Leasing Consultant

Student housing operates on a rhythm that most multifamily professionals never experience. The lease-up timeline compresses into a single academic calendar, traffic spikes in waves tied to housing fairs and move-in weekends, and the resident population turns over almost entirely once a year. If you want to understand leasing fundamentals under real pressure, this is a strong place to start.

What You'll Actually Do

Scion's Experience Team Member role at Redpoint Tuscaloosa sits at the intersection of leasing, marketing, and customer service. Day to day, you're giving property tours, fielding prospect questions, and handling the back-and-forth communication that moves someone from curious to signed. You'll also support social media content, help plan and run resident engagement events, and flag what's working (and what isn't) in terms of sales conversations and objections. On the administrative side, expect package management, office upkeep, maintenance request coordination, and rotating after-hours on-call coverage including lockouts. Turn periods at student properties are dense, fast, and require everyone on the team to show up ready to execute.

What You Bring

• A genuine comfort with talking to people from different backgrounds, in person and online
• Reliability and self-discipline, especially during high-volume periods like summer and Turn
• Flexibility to work evenings, holidays, and rotating on-call shifts as the schedule demands
• Strong organizational habits that hold up when the office gets busy
• Eligibility to work in the United States (visa sponsorship is not available)

Where This Role Takes You

The skills you build here transfer directly into roles like leasing manager, assistant community manager, or marketing coordinator at conventional multifamily properties. Student housing teaches you to close under urgency, communicate across a wide demographic, and manage operations during one of the most logistically demanding events in property management: a full community turn. Operators in Class A garden-style and mid-rise communities actively recruit people with student housing backgrounds because of that experience. The ETM position at Scion is a legitimate entry point into a career track, not just a leasing job. Candidates who advance quickly tend to be the ones who treat every resident interaction as a data point, actively report what's slowing down conversions, and take the on-call rotation seriously rather than treating it as an inconvenience.
