    Portfolio Manager – Multifamily Properties
    Greater Portland, OR area (Hybrid)

    Join a fast-growing multifamily property management platform at an early stage of its evolution. This is more than a traditional portfolio role. You’ll step into a high-impact position with real influence—helping shape how the company operates while directly overseeing the performance of a growing multifamily portfolio.

    As Portfolio Manager, you’ll own both execution and improvement: leading on-site teams, driving lease-ups, and building systems that scale. You’ll partner closely with leadership and the development group, making this an ideal role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from the ground up, and wants a seat at the table as the platform grows.

    Essential Functions & Responsibilities:

    • Full operational and financial accountability for a portfolio of multifamily communities.
    • Leadership of on-site teams, including hiring, training, performance management, and culture-setting.
    • Lease-up execution for new construction assets, including pricing strategy, absorption pacing, and renewals.
    • Hands-on oversight of collections, delinquencies, expense control, and revenue optimization.
    • Ownership of operating budgets, forecasts, and monthly financial performance reviews.
    • Vendor strategy, contract negotiation, and accountability for service quality and cost control.
    • Oversight of capital improvements, preventative maintenance, and unit inspections.
    • Compliance with fair housing, safety, and regulatory requirements.
    • On-call leadership during critical after-hours situations when needed.

    Build & Scale the Platform:

    • Design and implement operating systems, workflows, and best practices.
    • Create SOPs and training programs that empower on-site teams to perform at a high level.
    • Partner with accounting and leadership to align property-level execution with company goals.
    • Collaborate closely with development partners during construction completion and lease-up phases.
    • Continuously refine processes to support growth, efficiency, and resident experience.

    Who Thrives Here:

    • 5+ years of multifamily property management experience with multi-site responsibility.
    • Direct experience leading new construction lease-ups.
    • A builder’s mindset—comfortable creating structure where none exists.
    • Strong leadership skills with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves approach.
    • Financially sharp with experience in budgeting, forecasting, and operational analysis.
    • Tech-forward and comfortable leveraging property management platforms and data.
    • Adaptable, decisive, and energized by fast-paced environments.
    • Strong communicator who can lead teams and partner with ownership.
    • Willingness to travel regularly to properties and be available for critical issues.

    Benefits:

    • Medical/dental/vision benefits.
    • Hybrid work environment with flexibility.
    • Mileage reimbursement.
    • Long-term growth and leadership opportunity as the company expands.
