Lease Up Coordinator

About the role

The Outbound Leasing Coordinator is the front of the lease-up funnel. This role is responsible for converting a 6,000+ name lottery list into qualified appointments at the Hunterdon County property by running a disciplined outbound cadence of calls, texts, and emails. The role is fully remote and works under the supervision of the onsite Community Manager. This is a high-velocity, scripted role. Success is measured by daily contact volume, first-response time, and appointments set — not by closing leases. Leases are closed downstream by Intake and Compliance.

Responsibilities

• Execute 45–60 meaningful outbound touches per day (calls, texts, emails, CRM notes) against an assigned segment of the lottery list.
• Sustain 10–15 live conversations per day and set 1–2 qualified appointments per day for the Intake Specialist.
• Respond to inbound leads in under 15 minutes during business hours, per the response-time SLA.
• Run an 8–12 touch nurture cadence over 21 days for every assigned name; document every touch in the CRM with disposition codes.
• Use Conifer-approved scripts, Fair Housing-compliant language, and lottery/eligibility pre-screening questions on every call.
• Schedule appointments directly into the Intake Specialist's calendar with full lead notes attached (household size, income range, language preference, urgency).
• Confirm appointments 24 hours and 2 hours prior to reduce no-show fallout.
• Participate in the daily 15-minute pipeline standup hosted by the Community Manager.
• Escalate complex eligibility, accessibility, or compliance questions to the Community Manager — never improvise on policy.
• This is not a closing role: Coordinators do not run intake interviews, collect documents, or determine eligibility.
• This is not a discretionary outreach role: Scripts, cadences, and SLAs are non-negotiable.
