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 Impact you'll have
As Area Manager, you are responsible for driving the overall execution (creation and ongoing ownership) of the operational excellence of your Placemakr properties, including budgetary efficiency, proactive and effective maintenance, competitive growth-oriented pricing, and the experience of everyone onsite: employees, residents, guests, third-party partners, and building ownership/management. This position will require frequent travel to prospective and newly signed buildings in your applicable area(s).

Your typical day

  • Directly supervise, lead and develop your team of on-site leaders
  • Own and manage the budgetary efficiency of your Placemakr properties
  • Assess areas of opportunity in operations, people, leadership and guest service and use an outside-the-box mindset when finding solutions
  • Partner successfully with cross-functional teams, including the implementation of all back-end and access systems, programming of front and back of house spaces, and tailoring SOPs to your specific assets
  • In tandem with your leaders, support talent acquisition efforts across all operations roles within your properties
  • Develop and support the execution of streamlined reporting and processes
  • Collaborate with cross-functional team members, working alongside the Sr. Director, Properties, to support execution of all property operations
  • Oversee, support and train team members on SOPs and programs
  • Provide hands-on assistance trouble shooting on-site issues that require additional leadership/expertise
  • Mentor all direct reports in relation to property esthetics, financial reporting, P&L management, leadership, and evolving operational excellence
  • Ensure all of your properties are maintaining a consistently high level of service and meeting Placemakr’s brand standards
  • Support accounts receivable management within your Placemakr properties to drive down balances and convert to NOI
  • Own all owner and partner relations for your Placemakr properties
  • Additional duties and responsibilities, as assigned

  • You lead by example and embody the core values of Placemakr. You Own It. You Make It Better. You Treat People Right.
  • Area Managers will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended time) and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 50 pounds without assistance). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for our Area Managers and an exceptional guest experience.
