Job description

We started with a simple idea - everyone deserves the opportunity to build foundational wealth. We've been democratizing the way everyday investors can earn income and grow their money through fractional real estate investing. Our mission is to disrupt traditional big banks by making higher yields through alternative real estate investments accessible and approachable for everyone.

We’re composed of some of the best professionals in the world from real estate investments, financial technology, product and marketing. We share a common mission - reinvent the world’s oldest asset category for the new digital class of humans. We’ve built a mobile application and a proprietary platform driven by technology-forward principles. This is so much more than your rich uncle’s traditional real estate portfolio.

Why you will make an impact

Can you manage hundreds of media hits a month?

Can you understand new industries quickly and explain them and elegantly?

Can you package data in interesting ways to create news and thought leadership opportunities?

Are you passionate about technology, innovation, finance, or real estate?

If the role we’ve described sounds like you, we might have your next great opportunity. Concreit is seeking an ambitious and enthusiastic Sales Development Representative to assist in growth marketing and brand positioning. The right candidate will thrive as a self-starter and relationship builder, and be part of a growing team in a fast-paced and supportive work environment.
