Property Manager – Student Housing | Santa Barbara, CA

Onsite | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm | $38–$42/hour plus overtime

A long-standing property management company in Santa Barbara is looking for an experienced Property Manager to run two student housing buildings, 300–400 units combined. This is a hands-on, onsite role for someone who likes being present at the property (NO housing provided). You'll work with a strong team, and the company promotes from within.

What You'll Do

• Oversee the physical condition of both buildings and be a visible presence onsite
• Perform exterior, semi-annual interior, and move-out inspections
• Enter and track work orders
• Scope projects, obtain bids, and coordinate the work, including capital improvements
• Manage vendor relationships, and review and approve vendor invoices, utilities, and other property expenses
• Lead the move-out and leasing process, with the team stepping in where needed depending on the year
• Draft resident notices and correspondence
• Handle resident communication and relations
• Complete security deposit reconciliations
• Track the market, recommend rents, and make rent changes
• Keep online marketing and social media updated
• Coordinate and supervise the 2 onsite managers
• Communicate with property owners and maintain those relationships
• Support income and expense review and budgeting, which is led by the Property Supervisor
• Work occasional weekends during June and September move-outs, and join the emergency on-call rotation
• Take on other duties as requested by the Senior Property Supervisor and/or Vice President

What You Bring

• 3+ years of residential property management experience. Multifamily and HOA experience count; commercial does not.
• Multi-unit housing experience is required
• Firm but friendly: students can be creative with their arguments, and you'll hold your ground while keeping relationships positive with residents, parents, and owners
• Working knowledge of Outlook, Word, and Excel. AppFolio experience is a plus, but training is provided.
• Clean DMV record, valid driver's license, working vehicle, and current auto insurance
