Santa Clara, United States Placemakr Full time
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, our obsession with exceptional service doesn't stop at our guests, residents and partners - it encompasses our team members as well. As a Front Desk Supervisor, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless and collaborative experience for our team members while setting the tone for our front of house operations. We are seeking individuals who champion Placemakr's Community Norms and take a hands-on approach to supporting the day-to-day efficacy of front desk operations. As an integral member of our on-site property team and a future leader at Placemakr, you will embody our Property Team Mission with each guest and team member interaction, lead by example to uphold a positive team culture in alignment with property goals, and ultimately ensure that our guests are delighted by the experiences our Guest Experience Associates create.

This position requires open availability for scheduling including nights, weekends and holidays. The exact hours and days of the week and weekend that you will be scheduled will be rotational.

Competitive pay, stock options and generous monthly bonus program of up to $500/month

    • Demonstrated experience effectively resolving escalated guest issues with a high-level of autonomy.
    • Demonstrated experience with effectively communicating in-the-moment feedback to team members in an appropriate way.

    • You embody our Property Team Mission of Customer, Consistency and Community (Norms).
    • You lead by example and embody the core values of Placemakr. You Own It. You Make It Better. You Treat People Right.
    • Front Desk Supervisors will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended time) and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 50 pounds without assistance). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for our Front Desk Supervisors and an exceptional guest experience.


Our community norms

Great people are the key to our success. From corporate 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 across the US. Most importantly, we create positive community norms that shape our company culture and inform how we do business:

We own it.

We make it better.

We treat people right.
