Who you are

As our new Project and Operations Assistant, you will bring your hustle, creativity, and entrepreneurial approach along with your exceptional organizational, research, and communication skills to make things happen and keep everything running smoothly.

From managing a constantly changing calendar and travel arrangements to acting as a liaison with corporate partners, clients and other external stakeholders, this is part project coordination, part executive sales assistant, and all detail-oriented, proactive support.

What's in it for you

Impact and influence_. This is a genuine opportunity to contribute to our success, immediately working on four ventures with our Managing Director as well as Marketing and Partner outreach to grow our pipeline. This is not a typical administrative or analyst role, this is engaging project work with measurable outcomes. We live by the mantra, "Batteries included." To us, that means our people don't just point out the problems or grind to a halt when they make mistakes, it means we push harder, go further, and come up with the fix. And we're pretty sure you wrote that and embody.
Exposure and career development_. Those joining us will gain incredible insights into the innovative methods problemsolving in real estate can be undertaken. You will work for a Managing Director, who will rely on and appreciate you; and, in turn, provide you with the support you need to do your best work and build your career. This is a place where your authentic self, your voice, and your ideas are welcomed. Whether you want to move into Venture, Marketing, Project, or Operations work, we will support your growth.
