VP of Property Operations in Indianapolis, Indiana at Responsive Asset Management

About the Organizations

Responsive Capital Ventures and Responsive Asset Management operate as one unified platform with a singular purpose: transforming the way people build and protect wealth through real estate.

We don’t view this as two separate companies. We operate as one business built on three core legs of the stool:

• Investments (RCV)

• Property Operations (RAM)

• Business Enablement (IT, HR, Marketing, and Finance)

This structure allows us to control the entire lifecycle from capital to execution to performance.

Today, that platform is backed by 50+ team members and ~$25M in annual revenue. More importantly, it’s built on a culture for people who want to do meaningful work at a high level.

On the investment side, Responsive Capital Ventures focuses on helping high earners convert active income into long-term, sustainable wealth through real estate. We take a disciplined approach to capital, risk, and execution. The goal isn’t just returns. It's consistency, protection, and long-term alignment.

On the operations side, Responsive Asset Management is where the business plan comes to life. This is boots-on-the-ground execution by driving occupancy, managing expenses, executing capex, and creating communities residents are proud to call home while protecting and growing the asset.

The third leg is Business Enablement, which is what keeps everything aligned and moving. IT, HR, Marketing, and Finance. This is the infrastructure that allows us to scale without breaking and maintain a consistent standard across the entire platform.

Most groups talk about being vertically integrated. We actually operate that way.

We don’t just deploy capital. We don’t just manage properties.

We build stability…one door at a time.

Position Summary

The Vice President of Property Operations is a Leadership Team seat on the unified RAM/RCV Accountability Chart, accountable for the Property Operations business unit P&L and for portfolio performance across all assets. The business unit includes four functions reporting into this seat: Construction/CapEx, Maintenance, Portfolio Performance, and Resident Experience. The business unit P&L rolls up to the consolidated company P&L owned by the Integrator/COO.

Reporting to the Integrator/COO, the VP translates RAM and RCV’s Visions and Traction (V/TOs) into the Property Operations business unit — converting company-level strategy into the systems, teams, Scorecards, and Rocks that move NOI, asset value, and resident experience. The VP runs a healthy weekly Level 10 with their direct reports, owns the Scorecard for the business unit, and uses IDS to keep issues moving.

This is a strategic operator role — someone who can Lead, Manage, and hold Accountable (LMA) at scale while staying close enough to the work to know what’s actually happening on the ground. Above all, this seat is expected to embody and enforce the STABLE Core Values shared across RAM and RCV — not as posters on the wall, but as the standard every decision, hire, and conversation is held to.

Our Core Values — STABLE

STABLE is non-negotiable.

Every person at RAM and RCV is hired against these values, evaluated against these values, and — when necessary — exited against these values. As a Leadership Team seat, the VP of Property Operations is expected to live STABLE visibly, coach their team to it, and protect the standard across the entire business unit. A team member who consistently underperforms against STABLE is in the wrong seat, regardless of results.

Show Up & Own It

We take full responsibility for our commitments. We show up prepared, engaged, and ready to deliver — no excuses, no shortcuts.

T

Take Action

We are a bias-toward-action team. We move with urgency, make decisions with confidence, and course-correct as we learn.

A

Always Growing

We are curious, coachable, and committed to continuous improvement — personally and professionally. Growth is a standard, not an aspiration.

Be Real

We communicate with honesty and transparency. We say what we mean, own our mistakes, and build trust through authenticity.

L

Lead with Humility

We check our egos at the door. We listen first, elevate others, and recognize that the best ideas can come from anywhere.

E

Excellence in Everything

We hold ourselves to a high standard in everything we produce, every relationship we build, and every promise we make.

The VP’s Responsibility for STABLE

• Model all six values consistently and visibly — your team will only hold the standard you hold yourself to.

• Use STABLE as the first filter in every hiring, promotion, and termination decision in the business unit.

• Score every direct report on STABLE quarterly via the People Analyzer; address gaps directly, not eventually.

• Call out value breaches in real time, regardless of seniority or performance — silence is endorsement.

• Recognize and celebrate when team members live the values well; reinforcement is part of the job.

Direct Reports & Business Unit Ownership

The VP of Property Operations owns the following four seats and everything reporting below them on the Accountability Chart:

• Director of Construction — owns CapEx execution; manages CapEx Coach and CapEx Tech.

• Director of Maintenance — owns maintenance operations and preventative programs; manages Maintenance Coach and Maintenance Tech.

• Portfolio Performance Coach — owns rent growth, leasing performance, and ancillary income; manages Sales/Leasing Specialist, Resident Concierge, and Tenant Financial Advocate.

• Resident Experience Coach — owns resident experience, retention, and on-site operational standards.

The VP holds these four direct reports accountable to their seats using the People Analyzer (GWC + Core Values), weekly Level 10s, quarterly conversations, and annual reviews.
