About the company:
A fast-growing co-living startup that recently closed a seed round (December 2025) and is scaling rapidly, with ~25 homes expected by Spring. We specialize in a modern co-living model and are transitioning from external property managers to a fully in-house operations team.

This is a foundational hire. You’ll be the first in-house Property Manager and will play a critical role in building systems, setting standards, and eventually leading a small team.

The Role

We’re hiring a Property Manager to own day-to-day property operations across our co-living portfolio. This person will serve as the operational backbone of the business—managing tenants, vendors, and maintenance while helping us scale efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Tenant Operations

Monitor and respond to tenant chats, questions, and issues
Process new rental applications (review, approve/deny)
Ensure a high-quality tenant experience aligned with our co-living brand
Escalate urgent issues appropriately and handle time-sensitive matters

Maintenance & Vendor Management

Coordinate and manage maintenance vendors
Oversee recurring services (lawn care, cleaning, pest control)
Ensure issues are resolved quickly and cost-effectively

Team Building & Leadership

Hire, train, and manage a part-time weekend VA
Help define SOPs, workflows, and best practices
Grow into managing a larger in-house PM team as the portfolio scales

Ideal Candidate Profile

1-3+ years of experience in multifamily, vacation, or short-term rental (STR) property management
Experience managing multiple properties or doors simultaneously
Strong operational judgment and critical thinking skills
Comfortable taking ownership and making decisions independently
Experience working remotely with US-based companies
Co-living experience is a plus, but not required
The company is using Padsplit, but experience in other property management software is a plus

Why This Role Is Unique

Foundational hire with real ownership and influence
Opportunity to build and lead a property management team from scratch
Work directly with founders of a venture-backed startup
Long-term growth as the portfolio and team expand
