Leasing Consultant

Student housing runs on a different rhythm than conventional multifamily. Leases align with academic calendars, traffic spikes arrive in waves tied to housing fairs and move-in weekends, and the resident base turns over almost entirely each year. If you want to build leasing skills in that environment, this role at Redpoint West Lafayette gives you a concentrated education in all of it.

Skills This Role Requires From Day One

The Experience Team Member position draws heavily on interpersonal communication and adaptability. You'll conduct community and amenity tours, field objections from prospective residents (and their parents), and represent the property in conversations that happen both inside the office and around campus. That takes genuine customer-service instincts, not just a script. You'll also need to be organized enough to manage package logging, maintenance request follow-ups, and office operations without letting any of it slip. Scion calls this role a combination of marketing, relationship building, administration, and customer service, and that description is accurate. The workload shifts depending on the week, and availability during Turn periods and summer is a real requirement, not a footnote.

Skills This Role Builds Over Time

What you'll develop here goes beyond leasing basics. Working in student housing teaches you how to read traffic patterns against a leasing calendar, how to adjust messaging when occupancy targets aren't being met, and how to contribute to social media and local marketing in ways that actually connect with a collegiate audience. You'll learn to give useful feedback on sales barriers to your management team, which is a habit that sharpens your own understanding of why prospects don't convert. The after-hours on-call rotation, including lockout assistance, builds the kind of composure that carries into every future property management role you'll hold.

Student housing leasing also trains you to work through an annual lease-up cycle with a defined end date. That pressure is real, and learning to perform inside it makes conventional multifamily leasing feel more manageable by comparison.

What Makes This Specific Opportunity Worth Considering

Scion manages student communities across the country and has built operational systems around the particular demands of the collegiate market. Working at Redpoint West Lafayette means you're operating near a large Big Ten university with consistent demand, competitive traffic, and a resident base that expects amenities and experience to match their expectations. The role sits at the property full-time, so you'll develop real fluency with the community rather than splitting attention across a portfolio.

• Strong candidates bring genuine curiosity about what drives leasing decisions, not just enthusiasm for talking to people
• Reliability during high-demand periods (Turn, move-in, peak leasing season) is where this role is actually won or lost
• Comfort with social media as a leasing tool is increasingly useful in this market segment
