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 strong 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 current 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 robust city teams
Develop institutional and local partnerships
Identify and execute current 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.

About Zolo and Student Living

Finding dependable accommodation has historically been fragmented and inconsistent.

Students and parents often have to choose between location, affordability, safety, quality, convenience, and community.
