10th is a student housing community in Waco, managed by The Scion Group, one of the larger operators in the student living sector. The role here carries the internal title of Experience Team Member, though leasing consultant is the more familiar label. It covers the full front-of-house operation: touring prospects, executing sales and engagement initiatives, supporting local marketing efforts, and keeping the office and amenity spaces running cleanly day to day. You'll also handle package logging, maintenance request coordination, and after-hours lockout coverage on a rotating basis.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

Student housing runs on a leasing calendar that the conventional multifamily world doesn't quite match. Renewal season starts before most residents have finished their first semester, and the summer turn compresses what feels like a year's worth of make-ready work into a few weeks. The ETM role sits at the intersection of all of it. You're giving tours and closing leases during the academic year, running or supporting resident engagement events, and then shifting into operational support mode when turn arrives. Availability during summer and holidays is a real requirement here, not a footnote.

The social media and community marketing piece is worth noting. Scion puts genuine emphasis on local outreach and resident-facing communication, so comfort with those channels matters. If you've spent time managing an Instagram account or coordinating campus-adjacent partnerships, that background translates directly.

What Scion Is Looking For

• A customer-first mindset that holds up under high traffic and repetitive questions
• Strong verbal and written communication across a diverse resident and parent population
• Flexibility to work business hours plus an after-hours on-call rotation
• Reliability during peak periods, specifically summer and turn
• Comfort working in an environment where priorities shift quickly

Candidates who tend to stand out in student housing leasing are the ones who can read a room quickly. A nervous incoming freshman touring with two parents requires a different approach than a returning resident who already knows the floor plan. That instinct for adjusting your pitch and tone is harder to teach than leasing software.

Benefits include health, dental, and vision coverage, 401k matching, paid time off, paid parental and maternal leave, a discretionary annual bonus, and learning reimbursement. This is a non-exempt, full-time position located on-site at View on 10th. Work authorization in the United States is required; visa sponsorship is not available.
