It's a Tuesday morning and you're halfway through a windshield survey of three communities before noon. One site has a delinquency spike that needs explaining, another is mid lease-up with traffic numbers that aren't converting, and your newest property manager just called with a question about a renewal pricing decision. That's the rhythm of this role, and it suits people who think well on their feet and communicate clearly under pressure.
Hillpointe is a vertically integrated developer and investment firm building market-rate workforce housing across the Sun Belt. They control everything from land acquisition through construction and asset management, which means their property management team operates inside a company that genuinely understands what was built, what it cost, and what it needs to perform. As a Regional Property Manager based in Macon, GA, you'll carry responsibility for a portfolio of communities and report into a company ranked among NMHC's top builders and developers.
The financial side of this role is real and demanding. You'll develop annual budgets, analyze financial statements, identify performance gaps, and build action plans to close them. Pricing strategy and renewal management run through Hillpointe's own systems, so comfort with property management software (Entrata experience is a plus) matters. You'll also be expected to read market conditions, build property-level marketing plans, and drive occupancy and revenue growth across your portfolio.
On the people side, this role is largely about building teams. You'll hire, train, and develop site-level staff, set clear goals and expectations, and hold people accountable to them. Stakeholder communication is a consistent responsibility, not an occasional one.
Regular travel across your geographic portfolio is part of the job. You need to be able to physically inspect all areas of each property.
Coming in, you need:
What the role builds is different. Because Hillpointe controls the full development cycle in-house, regional managers here develop a sharper understanding of how construction decisions affect operational costs, how lease-up communities differ from stabilized ones in terms of team needs and pricing strategy, and how to work within a company where asset management and property management are genuinely connected rather than siloed. That exposure is harder to get at a third-party management shop and tends to produce regional managers who think more like operators.
The candidates who stand out aren't just financially literate. They're the ones who can walk a community, spot what's off before the numbers confirm it, and coach a site team toward a solution without creating dependency. Sales instinct matters here. Hillpointe is direct about that. If you've grown occupancy through genuine leasing strategy rather than just concessions, that history will read clearly in your work.
