Metropolitan Holdings is looking for an experienced Regional Manager to join our Property Management team and lead a portfolio of luxury Class A multifamily communities throughout Ohio!
We’re looking for a hands-on, people-focused leader who knows how to develop strong teams, drive portfolio performance, create exceptional resident experiences, and turn strategy into results.
The Regional Manager is a highly visible business and people leader responsible for a geographically dispersed portfolio of luxury Class A communities across Ohio, including stabilized assets and new-construction lease-ups. This leader translates strategy into property-level execution, develops strong Community Managers, drives financial and operational performance, and ensures the resident and prospect experience consistently reflects the Metropolitan Holdings brand. The right person combines strong leadership, analytical rigor, sales instincts, hospitality, urgency, and disciplined follow-through - and contributes beyond their portfolio to help elevate and scale the Property Management division.
What You'll Own
Lead, Develop & Motivate High-Performing Teams
- Coach, motivate, develop, and hold Community Managers accountable while building an engaged leadership bench and a culture of ownership, performance, and continuous improvement.
- Lead visibly in the field, set clear expectations, recognize strong performance, address gaps promptly, and model Metropolitan Holdings Core Values and tremendous effort.
Own Portfolio Performance, Financial Results & KPIs
- Know the numbers and know what to do with them. Actively manage revenue, expenses, NOI, occupancy, leasing velocity, conversion, delinquency, retention, reputation, service, turns, staffing, payroll, and other key result areas.
- Use scorecards, dashboards, trend analysis, forecasting, and exception reporting to identify risk early, diagnose root causes, and drive measurable action plans through completion.
- Build a strong, proactive partnership with Accounting and PAC. Treat financial accuracy, forecasting, month-end execution, documentation, deadlines, and clean field-to-accounting processes as shared responsibilities.
Drive Sales, Marketing, Renewals & Resident Retention
- Create a strong sales culture; coach the leasing funnel, CRM discipline, follow-up, conversion, pricing, concessions, outreach, competitive positioning, and marketing effectiveness.
- Own renewal and retention performance from expiration visibility through resident outreach, pricing strategy, renewal conversion, notices to vacate, save opportunities, and move-out analysis.
- Understand multifamily seasonality and plan ahead - adjusting pricing, concessions, marketing, staffing, turn readiness, outreach, and renewal strategy before changing demand impacts results.
Deliver a Luxury Hospitality Experience
- Bring Creating Moments That Matter to life for residents, prospects, vendors, internal customers, and each other. Personally embody the brand and teach teams the importance of a genuine hospitality mindset.
- Ensure every community reflects luxury Class A standards through service, communication, responsiveness, curb appeal, unit readiness, reputation, and thoughtful service recovery.
Solve Problems, Collaborate & Elevate the Business
- Operate as a proactive problem solver: move beyond symptoms, identify root causes, engage the right partners, recommend solutions, establish ownership, and drive sustainable resolution.
- Collaborate across Accounting, Sales & Revenue, Marketing, PAC, Facilities, Human Resources, Development, Construction, and executive leadership to achieve shared company objectives.
- Contribute ideas, best practices, process improvements, technology adoption, and scalable operating standards that strengthen and elevate the Property Management division as Metropolitan Holdings grows.
What Success Looks Like
- Community Managers become stronger, more independent leaders because of your coaching, clarity, and expectations.
- Assigned communities consistently achieve strong financial, operational, leasing, resident-experience, and asset-quality results.
- Performance issues are identified early; KPIs and KRAs are visible, understood, and actively managed with clear corrective actions and no avoidable surprises.
- Lease-ups move toward approved absorption, occupancy, effective-rent, and stabilization targets with disciplined urgency.
- Renewals, resident retention, expiration exposure, and seasonality are managed proactively rather than reactively.
- Creating Moments That Matter is visible in how teams serve residents and prospects, partner with vendors and internal customers, and support one another.
- Accounting and Property Management operate as aligned business partners with accurate information, timely communication, disciplined processes, and strong follow-through.
- You improve the business beyond your assigned portfolio by bringing solutions, sharing best practices, and helping build a stronger, more scalable Property Management platform.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of progressive multifamily property-management experience, including meaningful responsibility for people and property performance; 3+ years of successful Regional Manager-level leadership required.
- Demonstrated success in luxury Class A multifamily operations and new-construction lease-ups; ability to lead multiple communities across geographically dispersed markets.
- Strong financial acumen across budgets, forecasts, financial statements, NOI, revenue management, occupancy economics, concessions, payroll, operating expenses, delinquency, CapEx, accruals, and variance analysis.
- Strong sales, leasing, marketing, renewal, resident-retention, and seasonality-management capabilities, with the ability to turn market conditions and performance data into action.
- Demonstrated proficiency with Yardi Voyager, multifamily CRM/lead-management platforms, Business Intelligence dashboards and market-intelligence tools.
- Intermediate or higher Microsoft Excel proficiency, including formulas/functions, sorting/filtering, data reconciliation, budget templates, pivot-table-level analysis, and operational/financial reporting.
- Exceptional analytical thinking, organization, prioritization, communication, problem solving, collaboration, judgment, urgency, and follow-through.
- A consistently high work ethic and willingness to be hands-on when the business requires it; comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, growth-oriented environment.
- Valid driver license, reliable transportation, and flexibility to travel frequently throughout Ohio, including occasional overnight, early-morning, evening, or weekend needs.

Regional Manager Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a regional manager in Ohio?
Most regional managers in Ohio follow a path from individual contributor to location manager before stepping into a regional role. Ohio does not require a state-issued license specific to the regional manager title, but certain industries add credential requirements: healthcare operations managers may need familiarity with Ohio Department of Health facility standards, while financial services roles often require FINRA registrations. A bachelor's degree in business or a related field is the baseline most Ohio employers expect, and an MBA strengthens candidacy for senior roles.
How much do regional managers make in Ohio?
Regional managers in Ohio earn a median of about $97,700 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,400 for the lowest 10% to over $216,360 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire regional managers in Ohio?
Employers hiring regional managers in Ohio right now include AVI Foodsystems, Lakeshore Learning Materials, and Vertiv, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Ohio's concentration of retail headquarters, distribution centers, and regional insurance offices means openings appear consistently across consumer, logistics, and financial services sectors.
Which Ohio cities have the most regional manager jobs?
Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati lead Ohio for regional manager openings. Columbus drives volume through its dense mix of corporate headquarters, major retail chains, and logistics hubs, while Cleveland and Cincinnati generate demand from healthcare systems, manufacturing, and financial services employers that operate large Ohio footprints and need managers overseeing multiple area locations.
Are there remote regional manager jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're limited. Regional managers are typically expected to visit and oversee physical locations, which makes fully remote arrangements uncommon for most industries. About 74% of regional manager openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to concentrate in roles where the oversight function is primarily analytical, such as regional sales management or account-based territory roles rather than multi-unit operations.
How can I get hired as a regional manager in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is becoming a store, branch, or department manager first. Large Ohio employers like Kroger, Fifth Third Bank, and OhioHealth regularly promote from within, and applying to their assistant manager or team lead openings is a direct way in. Lateral moves from operations coordinator or district support roles also open doors. Completing an MBA or a management certificate from an Ohio university strengthens candidacy noticeably, and any experience owning a P&L, even at a small scale, accelerates the transition.
Where can I find and apply to regional manager jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to regional manager jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across industries and metros. Search the listings to see roles that match your background, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
