Regional Manager

Asset Living has been operating as a third-party management firm since 1986, and their South Florida portfolio reflects the kind of complexity that comes with decades of growth across multifamily, affordable housing, build-to-rent, and student housing. This Regional Manager role covers properties in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, which means you're working in one of the most competitive and operationally demanding rental markets in the country. Concessions, delinquency pressure, and high resident turnover expectations are real day-to-day realities here. If that kind of environment energizes you rather than drains you, that's a meaningful first filter.

The role is genuinely broad. You'll carry responsibility for the full operational picture across a portfolio of communities: personnel, leasing performance, financial outcomes, maintenance standards, and compliance. Asset Living operates as a third-party manager, so you're also accountable to ownership relationships, not just internal benchmarks. That distinction matters. Your monthly reporting, budget variance explanations, and capex recommendations land in front of clients who are evaluating both the numbers and the quality of your thinking.

On the people side, this isn't a role where you hand off the hard conversations. You'll be the person coaching site managers, working through performance documentation, collaborating with HR on terminations when necessary, and making salary recommendations that reflect real contribution. The communities you oversee run better when the people running them feel supported and held to clear standards. Both things have to be true at the same time, and finding that balance is where a lot of regional managers struggle.

Financially, you'll own the annual operating budget process, monitor NOI trends, and flag line items that are drifting off course before they become a problem for ownership. You'll also weigh in on capital improvement planning and review vendor proposals and contracts for larger projects at your sites.

What separates strong candidates from average ones in this specific role is usually how they handle the lag between identifying a problem and having the authority or resources to fix it. Third-party management means you're often advocating upward to ownership while managing downward to staff and outward to residents, all at once. The regional managers who do this well tend to be clear communicators who don't over-promise, who document consistently, and who know how to build trust in multiple directions without losing their own judgment in the process.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience overseeing multiple multifamily communities as a regional or multi-site manager
• Comfort with full-cycle financial management: budgeting, variance analysis, NOI accountability, and owner reporting
• Hands-on experience hiring, coaching, and managing on-site teams, including handling performance issues through proper documentation and HR process
• Working knowledge of fair housing regulations and risk management practices
• Ability to develop and execute marketing and leasing strategies that respond to local traffic and occupancy trends
• Strong administrative discipline: reporting accuracy, timely closeouts, and vendor oversight aren't afterthoughts for you

Asset Living holds IREM's Accredited Management Organization designation, which reflects a commitment to professional standards that shows up in how they expect their regional managers to operate. If you've built your career in fee management or third-party environments and understand what it means to be accountable to both an owner and a resident community simultaneously, this role is structured for that kind of professional.
