Resident Experience Manager

At Cortland, you map the story of your success. We don’t adhere to the status quo, we love outside industry perspective, and we thrive on exploring possibilities and reimagining solutions. As an innovative leader in multifamily, our high performance continues to drive exponential growth – and we invite you to join us on our journey towards real estate excellence. With tools and guidance to sharpen your skills, you can forge your own career path, love what you do, and let it show.

As a Resident Experience Manager, you lead all associates onsite in the development and implementation of strategic resident services programs for a multimillion dollar, multifamily apartment home community.

• The Resident Ambassador
  • Go beyond expectations to make living at your community relaxed, easy, and unlike any other apartment experience.
  • Research new resident amenities, activities, and loyalty programs that can help add value to your community and drive incremental revenue.
  • Represent the Cortland brand by embodying our mission, vision, and values – and infusing them into resident programs and relations.
  • Manage resident communication initiatives, effectively identifying and sharing meaningful information.
• The Data Driver
  • Keep your finger on the pulse of resident satisfaction levels to make sure we are delivering everything our residents expect.
  • Update and monitor performance management dashboards that measure renewal rates, resident satisfaction, move-ins/move-outs, traffic activity, closing ratios, application statuses, and other key community metrics.
  • Research and help establish programs for each phase of the resident lifecycle — from lease signing to renewal.
  • Maintain a database of proven best practices for resident experience programs.
• The Team Player
  • Guide your team in the creation of meaningful resident experience programs by creating tactical plans and evaluating community performance.
  • Inspire your community colleagues to continually strengthen resident event strategies.
  • Partner with teams from other communities to deepen the company’s relationship with residents and achieve resident retention goals.
  • Serve as a go-to resource for community teams and portfolio leadership.

Your reputation as a hands-on manager and decisive tactician grows daily, and the Community Manager feels totally confident leaving you to run the community during absences. Your team is ground zero for great ideas that spread to our other communities in the region. Colleagues seek your advice on how to best deploy project/program management technology to enhance their operational performance.
