About the Role
We're growing our student rental portfolio and looking for an enthusiastic, organized, and tech-savvy Assistant Property Manager to join our team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a recent graduate who wants to build a career in property management from the ground up. A significant part of this role is marketing and analytics — you'll be driving how we attract and retain tenants, and using data to inform our strategy. If you love both the creative and analytical sides of marketing, this role is for you.
This role also requires a high degree of maturity and professionalism. Working in student rentals means navigating real-world situations — from late rent conversations to lease violations and difficult tenant interactions. You'll need to handle these moments with confidence, empathy, and composure.
What You'll Do
• Lead marketing efforts across digital platforms — listings, social media, campus outreach, and paid ads — to maximize occupancy
• Track and analyze leasing and marketing performance data to identify trends and opportunities
• Build reports and dashboards to help the team make smarter, data-driven decisions
• Support the leasing process from listing to signed lease — including showings, applications, and move-ins
• Communicate with tenants regarding lease renewals, questions, and general inquiries
• Coordinate maintenance requests and follow up to ensure timely resolution
• Use property management software (AppFolio) to track leases, payments, and maintenance tickets
What We're Looking For
• Recent graduate (Real Estate, Business, Marketing, or Data Analytics preferred)
• Emotionally mature and professionally confident — comfortable having direct, sometimes difficult conversations with tenants, parents, and guarantors
• Able to enforce policies firmly but fairly, without taking things personally
• Strong analytical skills — comfortable pulling insights from data and presenting findings
• Experience with or enthusiasm for digital marketing, SEO, and social media strategy
• Comfortable with technology — property management platforms, CRMs, and Google Workspace
• Embraces AI tools and is eager to use them to work smarter — whether that's drafting communications, analyzing data, or streamlining day-to-day tasks
• Strong communicator with a friendly, professional manner
• Highly organized with great attention to detail
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment
• Interest in or passion for real estate is a big plus
Why Join Us
• Hands-on mentorship and real growth potential
• Learn the full scope of property management in a dynamic, student-focused market
• Work with a growing portfolio of unique properties in one of Georgia's most vibrant college towns
• Supportive, close-knit team environment
• [Salary range | Benefits | Perks — add yours here]
