At Percy, we're building new ways to connect talented professionals with meaningful career opportunities at leading companies in the multifamily industry. We're currently seeking a hands-on General Manager to lead operations at a boutique luxury student housing community near the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.

This is a unique opportunity for a detail-driven operator who wants real ownership of a one-of-a-kind “luxury dorm” style asset, not a cookie-cutter apartment community. With a lean onsite team and a marketing-forward strategy, this role is ideal for someone who can balance day-to-day execution with creative thinking, digital marketing insight, and a roll-up-your-sleeves approach during peak leasing and turn.

If you'd like to be considered, please submit a resume for review.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee day-to-day operations for a boutique student housing community with 150+ beds across multiple buildings

  • Lead a lean onsite team and provide hands-on support during peak leasing and turn periods

  • Manage leasing performance and help drive a later, compressed leasing cycle tied to the academic calendar

  • Monitor marketing performance and digital spend, using analytics to recommend adjustments and improve results

  • Coordinate vendor relationships and oversee turn planning, including in-house touch-up work and outsourced services

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of property management leadership experience in student housing or high-volume multifamily

  • Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through in a lean operating environment

  • Comfortable interpreting digital marketing and leasing analytics to guide strategy and spending

  • Creative, proactive mindset with the ability to market a differentiated product to a student audience

  • Experience leading small teams and working cross-functionally with leasing and maintenance

Perks

  • Earn $70,000 to $80,000 in total compensation (base plus bonus potential), with top-end pay around $80,000

  • Opportunity to run a distinctive, boutique student asset with real autonomy over the resident experience and marketing approach

  • Relocation candidates considered

  • Full benefits package including all major insurance, 401k, and PTO

  • Work for a nationwide company that can offer growth and stability
