Area Manager - Sales
Student Living | Zolo
Own the city. Grow the business. Deliver the experience.

Offered CTC: 12 - 15 LPA

Why this role exists
Student Living is not just about operating residences.
Each city is a business that needs to consistently acquire students, maintain robust occupancy, deliver a reliable living experience, control costs, and build relationships that enable long-term growth.
As the business scales, success in each city depends on having one leader who sees the complete picture and takes accountability for the overall outcome.
The City Head exists to own the city as a business.
This means bringing together:
- Revenue and occupancy
- Student acquisition and sales
- Property operations
- Customer experience
- Cost and profitability
- Team performance
- Institutional and local relationships
- New property ramp-up and city growth

If this role is strong, the city grows profitably, properties remain occupied, students have a strong experience, teams execute consistently, and new opportunities are identified early.
If this role is weak,



functions operate in silos, occupancy suffers, costs increase, customer issues escalate, and growth becomes difficult to sustain.

Your mandate is clear
- Own the complete P&L; for the city
- Deliver revenue, occupancy, and profitability targets
- Drive student acquisition and business growth
- Ensure properties operate consistently and efficiently
- Own the end-to-end student experience
- Build and lead strong city teams
- Develop institutional and local partnerships
- Identify and execute new growth opportunities
- Build a city business that can scale sustainably

This is not a functional role.
It is end-to-end ownership of the city business.
