Description


The Berkeley Group is a lifestyle brand which provides beautifully designed co-living student housing communities in the heart of Berkeley, and we're on track to welcome thousands of students to our communities over the coming years. Our mission is to make quality student housing accessible within one of the greatest academic institutions in the world. We do that by building and renovating beautifully designed co-living student housing communities — a unique and modern approach where you can live with great people near the University and within the City you love.

You will also manage Resident renewals to ensure maximum occupancy. This role requires high energy, great communication skills and a commitment to provide the greatest customer-facing experience to our Residents – both new and existing. The skills needed for this role involve sales, customer service and marketing. Our portfolio of communities are all situated within walking distance to the UC Berkeley campus, and host a diverse and wide-range demographic of University students.
