About The Position

As Traveling Lease Up Specialist, you are responsible for driving the day-to-day marketing and leasing at communities starting at 180 days prior to Certificate of Occupancy (CO) and until the community reaches qualified occupancy. This is a high-volume, closing-driven, and travel-intensive role requiring strong sales discipline, organization, and the ability to balance speed with regulatory compliance. You will support multiple communities as assigned, serving as a temporary on-site leasing and marketing expert during critical early stages of operations. Successful candidates are energized by goals, thrive in changing environments, enjoy travel, and are motivated by the opportunity to deliver high quality affordable housing to residents quickly, accurately, and with integrity. A competitive performance-based incentive is available when monthly move in targets are achieved: 18 move ins for senior communities or 30 move ins for workforce communities, with each community evaluated independently. This role requires approximately 50% - 80% travel, including extended stays at assigned communities. Weekend stays are rare but to meet month end deadlines and achieve performance goals, they can be approved by the supervisor.
