Portfolio Manager – Downtown Portland Portfolio

Portland, OR | Full-Time | $70,000–$80,000 per year

About Us

Arboreal Management is the property management arm of Great Expectations, a mission-driven real estate investment firm focused on providing affordable, innovative, and profitable housing throughout the Pacific Northwest.

We manage over 6,000 apartment homes and are growing quickly. We believe in collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and building communities, not just buildings. Our team is small, driven, and committed to changing how housing works.

About the Role

We're looking for a Portfolio Manager to oversee our Downtown Portland portfolio. This is an opportunity to lead a talented team, shape strategy, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of hundreds of residents.

Why This Role Stands Out

- Impact and Mission: Your work directly improves housing access and quality for people in your community.
- Leadership and Growth: You'll lead a skilled team while collaborating closely with senior leadership in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment.
- Variety and Challenge: No two days are the same. You'll drive leasing success, oversee maintenance, ensure compliance, and improve operations.
- Culture and Support: We rely on data-driven decisions, respectful resident relationships, and a team-first approach.

What You'll Do

- Own the Portfolio: Lead day-to-day operations across the Downtown Portland properties, including leasing, pricing, compliance, and maintenance.
- Guide the Team: Manage and mentor leasing, administrative, and maintenance staff to help them hit goals and grow professionally.
- Drive Performance: Manage NOI, financial reporting, and Section 8 paperwork with precision and care.
- Improve Operations: Identify opportunities for improvement and lead light rehab projects as needed.
- Collaborate: Partner with our accounting team, senior leaders, and vendors to deliver consistent results.

What You'll Bring

- 2+ years of property management experience, ideally across multiple properties.
- Demonstrated leadership skills and the ability to build strong, effective teams.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
- A data-oriented, problem-solving mindset.
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
- Affordable housing experience preferred (e.g., Section 8, LIHTC, or similar programs).

What We Offer

- Competitive compensation and benefits package.
- A leadership role in a growing, mission-driven organization.
- The opportunity to shape and optimize operations with strong executive backing.
- A collaborative team culture that values innovation, excellence, and integrity.
