Rose Associates Inc.

General Manager - 5 Times Square, New York, NY 10036

New York, NY - Full Time

An Iconic Address. A New Era of Manhattan Living.

Rose Associates is seeking an accomplished General Manager to lead one of New York City’s most ambitious office-to-residential transformations. Located in a landmark 38-story Times Square tower, this high-profile redevelopment is planned to deliver up to 1,250 residences alongside approximately 37,000 square feet of retail space.

This is more than a traditional property management role. It’s a rare opportunity to help bring an extraordinary residential destination to life, shape its operational identity, and establish a hospitality-driven experience from the ground up.

Working closely with ownership and senior leadership, you’ll oversee residential operations, navigate the complexities of a mixed-use environment, and build a high-performing team focused on exceptional service and financial performance.

The Opportunity
  • Build Something Exceptional: Lead residential operations through a major conversion and lease-up, establishing service standards, operational infrastructure, and a distinctive resident experience.
  • Own Performance: Direct budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, vendor relationships, and operational initiatives that maximize asset value.
  • Lead the Team: Recruit, develop, and oversee property leadership, building personnel, and leasing operations, including labor relations in unionized environments.
  • Navigate Complexity: Partner with ownership, commercial and retail stakeholders, and internal teams to coordinate building operations, capital projects, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Elevate the Experience: Create a hospitality-driven culture that strengthens resident satisfaction, engagement, and retention.

Who We’re Looking For
  • An experienced NYC real estate leader who combines operational expertise, financial acumen, and a genuine passion for hospitality.
  • 15+ years of multifamily property management experience, including senior leadership responsibilities.
  • Proven experience with luxury residential properties, lease-ups, new construction, or major repositioning projects.
  • Strong understanding of NYC building operations, building systems, regulatory requirements, and union labor relations.
  • Experience managing complex assets, ideally with commercial or retail components.
  • Demonstrated success building teams, managing budgets, and delivering exceptional resident experiences.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and property management platforms, including Yardi, On-Site, and iLuvLeasing.
  • Valid New York State real estate license or ability to obtain one within 120 days of employment. Active license holders must register their license with Rose Associates upon hire.
  • Authorization to work in the United States.
Compensation & Benefits

$225,000 – $250,000 annual base salary, plus significant performance-based incentive compensation opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package.
