The posting

Yugo is a global student living brand creating communities where students can settle in, connect and thrive. With a growing U.S. portfolio and a global network spanning markets around the world, we combine global experience with strong local leadership to deliver exceptional student living experiences and high-performing communities for our partners.

As we continue to grow our U.S. platform, we are looking for an Senior Vice President of Operations to lead the performance, people, and operational strategy behind more than 40 student housing communities across the country. This leader will also play an important role in strengthening our third-party management business, developing trusted relationships with owners and clients, supporting new business opportunities, and successfully integrating new management assignments into the portfolio.

Reporting to the President and working in close partnership with Facilities and Leasing leadership, the EVP of Operations serves as a key member of the U.S. leadership team with overall accountability for portfolio performance, operational strategy, financial results, resident experience, client relationships, and the leadership and development of the U.S. Operations organization.

This is a highly visible leadership role for a candidate who can operate at scale while remaining connected to the business. The SVP will lead through senior and regional operations leaders, establish clear performance expectations across the portfolio, and ensure strategy translates into consistent execution at the property level.
