Role Context: This role is ideal for an ambitious property or facilities manager who gravitates toward the operations and service side of property management (as opposed to leasing). You’ll build both the traditional property management function plus the hospitality operations unique to our mid-term furnished rental business (turnover cleans, supplies, guest support). It’s a “Player-Coach” role with a lot of growth potential. You’ll do everything at first and build out a 1099 and vendor team as we scale.
