Regional Property Manager

What You'll Actually Do

This Regional Property Manager role sits at the intersection of student housing operations, financial oversight, and sales strategy across a portfolio of properties in the San Antonio and Austin markets. You're the connective tissue between corporate directives and on-site execution. That means regular property visits to assess curb appeal, maintenance operations, capital improvements, and brand consistency, plus the financial discipline to run monthly variance calls, review delinquency trends, and guide General Managers through budget season. When occupancy softens or closing ratios slip, you're the one building the strategy to correct it, not just flagging the problem.

The turn process in student housing is unlike anything in conventional multifamily. You're coordinating mass move-outs and move-ins within a compressed window, often measured in days rather than weeks. Strong candidates have managed this at scale before and understand what it takes to keep a team focused when the calendar is unforgiving.

On the revenue side, you'll work alongside a Regional Revenue Manager on weekly leasing strategy calls, analyzing traffic, closing ratios, and unit mix configurations to hit targeted occupancy and revenue goals for each sales year. You'll also evaluate renewal incentives, new resident concessions, and premium structures as part of the annual revenue plan. The sales component here is more analytical than most regional roles in conventional PM.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience managing a portfolio of properties at the regional level, ideally in student housing or lease-up environments with compressed leasing cycles
• Fluency in financial reporting: variance analysis, capex oversight, delinquency management, and budget development alongside General Managers
• Experience coaching and developing on-site teams, including holding managers accountable to leasing goals and operational standards
• Comfort working with leasing intelligence platforms and market data to shape strategy, not just review it
• Ability to be physically present at properties in the San Antonio and Austin area on a regular basis, with availability for emergency coverage when site leadership gaps arise
• Eligibility to work in the United States without visa sponsorship

Where This Role Leads

Regional Manager is one of the most skill-compounding roles in property management. You're developing fluency in asset-level finance, revenue management, people operations, and vendor negotiation simultaneously. Managers who perform well in this seat typically move toward Regional Vice President roles or into director-level positions overseeing larger portfolios or specific operational verticals. In student housing specifically, the analytical rigor around leasing cycles, rate setting, and revenue planning translates well to conventional multifamily, build-to-rent portfolios, and even asset management functions. The skill set you build here travels.

Scion operates as one of the larger student housing platforms in North America, which means you're working within a system that has actual infrastructure: dedicated revenue management support, training and talent development resources, and capital teams you can consult on major expenditures. For a regional manager, that kind of institutional support makes a meaningful difference in what you can actually deliver for your communities.
