Real Estate Leasing Operations Associate

Real Estate Leasing Operations Associate

Real Estate | Leasing Operations & Lead Conversion

Hours: 10 hrs/week | Type: Contract / Part-time | Location: Remote

The Business

We manage a residential real estate investment portfolio across multiple markets, with active leasing and ongoing acquisition activity, and are concurrently building a data- and technology-driven operating platform to support scale, efficiency, and growth. 

As the portfolio grows, maintaining leasing velocity, lead follow-through, and operational consistency is critical. This role helps centralize leasing execution across markets so prospect engagement, applications, and move-ins are handled consistently.

What You Will Own

This role is responsible for helping drive leasing outcomes across the portfolio — serving as the centralized execution lead for prospect-to-tenant conversion:

• Setting up and organizing leasing workflows for active listings, from inquiry through application and move-in
• Tracking lead status, listing activity, response timing, showings, and application conversion
• Engaging qualified prospects through timely follow-up and pre-/post-showing communication
• Driving lead follow-up, qualification, showings coordination, applications, approvals, and move-ins  
• Improving listing, website, and social media content, including photos, descriptions, and messaging
• Designing and testing leasing automation workflows (SMS/chat/call/email) using live listings and real activity
• Developing and maintaining process documentation as leasing operations and workflows evolve

Priorities will evolve over time; part of the role is developing judgment on what to prioritize and driving it to completion.

What We’re Looking For

Eligibility: Junior/senior undergraduates or graduate students (Class of 2025–2027), or candidates with prior professional experience. All candidates must have prior experience personally owning leasing, sales, or operational workflows. 

• Prior exposure to real estate, leasing, property management, hospitality, or sales strongly preferred
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through across multiple active workflows
• Strong creative instincts around listings, messaging, social media, and customer-facing content
• Naturally comfortable communicating with leads, tenants, vendors, and property managers
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and high responsiveness
• Comfortable using systems, trackers, SMS/chat tools, and automation workflows across platforms
• Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes — not just coordinate activity — with strong accountability for results

Why This Role Is Attractive

• Work directly with the owner to help run and scale a multi-market real estate portfolio
• Learn how leasing operations, occupancy, and execution are managed in real time
• Gain exposure to how technology and workflows can drive operational efficiency and competitive edge
• Flexible, part-time role with increasing ownership and responsibility

Please send a resume covering your coursework and relevant experience, your interest in real estate leasing and operations, and one example where you owned or improved a customer, leasing, sales, or operational workflow — and what the outcome was.
