Leasing Consultant

Student housing runs on a different clock than conventional multifamily. Leases align with academic calendars, traffic spikes around application deadlines, and the turn period compresses an enormous amount of work into a few weeks every summer. The Leasing Consultant role at Scion's Archive Oxford community in Oxford, Mississippi sits squarely inside that rhythm.

This position blends sales, marketing, and property operations. You're not just showing units. You're building relationships with prospective residents, supporting community events, handling package retrieval, logging maintenance requests, and keeping the office and amenities presentable. On any given day, you might give a tour in the morning, post content to a social platform at midday, and take an after-hours lockout call that evening.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

The role sits on-site at Archive Oxford. Daytime business hours are the baseline, but there's an on-call rotation for after-hours needs. During Turn, the pace picks up significantly. That's the period when outgoing residents leave and incoming residents arrive in close succession, and everyone on the team carries more. Availability during Turn and over summer and holidays is a real requirement here, not a footnote.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Touring prospective residents and communicating community features and policies accurately
• Executing leasing and engagement initiatives set by the management team
• Contributing to social media content and local marketing outreach
• Assisting with planning and running resident experience events
• Handling package intake and retrieval
• Scheduling maintenance follow-ups and tracking resolutions
• Maintaining the office, clubhouse, and amenity spaces

What Scion Is Looking For

Strong candidates here don't just have good people skills. They stay organized when priorities shift fast. Student housing residents expect quick responses and a high-touch experience. If you get rattled when five things happen at once, this role will feel hard. If that environment energizes you, it won't.

Scion calls this position an Experience Team Member internally, which signals what they actually value. Sales matter, but so does everything that happens after someone signs a lease. Candidates who understand that resident retention starts at the first tour, not at renewal time, will stand out.

Requirements include strong written and verbal communication, reliability, flexibility, and a genuinely customer-first approach. Work authorization in the United States is required. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matching, paid time off, paid parental and maternal leave, a discretionary annual bonus, and learning reimbursement. This is a non-exempt hourly position.
