Yardi Consultant - Residential Implementations & Advisory

33Floors•Charlotte, NC

1d•$85,000•Remote

About The Position

33Floors is hiring a Yardi Consultant to lead multifamily owners, operators, and third-party managers across the US and Canada through complex Yardi implementations, platform migrations, optimizations, upgrades, and advisory engagements. Our multifamily clients arrive from every direction: conversions off RealPage/OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio, MRI, ResMan, and Rent Manager; consolidations of multiple Yardi databases into a single platform (Yardi-to-Yardi); and new module rollouts onto an existing Voyager footprint. You should be credible and comfortable in any of those conversations, and able to learn the data model of an unfamiliar source system quickly. This role sits at the intersection of Yardi, multifamily property operations, and property accounting. Our book of business spans both conventional/market-rate and affordable portfolios in the US and Canada, so you should be comfortable moving between a market-rate lease-up, a LIHTC or HUD-subsidized asset, and a Canadian portfolio operating under provincial rent regulation and rent-geared-to-income programs. Student, senior, and single-family/BTR exposure is a plus. You may come from consulting, a Yardi product owner role, business systems leadership, or an internal implementation leadership role — but you must have hands-on experience delivering Yardi solutions, not simply using Yardi as an end user. We are looking for a self-starter. You will own engagements: build the plan, drive it, chase the open items, and raise risks early rather than waiting to be handed the next step. You will also be client-facing from day one — leading discovery, running workshops with regional managers and controllers, presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders, and mentoring junior consultants as you go.

Requirements

Deep hands-on experience with Yardi residential environments — Voyager 8 and RentCafe at minimum; North American multifamily operating or accounting experience strongly preferred
Demonstrated onboarding or migration experience from at least one non-Yardi platform (RealPage/OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio, MRI, ResMan, Rent Manager, or similar), including source-data extraction, mapping, and reconciliation
Experience with Yardi-to-Yardi conversions, database consolidations, or multi-entity Voyager environments
Hands-on experience across both conventional/market-rate and affordable portfolios, and a working understanding of how US and Canadian regulatory requirements change the configuration
Working knowledge of North American multifamily property accounting — rent roll, AR and aging, resident ledgers, security deposits, GPR and loss-to-lease, month-end close, GL and bank reconciliation, and budgets
Excellent client-facing communication — able to hold a call with a controller, a regional VP, and an IT director on the same line and adjust register for each
Self-starter who operates with minimal oversight in a remote, distributed team and drives engagements to closure
Experience mentoring, coaching, or developing less experienced consultants or analysts
Experience leading or playing a senior role in full-cycle system implementations, upgrades, optimizations, or complex module rollouts
Strong discovery and requirements-gathering skills, including the ability to document business processes and translate them into system solutions
Strong project management instincts, including the ability to manage competing priorities, risks, deadlines, and client expectations
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business, Real Estate, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Ability to travel occasionally for client workshops, training, and go-lives (Up to 25%)

Nice To Haves

Deep conventional US multifamily experience — market-rate lease-ups, renewals, and the full prospect-to-resident lifecycle — with a clear grasp of how CRM Flex, CRM IQ, RentCafe, and Voyager fit together: guest cards and traffic sources, ILS feeds, online leasing and application-to-lease handoff, resident portal payments and service requests, and the shared setup and data dependencies between them
Affordable housing compliance depth — LIHTC, HUD, Section 8, and state agency programs in the US; rent-geared-to-income, provincial rent regulation, and municipal or provincial housing programs in Canada
Experience configuring or troubleshooting revenue management, Procure to Pay, VendorCafe/VendorShield, or BlueMoon in a live portfolio
Student, senior, or single-family/BTR portfolio experience
SQL Server proficiency — queries, ETL, and data validation — plus reporting tools such as YSR, SSRS, or Yardi Report Designer, and Excel or Python for data transformation
Experience implementing residential integrations: screening, payments, utility billing, renters insurance, smart home, revenue management, or AP automation
Prior consulting, professional services, or client-facing advisory experience
Experience as a Yardi product owner, business systems leader, implementation lead, or business relationship manager in a real estate organization
Experience working with external consultants, Yardi teams, internal IT, accounting, asset management, and operations stakeholders
Experience working in a global or distributed delivery model
Self-motivated individual who demonstrates attention to detail, a passion for problem-solving and customer service, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment with a dynamic small team.
