🌍 Redefining how people live. At Blueground, we believe that when your base is reliable, the world opens up.

That’s why we’re building the world’s leading platform for living. Every year, 350 million people move between cities—yet today’s housing options haven’t caught up with the needs of this modern, mobile generation.

Blueground was built to change that. With 40,000+ homes across the globe, available for stays from a few days to a year or more, we’re just getting started. We’re on an exponential growth path to redefine living and create an entirely new category.

Our edge? Powerful proprietary tech, operational excellence, and a team that executes with speed and discipline.

• Guests First – Every decision starts with their experience.
• Move Fast – We value speed, momentum, and action.
• Dive In – The magic is always in the details, and we go deep.
• Embrace Change – Change isn’t a disruption; it’s how we grow.
• Keep It Honest – Transparency accelerates progress—and strengthens relationships.

• Partner Management: Foster and grow relationships with landlords and agents to secure renewals, align pricing with market trends, and manage ongoing property condition issues.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with our operations and legal teams to ensure a smooth handover and flawless property onboarding.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Real Estate, or a related field
• 1–3 years of experience in real estate, business development, or sales (startup or hospitality experience is a plus)
