Flexibility in scheduling is essential, including availability for on-call duties during evenings, weekends, and holidays. This position's responsibilities can occasionally require travel for support, training, or meetings.

Greystar offers robust benefits for full-time employees, including competitive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance plans with reduced employee costs over tenure; generous paid time off arrangements starting with 15 vacation days and increasing with tenure; special discounts for onsite housing at Greystar-managed communities; a 6-week paid sabbatical every 5 years after the first 10 years of service; a 401(k) plan with company match; paid parental leave including fertility benefit reimbursements; employee assistance programs; supplemental insurance options; and charitable giving benefits.
