Leasing Manager – Ivy & Elm | $65.000 - $75,000
The phones are ringing.
A prospect is waiting for a tour.
A leasing consultant needs help closing a lease.
Occupancy goals are approaching, and the team is looking for direction.
In student housing, there's always activity.
The difference between a busy leasing office and a successful one usually comes down to leadership.
We're hiring a Leasing Manager at Ivy & Elm — someone who can lead from the front, develop a high-performing team, and turn leasing activity into results.
What This Role Really Is
This isn't a role where you simply manage a calendar or monitor reports.
This role is about creating consistency, accountability, and performance across the leasing operation.
It sits at the intersection of:
- Sales Leadership
- Team Development
- Marketing
- Customer Experience
- Property Performance
You'll be responsible for helping prospects choose Ivy & Elm while coaching your team to deliver an exceptional experience every step of the way.
Who This Role Is For
This role is for someone who:
- Loves the challenge of hitting leasing goals
- Enjoys coaching and developing others
- Leads by example rather than from behind a desk
- Understands that follow-up drives results
- Brings energy, accountability, and structure to a team
- Can balance sales, operations, and customer service priorities
- Takes ownership of outcomes rather than making excuses
Who This Role Is NOT For
This role is probably not a fit if:
- You prefer working independently rather than leading a team
- You avoid difficult conversations or performance coaching
- You focus on activity instead of results
- You struggle with accountability and follow-through
- You view leasing as simply giving tours and answering questions
We're looking for someone who understands that strong occupancy starts with strong leadership.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Leading and developing the leasing team
- Driving occupancy, leasing, and renewal goals
- Coaching leasing professionals on tours, closing techniques, and follow-up
- Monitoring leasing performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
- Managing lead flow and ensuring timely communication with prospects
- Supporting marketing, outreach, and resident engagement initiatives
- Maintaining strong knowledge of market conditions and competitor activity
- Ensuring an exceptional prospect and resident experience
- Partnering with property leadership to achieve community goals
- Creating a culture of accountability, professionalism, and results
What We're Looking For
- Previous leasing experience required
- Previous leasing leadership or management experience preferred
- Student housing experience is a plus
- Strong sales and customer service skills
- Experience coaching, mentoring, or leading team members
- Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Ability to perform in a fast-paced, goal-oriented environment
- Experience with Entrata or similar property management software preferred
Why Ivy & Elm
Every tour matters.
Every follow-up matters.
Every lease matters.
This role directly impacts:
- Occupancy performance
- Leasing team success
- Resident experience
- The overall success of the community
It's an opportunity to lead a team, influence results, and make a visible impact on the property's performance.
