Area Manager

Area Manager

At Placemakr, home meets hospitality. We've combined the best of apartment living, vacation rentals, and hotel stays into one experience. We partner with developers, property operators, and investors to curate a collection of apartment-like spaces in hand-picked neighborhoods. Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and add tremendous value to 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 help our buildings thrive by focusing on execution and ensuring a great experience for both residents and guests. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform. They can enjoy remote-first work with the freedom to choose their location as long as they have access to a workspace and reliable Wi-Fi. We believe collaboration is key, so our remote-first teams and property leaders have biannual in-person get-togethers at various locations across the US.

From corporate non-property team members to our property teams and leaders, we're looking for collaborative, driven individuals to join us as we continue to expand our presence.

You will embody a people-first mindset and instill accountability, ownership and innovation in every member of your team.

Reporting directly to the Sr. Director of Properties, the Area Manager will utilize a strategic and results-oriented approach to ensuring consistent day-to-day operations, financial efficiency, positive owner relations and an unmatched experience for our team members, guests and residents. As a senior member of our property leadership team, this individual will demonstrate exceptional communication skills and will be a world-class collaborator across property and non-property teams. The Area Manager will be a motivational and people-focused leader who is a champion of Placemakr's Community Norms and leads by example to uphold a culture of top performance for leaders and team members alike.
