General Manager

Join to apply for the General Manager role at Placemakr

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.

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.
