Specialist, Property Support

A bit about us

We’re a venture-backed startup on a mission to change the future of hospitality and home. With properties in some of America’s most-loved cities, our unique platform allows buildings to blur the line between hotels and apartments. This all-in-one solution includes property operations, customer acquisitions, and the tech stack to operate with more flexibility than any other company in the market.

Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and tremendous value in the underlying real estate. Whether guests are with us for a night, a year, or somewhere in between, these are more than just spaces to spend the night—they’re a place to call home.

Our property team members bring our business to life at each building, focusing on execution, along with resident and guest experience. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform.

The Specialist, Property Support, will supply on-site support to our newly acquired buildings and existing property operations teams by managing and executing on timelines, budgets, and projects, as well as providing people-related support throughout the lifecycle of our properties during times of staffing shortages, process rollout and property performance initiatives. This individual will train and project manage our on-site operations teams in logistics behind transitioning properties, such as accepting units, coordinating FF&E and OS&E, and executing Placemakr Customer Experience standards, while providing hands-on support throughout. While functioning as an extension of our property operations team, the Specialist, Property Support will be an integral member of the on-site staff by bridging communication across the Property Operations and non-property teams to relay issues, questions, changes, and needs, during transitionary periods and on-going operations. In partnership with the Manager, Property Support, this individual will set up systems and processes that make the transition process on-site as seamless as possible.
