Property Manager – Apartment Community in St. Petersburg, FL

Leasing & Office Lead — Atlas at Bay Point | Fortiva Residential Energetic. Driven. Ready to grow with us.

Are you the kind of person who lights up a room, closes a tour with a smile, and actually enjoys getting things done? If yes — keep reading. We're hiring at one of our smaller communities, and this role has serious runway.

About Fortiva Residential

Fortiva Residential is a property management company building apartment communities residents are proud to call home. We move fast, we keep our promises, and we believe great communities are built by great people. Our team is dynamic, results-driven, and genuinely invested in each other's success.

What we stand for: keeping our word, treating residents with respect, maintaining clean and welcoming communities, and solving problems the right way — the first time.

The Opportunity

You'll run the leasing office at Atlas at Bay Point, a 136-unit community currently stabilized at 84 occupied units while 52 units undergo post-hurricane reconstruction. Within the next 12 months, we'll be kicking off a full lease-up of those rebuilt units — meaning you'll be on the front lines of one of the most exciting chapters in this property's history. If you've ever wanted to point at a full community and say "I leased that up," this is your shot.

You'll be the primary face of the community, partnering closely with your on-site maintenance team, your Regional Manager, and corporate support.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real promotion path. Strong performers move up — to larger properties or into corporate roles. We promote from within whenever we can.
• Sponsored training & certifications. We'll back your professional development with training and industry certifications. Want your CAM, CALP? Let's talk.
• You'll see your impact. Smaller community = your work shows up in occupancy numbers, resident satisfaction, and renewal rates. No getting lost in the shuffle.
• A team that has your back. You'll work independently, but you're never on an island.

Schedule & Setup

Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (1-hour unpaid lunch). On-site leasing office.

What You'll Own

Leasing

• Conduct apartment tours and follow up with prospects (same-day response is the standard)
• Process rental applications
• Drive strong occupancy and renewal rates
• Help lead the upcoming 52-unit lease-up

Resident Relations

• Build genuine relationships with residents and applicants
• Address concerns quickly and coordinate clean solutions
• Champion lease renewals and a five-star resident experience

Community Operations

• Conduct move-in, move-out, and periodic unit inspections
• Coordinate work orders and Make-Readys with maintenance staff

Compensation & Benefits

• $24–$26/hour, paid bi-weekly
• $75 per new lease + $25 per renewal in commissions
• PTO, health insurance, and 401(k) after 90-day trial period
• Stable, full-time position with a clear path to grow

Who We're Looking For

You're high-energy, positive, and bring a strong work ethic to the table every day. You sell naturally because you genuinely like people. You're sharp on the administrative side — organized, detail-obsessed, and reliable. You think like an executive: you take ownership, solve problems, and don't wait to be told what to do.

You'll thrive here if you have:

• A track record in leasing, property management
• Strong sales instincts and people skills
• Top-tier organization and follow-through
• Comfort with property management software and standard office tools
• The maturity to work independently and the drive to keep raising the bar

This Role Is NOT for You If…

• You don't like sales or selling
• You prefer a slow pace or minimal resident interaction
• You're uncomfortable juggling multiple responsibilities solo
• Detail and organization aren't your strengths

How to Apply

Send your resume along with a short note telling us why you'd be a strong fit and where you want to be in 3 years. Candidates who introduce themselves thoughtfully get priority consideration.
