About The Position

• Proven Scale: Track record of managing a $500M+ P&L and a multi-layered workforce of 500+ employees.
• Educational Background: MBA or equivalent business degree is highly preferred.
• Change Management: Demonstrated expertise in leading large-scale technological or operational shifts within a legacy organization.
• Mobility: Must be located in the market, with ability to travel extensively throughout the D.C.-to-Boston corridor and relocate as needed for future role growth. Relocation is available.

• Champion and oversee the divisional rollout of Public Storage’s digitization roadmap, ensuring high adoption of eRental and automated customer platforms to improve operational leverage.
• Act as the primary field liaison for corporate departments (Marketing, HR, Pricing, and Asset Management) to refine corporate strategies based on regional market nuances and logistical challenges.
• Standardize and enforce best-in-class operational protocols across a massive, geographically dispersed portfolio to ensure brand consistency and "remarkable" customer experiences.
• Lead localized human capital strategies to navigate the competitive hiring landscapes of both major metros and rural markets.
