About Us

SAIL is a crew of high-performing property pros—asset optimizers and experience creators—who treat every community like a boutique hotel. We pair data-driven discipline with concierge-level service, building thriving resident communities and iron-clad owner partnerships. Our four core values guide every decision:

• Give Your Personal Best
• Operate with Intellectual Curiosity
• Value Relationships
• Show Up with Enthusiasm

About the Role

 We’re looking for a hands-on, results-driven Business Manager to oversee a two-property portfolio in South Minneapolis, both totaling 115 units. You’ll ensure operational excellence, meeting performance goals, and delivering legendary resident experiences across both locations. Both properties have been built in the last few years, have beautiful thoughtful finishes and are very appealing! 

What You’ll Do

• Operational Leadership – Oversee day-to-day operations, budgets, occupancy goals, and collections for both properties
• People Management – Set clear expectations with the assigned Maintenance Tech, and hold accountable to standards, drive daily and weekly meetings to stay on top of property goals
• Resident Experience – Be the visible face of the community, resolving resident concerns quickly and positively
• Revenue Growth – Partner with marketing and leasing to maintain high occupancy, strong renewal rates, and competitive pricing strategies
• Property Standards – Ensure both properties are safe, code-compliant, and maintained to SAIL’s high standards
• Compliance – Uphold Fair Housing and company policies; maintain readiness for inspections and audits
• Leasing - You are a leasing pro, can give tours and drive occupancy with the best! Our corporate leasing team can offer some support, but in this role, you will own occupancy at both locations.
