About the role
A bit about usAt 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 haveAt Placemakr, our obsession with exceptional service isn’t the only thing that sets us apart – it's our people! As General Manager, your mission is to challenge, motivate, engage and lead your team to drive operational and budgetary excellence across your Placemakr property, using your foundational leadership skills and operationally savvy mindset. Around here, things move fast, and no two days look the same (which is how we like it!). You'll dive right in with providing hands-on support when escalated issues occur while instilling accountability, ownership and innovation in every member of your team. Through Manager on Duty shifts and scheduling yourself as flexibly as our operating model, you’ll impactfully lead our teams, engage with our ownership groups and shake up the status quo (because "that's how it's always been done" simply isn't in our vocabulary). If you're curious, resilient and creative in your solutions - while still appreciating a trusted process or two – your success as a General Manager won’t be far behind. Reporting directly to your applicable Area Manager, you will utilize a can-do and results-oriented approach to ensuring consistent day-to-day operations, strong financial performance and an unmatched experience for everyone on your property so we can deliver big on our commitments. In this role, you’ll need to demonstrate exceptional communication skills, providing clarity and building trust across your team and partners, and excel in implementing programs and processes that keep us continuously improving. The General Manager must be fueled by motivating and leading people, championing Placemakr’s Community Norms and embodying accountability to drive a culture of top performance, world-class service and operational and financial excellence.
This position requires open availability for flexible scheduling, including evenings, overnights, weekends and holidays, on a rotational basis and as the needs of the business call for it.

What you'll do
- Lead with relentless curiosity and self-starting drive - recognize trends fast, adapt faster and demonstrate mastery of all aspects of your building (from people and service to operations and financials, you should be a pro!)
- Consistently provide an exceptional experience to anyone you interact with, so our teams, guests, residents and partners walk away thinking "I have to tell my network about this place!". Be the trusted friend, local insider and subject-matter-expert all rolled into one
- Set the bar for a safe, secure and compliant environment for all by adhering to and driving accountability for established policies and procedures. We like to challenge the status quo, but we don't play fast and loose with safety, service and operational standards.
- Follow a schedule that's as flexible as our business model - working days, evenings, overnight and weekends to understand the nuance of our business, observe the team and drive consistency. Not all weeks will look the same, and that's the point.
- Embody leadership in action, not by managing a checklist, but by motivating, developing, engaging, challenging and driving accountability for your team in real time. Proactively succession plan and identify gaps in talent across your team – then, solve for those gaps!
- In partnership with Area and non-property leadership, train, re-train and (when needed) re-invent how we do things across people, operational and financial expectatio
