Regional Manager

Job description

At Elmington Living, we don't just manage properties — we build communities people are proud to call home. As the team behind 70+ affordable and market-rate assets across the country, we've earned our reputation through relentless care, sharp execution, and an eye for detail that never quits, guided by People First, Always. Execution with Integrity. Excellence by Design.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Regional Manager, you'll be the driving force behind a portfolio of affordable housing communities — sharpening operations, keeping financial performance on track, and building teams that deliver. You'll partner closely with Community Directors, step in as the go-to leader when challenges arise, and help every property hit strong results while creating the kind of resident experience that makes a house feel like home. This is a role for someone who wants real ownership, real impact, and a real seat at the table.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE

Competitive compensation that reflects the market and the impact of the role

Monthly bonus opportunities tied to achievable KPIs

Medical, dental, and vision benefits starting the 1st of the month following your hire date — no long waiting period

Company-provided life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage

401(k) eligibility after 90 days, with company match

Vacation, sick, and personal time accrual to help you recharge

10 paid holidays each year

Cell phone reimbursement to support you while you're out in the field

WHAT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WILL LOOK LIKE

Keep your finger on the pulse of property performance by tracking NOI, NRI, bad debt, management fees, and physical occupancy against budget

Be out where the action happens — maintaining a near-daily on-site presence across your portfolio (a minimum of 4 days per week), including a formal site visit and inspection at each property every week to review curb appeal, apartment home readiness, and maintenance standards

Partner with Community Directors to review monthly financials, identify variances, and turn insights into decisive corrective action

Own the property-level action plans Community Directors build for underperforming assets, holding them accountable for progress, while also driving your own portfolio-level strategy

Stay on top of AR and AP performance across the portfolio, spotting trends and outliers early so you can speak with confidence to the RVP and Asset Management

Lead monthly formal site inspections across your properties to keep them sharp, prepared, and performing at their best

COMPLIANCE CONFIDENCE

Keep every property audit-ready and in full compliance with LIHTC, HUD, Section 8, and applicable state program requirements

Prepare properties for REAC, MOR, and state agency inspections, then lead sharp, effective corrective action plans when findings arise

Audit income certifications, recertifications, and waitlist management for accuracy and timeliness

TEAM LEADERSHIP & SUPPORT

Meet one-on-one with each of your Community Directors every week to align on performance, priorities, and how you can support them

Coach, develop, and hold your Community Directors accountable across your assigned portfolio

Play an active role in hiring, onboarding, and training on-site leasing and management teams so they walk in ready to succeed

RESIDENT & COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Drive timely, professional resolution of resident concerns and escalations with a focus on service and solutions

Partner on marketing and leasing strategies that help communities reach and maintain target occupancy

Champion resident retention and community engagement efforts that turn residents into neighbors who stay

REGIONAL MANAGER MUST HAVES

2-4 years of property management experience, including experience in a multi-site or supervisory role

Affordable housing experience is a must — LIHTC, HUD, Section 8, and state program knowledge will help you hit the ground running

A road-ready leader who thrives in the field, with a minimum of 4 days per week visiting and supporting properties (estimated 80% travel)

A valid driver's license and the ability to travel regularly to assigned communities

Experience with RealPage/OneSite, Yardi, Fortress, or similar property management software

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO BRINGS

A natural organizer who keeps priorities, people, and properties moving in the right direction

A confident communicator who writes clearly, speaks professionally, and builds strong relationships across teams

A hands-on leader who thrives on coaching, developing, and bringing out the best in others

A sharp read on cash flow and how it drives property-level financial performance

Nice to have: TCS, COS, HCCP, or CPM
