A bit about us
At Placemakr, home meets hospitality. We’ve combined the best of apartment
living, vacation rentals, and hotel stays into one experience. We partner with
developers, property operators, and investors to curate a collection of
apartment-like spaces in hand-picked neighborhoods. Our tech-enabled buildings
create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and add tremendous value to 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 help our buildings thrive by focusing on execution and
ensuring a great experience for both residents and guests. Our non-property team
members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our
platform. They can enjoy remote-first work with the freedom to choose their
location — as long as they have access to a workspace and reliable Wi-Fi. We
believe collaboration is key, so our remote-first teams and property leaders
have biannual in-person get-togethers at various locations across the US.
From corporate non-property team members to our property teams and leaders,
we’re looking for collaborative, driven individuals to join us as we continue to
expand our presence.
The impact you'll have
At Placemakr, we are obsessed with service and believe in providing exceptional
experiences to our valued residents and partners. As a Resident Experience
Associate (REA), you will be at the forefront of this mission, serving as a
primary point of contact throughout the resident experience.
Resident Experience Associates support multiple Placemakr communities and are
adaptable team members who thrive in dynamic environments. Whether assisting

property, you'll help deliver the consistent, high-quality experience our
residents expect.
We are seeking individuals who embody Placemakr's Community Norms, have a
"can-do" spirit, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure resident
satisfaction. As an integral member of our Property Team, you will embody our
Property Team Mission with each task and interaction while demonstrating that
exceptional service remains at the core of everything we do.
This is a full-time position requiring ability to work during the week,
weekends, evenings and holidays. The exact days of the week will be rotational.
This position requires regular travel between assigned Placemakr-managed

require. Team Members will report to an assigned home-base community in the
Washington metro area, but should expect to support other locations throughout
the portfolio. Approved business travel expenses will be reimbursed
by Placemakr.
