City PnL Head – Coliving Zolo | Coliving Business Own the city. Drive occupancy. Build systems. Deliver predictable growth. Why this role exists In coliving, a city is not just a geography. It is a full business unit with its own demand, occupancy, cost structure, customer experience, and operational complexity. At city level:
• Demand fluctuates continuously
• Supply is fragmented across multiple properties
• Resident expectations evolve constantly
• Execution gaps immediately affect occupancy and retention Without strong city-level ownership, operations quickly become reactive. The biggest failures usually happen when:
• Occupancy is managed week-to-week instead of structurally
• Sales and operations work independently instead of as one system
• Cost leakages go unnoticed
• Accountability weakens across teams
• Escalations consume operational bandwidth daily As scale increases, the city must operate with:
• Predictability
• Commercial discipline
• Structured execution
• Strong leadership ownership This role exists to ensure:
• The city runs like a disciplined business unit
• Occupancy remains stable across cycles
