About the role

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, exceptional resident experiences depend on safe, functional, and well-maintained homes. As the Maintenance Manager, your mission is to ensure maintenance needs across your assigned housing portfolio are addressed quickly, consistently, and with a commitment to exceptional service.

Around here, no two days look the same (which is exactly how we like it). You'll balance competing priorities, build strong partnerships, coordinate across multiple property management companies, and ensure maintenance issues are resolved efficiently while minimizing disruption to residents. Whether you're collaborating with building engineering teams, supporting Resident Ready activities, monitoring work order performance, or resolving operational challenges, you'll serve as the connector that keeps maintenance operations moving.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you'll partner closely with Housing Coordinators, the Housing Program Manager, Resident Experience, Housekeeping, and property management teams to ensure maintenance operations support Resident Ready standards, contractual service expectations, and an exceptional resident experience.

Success in this role requires outstanding communication, relationship management, organization, and operational follow-through. You'll build trust with property partners, foster accountability across multiple stakeholders, and proactively identify opportunities to improve service delivery and operational performance.

This is a full-time position that requires open availability for flexible scheduling, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays, on a rotational basis and as the needs of the business call for it. As an integral member of the leadership team responsible for the timely resolution of maintenance issues, you will be required to work rotational on-call shifts as determined by management and the needs of the business.

This position requires regular travel between assigned Placemakr-managed communities throughout the Washington metropolitan area. Maintenance Managers should expect to spend the majority of their time traveling between assigned communities, inspecting residences, coordinating maintenance activities, meeting with property management partners, verifying completed work, and supporting operational teams.

What you'll do

Own the overall performance, coordination, and accountability of maintenance operations across your assigned portfolio, ensuring timely response, quality repairs, and exceptional service for residents.

Build and maintain strong working relationships with property management companies, engineering teams, vendors, and operational partners across multiple communities.
