Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

About Us We're an institutional single-family rental operator with properties across 10+ U.S. markets, focused on Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher tenants. We have listings that need eyes on them and voucher holders who need units. Your job: get our properties in front of as many renters as possible and pull back contact information. You are the top of the funnel. Our leasing agents will handle the calls, the qualifying, and the showings — you feed them names and phone numbers, all day, every day. Full-time, 40 hrs/week, long-term. Not a project. What You'll Do Lead Generation (the core of the job) Post, refresh, and maintain listings across AffordableHousing.com, Facebook Marketplace, and local/regional Facebook rental groups Run high-volume outbound template email outreach to voucher holders on AffordableHousing.com Respond to inbound platform messages same-day with the goal of capturing a phone number and email Distribute available listings to our housing authority and agency contacts, and keep those relationships supplied with current inventory Find and join new distribution channels — groups, boards, agency lists — and expand our reach market by market Log every lead into our tracker with complete contact information Route leads to the correct leasing agent by market and confirm the handoff landed Pull listings down the moment a unit is leased This is a volume role. Success is measured in leads delivered per week. Reporting (you own this): Deliver a weekly leasing department report: leads generated by source, by market, by property; listing activity; response times; handoff volume by agent; conversion from lead to lease Maintain the underlying data — clean, current, no gaps Flag problems before we ask: dead listings, dry markets, channels that stopped producing, handoffs sitting untouched What You Won't Do: No phone calls No qualifying, showings, or applications — our agents own that No tenant relations or property management Must Have 2+ years in residential leasing, property management, or real estate lead generation Proven high-volume outreach: hundreds of messages per week, sustained Demonstrated ownership of recurring reporting — you've built and delivered a weekly or monthly report someone above you actually read Strong Google Sheets / Excel: pivot tables, lookups, clean dashboards Fluent, professional written English Full-time availability with substantial daily overlap to U.S. Central time CRM experience Nice to Have: Section 8 / HCV or AffordableHousing.com experience Experience posting across Facebook rental groups at scale without triggering bans Multi-market experience Spanish Location: Open worldwide. We hire on capability, not geography — U.S. Central overlap is firm. To Apply Start your proposal with the word VOUCHER. Answer all five: 1. Describe your highest-volume lead generation role. How many leads did you generate per week, from which channels, and how were they tracked? 2. Which listing platforms have you personally posted on and managed? Name them. Then: a listing has been live 7 days with zero inquiries. Walk us through exactly what you do. 3. A prospect messages "Is this still available?" — write your actual reply, word for word. Your only goal is to get their phone number. 4. Describe a recurring report you built and owned. What system held the data, what metrics were on it, who received it, and what decision did it drive? Attach a sanitized sample if you have one. 5. How do you find new places to post? Give a specific example of a channel you discovered and what it produced. Proposals that skip questions or answer generically will not be reviewed.
