Regional Property Manager

This role lives or dies on two skills: reading a financial statement fast and reading people even faster. The Regional Property Manager position at Hillpointe asks you to do both simultaneously, across a Sun Belt portfolio of workforce housing communities in and around Atlanta.

What This Role Actually Demands

Hillpointe isn't a third-party fee management shop. They develop, build, and operate their own product. That matters because when you're the Regional here, you're not translating an owner's vision through layers of bureaucracy. You're sitting close to the source. Budget variance conversations happen with people who built the asset. That's a different dynamic than most regionals experience.

The financial side is real. You're building annual budgets, managing pricing and renewal strategies inside Entrata, and digging into performance gaps before they show up as NOI problems on the T-12. If you can't spot a delinquency trend early or explain why T-3 occupancy is trending down before your owner asks, this isn't the right seat for you.

But the job posting says "Sales, Sales, Sales" three times, and that's not an accident. Workforce housing in the Sun Belt is competitive. You're competing on price, reputation, and leasing execution. A regional who can only manage expenses but can't drive traffic and close occupancy gaps is only doing half the job. The expectation here is that you build teams who sell, and you model that culture from the top down.

The People Side of the Portfolio

Identifying talent and developing site-level teams is where the leverage is in this role. You can have the best pricing strategy in the market and still lose ground if your on-site managers aren't executing. Hillpointe wants someone who can hire right, train with purpose, and hold teams accountable to leasing goals and deadlines without micromanaging every punch list item.

Regular travel across the portfolio is expected. Site inspections, team check-ins, market surveys. If you're the type who prefers to manage by spreadsheet from a home office, this one isn't for you.

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

• Entrata fluency, or at minimum, the ability to get up to speed fast on a new platform without hand-holding
• Proven experience managing lease-up or stabilization across multiple communities at once
• A real track record in workforce or Class B/C garden-style product, not just Class A high-rise
• The ability to develop marketing plans that actually move the needle on online leads and tours, not just repost listings
• A real estate license, or a clear path to obtaining one in the Georgia market
• Comfort communicating with stakeholders across legal, financial, and HR contexts

Regionals who come up through the ranks at integrated developer-operators tend to have an edge here. They understand that every operational decision connects back to asset value, and they don't need to be reminded of it. If your background includes ownership-side thinking alongside your management experience, that's the profile Hillpointe is building toward.
