  • Arboreal Management
  • Seattle, WA

Job Description

Arboreal is not a traditional property management company.

We are a technology-enabled, operator-led platform built specifically to manage complex affordable and mixed-income housing at scale — and to do it better than the status quo. We manage thousands of units across the Pacific Northwest, with a portfolio that is heavily LIHTC, HUD, and deeply regulated. We are growing quickly, and we invest aggressively in systems, compliance rigor, and people.

This role exists because affordable housing deserves senior-level operators with real authority — not stretched “firefighters” reacting to audits and crises.

If you are an experienced affordable housing leader who:

  • Is tired of broken systems and underpowered support,

  • Wants real backing from ownership and technology,

  • Cares deeply about compliance and operational excellence,

...this role is designed for you.

What Makes Arboreal Different

We build the platform affordable operators wish they had:

  • Compliance is central, not an afterthought

  • Dedicated compliance leadership, standardized files, proactive audit prep, and clear escalation paths.

  • Technology that actually reduces chaos

  • Proprietary tools for inspections, evictions, reporting, documentation, and workflow — built by operators, not vendors.

  • Centralized support that works

  • Leasing, accounting, legal, and offshore operations teams designed to take pressure off site staff so they can focus on residents and performance.

  • Leadership that understands affordable housing

We develop, own, and manage affordable assets ourselves. This is not a third-party platform guessing from the sidelines. We have a culture of accountability and clarity and leadership that backs its people.

The Role: Senior Regional Manager – Affordable

This is a true senior leadership role overseeing a portfolio of affordable and mixed-income communities with layered financing.

You will have real authority over site teams, direct influence over compliance outcomes, and a seat at the table with executive leadership. You are not just “keeping properties afloat” — you are setting the standard for how affordable housing is run.

Core Responsibilities

Portfolio & People Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and hold accountable Property Managers and site teams across a regional affordable portfolio

  • Build strong bench strength and reduce burnout through clarity, structure, and support

  • Partner closely with maintenance, compliance, accounting, and centralized operations

Affordable Housing Compliance (Non-Negotiable)

  • Own compliance performance across LIHTC (9% & 4%), HUD, HOME, and layered subsidy programs

  • Ensure clean, audit-ready files and consistent application of income limits, student rules, and set-asides

  • Anticipate compliance risk and resolve issues before agencies or investors do

  • Act as a senior point of escalation for complex compliance questions

Operational & Financial Execution

  • Drive occupancy, collections, delinquency reduction, and unit turns

  • Review budgets, forecasts, and variances with real operational insight

  • Balance compliance rigor with practical, resident-focused operations

Owner, Investor & Agency Interface

  • Represent Arboreal with owners, asset managers, lenders, and housing agencies

  • Translate complexity into confidence — internally and externally

Systems & Scale

  • Help refine SOPs, training, and standards as the platform grows

  • Support acquisitions, lease-ups, and transitions of affordable assets

Who Thrives Here

This role is for someone who:

  • Has deep LIHTC and HUD experience and is confident making judgment calls

  • Wants structure, support, and seriousness — not heroics

  • Is comfortable leading strong Property Managers and holding the line on standards

  • Believes affordable housing should be run with the same rigor as market-rate (or better)

Required Experience

  • 7+ years in multifamily property management with substantial affordable housing focus

  • Direct LIHTC compliance experience (required)

  • Strong working knowledge of HUD programs and layered financing

  • Multi-property or regional leadership experience

  • Proven success with audits, agency reviews, and operational turnarounds

Preferred

  • COS / HCCP certifications

  • Experience in WA, OR, or similarly regulated states

  • Background in growing or institutional platforms

What You Get

  • A senior seat in a company that actually invests in affordable housing operations

  • Real leverage: systems, staff, and leadership support

  • The chance to help define what “good” looks like at scale

  • A platform built for people who care about doing this work well
