Student housing operator managing 70+ colleges across 24 states
Campus Apartments operates one of the largest student housing portfolios in the US, with $2B in assets and presence in 24 states serving 70+ institutions. The tech stack is operational—Excel, Word, Entrata property management, CMMS maintenance software, plus SQL and Python—reflecting a business centered on execution rather than software innovation. Hiring is overwhelmingly operations-focused (177 ops roles against 27 sales and 9 engineering), and active projects cluster around occupancy and retention (renewal reporting, resident retention programs, marketing efficiency). This hiring and project mix suggests the core operational challenge is maximizing occupancy and reducing resident churn across a large, geographically dispersed portfolio.
