Director of Multifamily Marketing & Revenue Management (LIHTC / HUD / Market Rate)
Salary: $80,000–$90,000
Location: Meriden, CT
Travel: Required (multi-site/portfolio)
About the role:
This is a portfolio rent strategy + affordable housing compliance leadership role with responsibility for multifamily marketing and leasing strategy (not a brand/creative marketing position). You'll own rent setting, rent increases, LIHTC rent tiers, and Section 8 voucher rent optimization across a mixed portfolio of 40 market-rate/unregulated properties and 29 LIHTC communities.
If your background is exclusively digital marketing, social media, content, or design, this role will not be the right fit.
What you'll do
Market-rate / Unregulated portfolio (40 properties)
- Identify specific market properties comparable to the subject properties and determine competitive rent positioning.
- Visit comparable properties as needed.
- Determine new lease rents and maximum tolerable rent increases for existing residents.
- Prepare budgeted rent increase schedules and partner with Accounting for operating budgets.
Regulated / LIHTC portfolio (29 properties)
- Review income limit rent tiers and establish maximum allowable rents by property and tier.
- Determine maximum rent increases for each tier for existing residents.
Section 8 voucher rent optimization (across market-rate + affordable)
- Ensure maximum rents are obtained for mobile Section 8 vouchers.
- Contact voucher issuers to obtain current reasonable rents for comparable units.
- Ensure timely renewals and rent updates at maximum allowable rates.
Policies, procedures, and training
- Review and improve procedures to ensure rent schedules (budgeted and turnover) are implemented correctly in leasing and accounting workflows.
- Revise/adjust procedures as needed to ensure proper implementation of rents for both leasing and accounting purposes.
- Review resident selection policies/procedures and update as needed for regulatory compliance.
- Train site/leasing staff as needed to ensure correct rent implementation and strong leasing execution.
- Establish monitoring processes to confirm rents are implemented accurately across the portfolio.
Marketing & leasing plans (supporting)
- Prepare and implement property marketing plans for sites, including Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plans (AFHMP).
- Use multifamily marketing tools/channels as needed to support occupancy and leasing performance.
What we're looking for (must-haves)
- 5+ years in multifamily housing with direct experience in rent strategy, leasing, revenue management, or portfolio operations.
- Demonstrated experience with LIHTC and HUD/Section 8 environments (rent tiers, compliance-driven rent limits, and/or voucher rent renewals).
- Proven ability to build and execute rent schedules / rent increases / rent optimization across multiple sites.
- Strong process orientation: able to improve workflows across site teams and accounting.
- Strong written/verbal communication and training/coaching ability.
- Bachelor's degree required.
- Willing and able to travel between sites.
Preferred qualifications
- Yardi experience (preferred).
- Affordable housing certifications (preferred): LIHTC/HUD-related credentials (e.g., COS, C3P, HCCP) or equivalent hands-on expertise.
- Familiarity with multifamily marketing/ILS tools as they relate to occupancy performance (preferred).
Why this role
You'll have direct impact on occupancy, revenue performance, and compliance across a large multifamily portfolio—owning the strategy, the process, and the execution support that helps properties perform.
How to apply
Apply with your resume. In your application or resume, please include a brief note on:
- Your experience with LIHTC and/or Section 8 voucher rent renewals, and
- Your experience creating rent schedules / rent increase plans across multiple properties.
