Self storage might be the most underrated corner of the couples job market. Many facilities are built with a manager's apartment right on site, and owners like having a couple there. Two people can keep the office open, watch the property after hours and step in for each other on days off.

Not seeing the perfect opportunity today?
Job listings by nature are temporary. This is why a job search can’t be a one time situation. If you really want to find the perfect couples position, you have to watch what becomes available over a period of time.
We can’t predict the future job listings in this section, but if you want to see the types of positions you can expect over time, we suggest you take a look at the archived jobs. These jobs are not currently open, but we keep the titles and descriptions available, so that you can get a better feel for the jobs that do get posted in this category and/or location.
Self storage resident manager jobs mix sales, customer service and hands-on property care. The office side means renting units, answering calls, processing payments, following up on late accounts and handling the paperwork behind lien sales and auctions. The property side means walking the facility, checking locks, cleaning out vacated units, keeping gates and lights working, and handling small repairs and landscaping. Couples often split it just that way, though at a busy facility both of you will cover the counter.
Employers range from independent owners with a single location to regional operators and national management companies. Some hire two full-time managers. Others hire one full-time manager and a part-time relief partner, so check how each listing is structured.
Prior storage experience is a plus but rarely essential. Retail, sales, collections and property management backgrounds all carry over. Mention any facility management software you have used, how comfortable you are with collections calls, and any repair skills. Above all, show owners you're steady people who will take good care of their investment.
