About this role
Fairstead, a national affordable housing owner and operator managing over 30,000 apartments across 28 states, is hiring a Senior Regional Manager to oversee day-to-day operations across a multi-state region covering Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. This is a contract position based in New York City, though the role itself is in-office within your assigned region. You'll manage all property management functions for your portfolio, from leasing and marketing strategy to maintenance oversight, resident relations, and financial reporting—with direct accountability for meeting budgeted NOI targets and submitting monthly variance analyses to the CFO.
The role demands four years of regional property management experience and proficiency in YARDI or Real Page systems. You'll need demonstrated expertise with REAC, NSPIRE, and MOR inspections, plus relevant affordable housing certifications (COS, TCS, HCCP, NAHP, CPO, or NSPIRE/Inspection). Strong skills in budget management, HUD compliance, vendor coordination, and resident complaint resolution are essential. Spanish fluency is a plus. This position suits someone comfortable balancing multiple priorities, managing contractors and staff, and working within a compliance-heavy environment where attention to detail and quick turnaround on deliverables matter.
Fairstead offers comprehensive benefits including employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) match (100% of first 3%, 50% of next 2%); 20 PTO days plus 13 paid holidays and 7 sick days; life and disability insurance; and various employee discounts. The company emphasizes innovation, data-driven operations, and entrepreneurial culture within the affordable housing sector.
