Job Description

Property Manager (Community Manager) — Student Housing

Company: Hyperion Residential Group

Community: Seahawk Cove, Wilmington, NC

Job type: Full-time, on-site, exempt

Salary: $45,000 / year

Live and work where others vacation

Hyperion Residential Group is hiring an on-site Property Manager to lead Seahawk Cove, a 48-unit, 144-bed student housing community in Wilmington, NC. This is a hands-on leadership role at a tight-knit community close to campus and the coast — perfect for a people-focused leasing and operations professional who wants real ownership of a property rather than being one cog in a 600-unit machine.

As Property Manager, you are the face of Seahawk Cove. You'll own everything from leasing and resident experience to the budget, the team, and the annual turn that gets the community move-in ready each August. You'll be supported by Hyperion's regional and corporate teams, but the day-to-day success of the community is yours to drive.

What you'll do

• Drive leasing and occupancy. Own the bed-by-bed leasing cycle — tours, applications, roommate matching, renewals, and pre-leasing campaigns — to hit occupancy and revenue goals.
• Lead marketing and outreach. Promote the community through social media, campus partnerships, resident referrals, and on-site events that keep Seahawk Cove top of mind for students and parents.
• Deliver a great resident experience. Build relationships with residents and guarantors, respond to concerns quickly, plan resident events, and drive retention and renewals.
• Manage the money. Collect rent, manage delinquencies and accounts receivable, post charges accurately, and operate the community within its approved budget.
• Run the operation. Supervise on-site leasing and maintenance staff, coordinate work orders and vendors, conduct regular property inspections, and keep curb appeal high.
• Own the turn. Plan and oversee the summer make-ready turn so every unit is clean, repaired, and move-in ready for the fall.
• Stay compliant. Follow Fair Housing, landlord-tenant law, and company policy in every interaction, and keep accurate resident and property records.
• Report to ownership. Provide timely, accurate reporting on occupancy, financials, and community performance.

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of property management or leasing experience; student housing or multifamily experience strongly preferred
• A proven track record of meeting leasing, occupancy, or sales goals
• Supervisory or team-leadership experience
• Excellent communication, customer service, and problem-solving skills
• Strong organization and the ability to juggle leasing, operations, and finances at once
• Comfort with property management software (Entrata experience is a plus) and Microsoft Office
• Working knowledge of Fair Housing and landlord-tenant regulations
• Availability to work a flexible schedule, including some evenings and weekends during peak leasing season and the summer turn
• High school diploma or equivalent required; bachelor’s degree a plus
• Valid driver’s license
• An active NC real estate license is a plus (not required to apply)

What we offer

• $45,000 annual salary
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• The chance to run your own community and grow with a fast-moving third-party management company
• A genuinely fun, student-focused environment minutes from UNCW, downtown Wilmington, and the beaches

Schedule

Full-time, on-site at Seahawk Cove in Wilmington, NC. Expect a typical weekday schedule with added evening and weekend hours during peak leasing periods and the August move-in turn.
