This is an opportunity to shape strategy and lead a regional portfolio of Redwood apartment neighborhoods within a growing organization.

We’re not simply looking for someone who can manage numbers and oversee properties. We’re looking for someone who understands the business, leads with integrity, develops people, and takes pride in creating places where residents and employees want to be.

The opportunity

Reporting to our EVP of Property Operations, you’ll lead and develop Regional Managers, drive operational and financial performance, and work closely with executive leadership to turn company priorities into meaningful results.

Lead leaders. Coach and develop Regional Managers, build accountability, and prepare the next generation of operations leaders.

Own portfolio performance. Drive occupancy, resident retention, revenue, expense control, profitability, and resident satisfaction.

Think strategically. Analyze market trends and operating results, solve challenges, and support growth initiatives.

Strengthen the resident experience. Maintain consistent standards across neighborhoods while recognizing each team and community’s needs.

Connect the business. Partner with Finance, Asset Management, Revenue Management, Development, Construction, Marketing, and other teams.

Champion improvement. Support new technologies, better processes, and practical ideas that help people do their best work.

What you’ll bring

7+ years of progressive property management, apartment portfolio operations, or related leadership experience.

5+ years of management experience leading Regional Managers, Directors, or comparable operational leaders.

Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Property Management, Real Estate, or a related field.

Business judgment and hands-on experience with budgets, financial performance, operational metrics, and multiple competing priorities.

People-first leadership that combines clear expectations, sound decisions, open communication, and genuine coaching.

Experience with multi-state portfolios, Yardi Voyager, and a CPM designation or similar certification is a plus.

Where you’ll work and travel

This remote-based position supports Redwood apartment neighborhoods throughout Illinois and Indiana within a regional territory of approximately 150 miles. The role requires regular travel to community locations and occasional travel to corporate headquarters. A valid driver's license is required.

Compensation

The pay range for this role is $150,000 to $190,000 annually and is eligible for a 10-15% discretionary bonus based on performance.
