We're hiring immediately

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas.


At The Scion Group, we're changing the way people see student housing. It's bigger than beds and buildings. It's about providing an experience for students to explore the best years of their lives. It's about creating communities — both on and off campus — that feel like less like a place and more like a home. Founded in 1999, Scion now owns and operates nearly 70,000 beds serving 200 top-tier university campus markets across the nation, representing $5.0 billion dollars of project value.

We're searching for a Property Accountant to play an integral part in this journey by providing financial reporting and key insights into performance for our communities. The Property Accountant will use a sense of curiosity to resolve variances and develop a financial narrative to drive business decisions. This position will manage general accounting functions for an assigned portfolio of Scion's communities with a service-oriented approach.

This position is based out of our central office in Chicago, IL.
