🌿 About Arboreal Management

Arboreal Management is a mission-driven property management company focused on affordable and workforce housing in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve grown quickly to manage over 5,000 homes with integrity, care, and a commitment to long-term community success. Our strength lies in combining strong operations, deep compliance expertise, and modern technology to deliver exceptional outcomes for residents, partners, and regulators.

🎯 About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Lease-Up Portfolio Manager to lead the successful stabilization of residential buildings in Seattle. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives in the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of a lease-up—someone who knows how to build momentum, hit occupancy targets, and set a property up for long-term success.

🔥 Why You’ll Love This Role

• Impact & Mission: Your work directly improves housing access and quality for people in your community.
• Leadership & Growth: You’ll lead a skilled team while collaborating closely with senior leadership in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment.
• Variety & Challenge: No two days are the same—you'll be driving lease-up velocity, overseeing operations, ensuring compliance, and building the foundation for stable, high-performing assets.
• Culture & Support: We believe in data-driven decisions, respectful resident relationships, and a team-first mindset.

🛠️ What You'll Do

• Lead Lease-Up Execution: Drive aggressive, strategic lease-up campaigns to achieve stabilization targets on time and on budget.
• Own the Portfolio: Oversee day-to-day operations across multiple properties—leasing, pricing, compliance, and maintenance.
• Inspire & Guide: Manage and mentor leasing, admin, and maintenance staff to hit goals and grow professionally.
• Drive Performance: Manage NOI, financial reporting, and Section 8 paperwork with precision and care.
• Innovate: Identify opportunities for improvement and lead light rehab projects as needed.
• Collaborate: Partner with our accounting team, senior leaders, and vendors to deliver consistent results.

✅ What You'll Bring

• Proven lease-up experience — required. You've successfully taken a property from pre-leasing through stabilization and know what it takes.
• 3+ years of property management experience, with hands-on oversight of multiple properties.
• Experience working at affordable or workforce housing properties.
• A track record of hitting occupancy goals under tight timelines.
• Proven leadership skills and the ability to build strong, effective teams quickly.
• Comfort in a fast-paced, evolving work environment.
• A data-oriented, problem-solving mindset.
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail.

🚀 What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Immediate performance based bonus available.
• Leadership role in a growing, mission-driven organization.
• Opportunity to shape and optimize operations with strong executive backing.
• Collaborative team culture that values innovation, excellence, and integrity.
