Rockstar is recruiting for a holding company that acquires and grows the nation’s leading property management firms. They sit at the center of one of the largest and most fragmented markets in the country – residential real estate – with hundreds of thousands of potential acquisition targets and opportunities to deliver services across the ecosystem of residents, owners, and properties. The Role The company’s Bay Area Platform, a fast-growing property management firm with over 5,000 units under management, is acquiring another scaled property management platform, “Target,” which manages several thousand units. Target has a multi-decade history in the local market, with long-standing client relationships and a long-tenured team. The General Manager (GM) will lead Target as a business unit within the Bay Area Platform, with direct responsibility for Target's clients, team, and P&L. This involves inheriting a founder-led organization and evolving it into a profitable and scalable business. Success requires protecting client and employee relationships, while driving operational efficiency and an eventual integration of back-office functions and technology into the larger platform. The GM will report directly to the CEO & Founder of the Bay Area Platform and will collaborate with other key executives at the company. In addition, the GM will work closely with the holding company team on operational and growth initiatives across the Bay Area market. What You’ll Do Lead the Business Set the long-term strategy for Target , establish the tactical business plan, and create the framework to track progress against the plan. Set a high standard for performance across the organization, and hold the team accountable to collective and individual results. Lead from the field, not the spreadsheet. Spend time on property visits, client meetings, and with on-site teams so that every decision is grounded in how the business actually runs. Navigate Transition Build trust with Target’s owners. The sale of Target is one of the most consequential decisions of their careers, and their ongoing support will be critical for a successful transition. Take ownership of key client relationships. Meet the largest clients and establish yourself as the new point of contact. Client retention is the most important business metric. Assume all management responsibilities over Target’s team. Communicate clearly and establish credibility in a vulnerable moment of change – some team members have spent multiple decades at the company. Drive Growth & Profitability Drive continued growth in Target’s units under management by adding new clients and expanding with existing ones. Grow revenue per unit by attaching additional services including maintenance, resident benefits, and insurance. Identify areas of inefficiency in Target’s business model, and execute on a plan to address them. Optimize Target’s business to increase its profitability while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction and minimizing churn. Pursue long-term efficiencies through selective integration between Target and the broader Bay Area Platform. Areas of opportunity will likely include back-office functions (e.g., finance, HR) and technology consolidation.
