Develop partner relationships after launch and use renewal cycles and performance data to expand unit counts.

Work with the founding team on pricing, partner feedback, the business model, and product priorities.

Track pipeline health, partner performance, and growth measures such as live units, occupancy, and revenue per unit.

What We're Looking For

Five to ten years of experience in proptech, multifamily real estate, or residential leasing, including hands-on supply-side sales or partnerships.

Experience pitching, negotiating with, and closing landlords or operators onto a platform.

Active relationships with multifamily landlords, owners, or operators in a major U.S. market.

Strong relationship-building skills and experience navigating negotiations involving multiple stakeholders.

Analytical ability to interpret business metrics and inform strategic decisions.

Familiarity with multifamily operations or property management is valuable.

Comfort working in an intense startup environment with ambiguity and varied responsibilities.
