Requirements

Nice-to-Have

• Property management, leasing, real estate operations, or housing-related experience
• Experience handling both clients and end users, such as owners and tenants, customers and vendors, or clients and service providers
• Experience in high-volume, SLA-driven, operations-heavy, or service-based environments
• Comfort using AI/tools to improve documentation, reporting, summaries, and internal efficiency

Remote Tech Requirements

• Dual monitor setup
