- Ensure maximum rents are obtained for mobile Section 8 vouchers .
- Contact voucher issuers to obtain current reasonable rents for comparable units.

- Review and improve procedures to ensure rent schedules (budgeted and turnover) are implemented correctly in leasing and accounting workflows.
- Revise/adjust procedures as needed to ensure proper implementation of rents for both leasing and accounting purposes.
- Review resident selection policies/procedures and update as needed for regulatory compliance.
- Train site/leasing staff as needed to ensure correct rent implementation and strong leasing execution.

- 5+ years in multifamily housing with direct experience in rent strategy, leasing, revenue management, or portfolio operations .
- Demonstrated experience with LIHTC and HUD/Section 8 environments (rent tiers, compliance-driven rent limits, and/or voucher rent renewals).
- Proven ability to build and execute rent schedules / rent increases / rent optimization across multiple sites.
- Strong process orientation: able to improve workflows across site teams and accounting.
- Strong written/verbal communication and training/coaching ability.
- Bachelor’s degree required.
- Willing and able to travel between sites.
