Regional Manager

Asset Living runs one of the larger third-party management portfolios in the country, spanning multifamily, build-to-rent, affordable housing, student housing, and single-family rentals. This Regional Manager role sits in Orlando and covers a portfolio of communities across those categories. You'll report up through senior leadership and own everything that happens at the site level.

The job is operational and financial in equal measure. On any given week, you're reviewing occupancy and delinquency numbers, walking properties, coaching Community Managers through personnel issues, approving vendor invoices, and signing off on leasing strategy. You're also the person who catches budget drift early, writes the monthly variance explanation, and escalates capex needs before they become emergencies. Ownership reports flow through you, and accuracy is your responsibility.

Personnel management takes a real chunk of your time. You screen and hire site staff, document performance problems correctly, handle terminations when necessary, and push salary requests through the right channels. Asset Living is a third-party management company, which means your site managers are representing both Asset and the ownership group. Consistency in how you apply company policy across your portfolio matters more than it would in a single-asset role.

On the leasing side, you build out annual marketing plans, pressure-test closing rates, and make sure your teams are executing on follow-up and lease documentation with precision. Resident retention programs, complaint resolution, and move-in experience all fall under your oversight as well.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience managing a multi-site residential portfolio as a regional or area manager
• Solid working knowledge of NOI drivers, budget development, and variance analysis
• Experience hiring, coaching, and disciplining on-site staff across multiple locations
• Familiarity with fair housing requirements and risk management practices
• Ability to review and approve vendor contracts, monitor capex projects, and keep maintenance programs on schedule
• Strong written communication skills for ownership reporting and internal documentation

One thing that separates strong candidates in this role: they don't wait for site managers to surface problems. The best regional managers build reporting habits and inspection cadences that let them see issues before they show up in the T-12. If you're the type who manages by exception and only looks closely when numbers are already off, third-party management is a tough fit. Ownership clients have limited tolerance for surprises, and Asset's reputation depends on the quality of reporting and operations that regional managers deliver.

Orlando's multifamily market has stayed active with strong rental demand, but it's also seen significant new supply come online in recent cycles. That context matters for how you position your communities on concessions, set lease-up expectations, and advise ownership on pricing strategy. Experience in a competitive Sun Belt market is a practical asset here.
