Director of Operations for Raw Land Real Estate Company

We specialize in raw land.
As clearly as possible, we are looking for a systems minded perfectionist who is extraordinarily detail-oriented.

You MUST have at least 2+ years experience in an operations role within a real estate company.
Summary
This is a fast-paced, extremely detail-oriented and high-pressure role.
Expect to get 30+ messages/day from our customers, many of which include tasks that must be done that day.
I’m looking for someone with extreme attention to detail who enjoys negotiating deals, setting up systems, and is fun to work with.

But if you have extensive experience operating a real estate company, this position will be very challenging and extremely rewarding.

Depending on how we work together, this will increase to a full time salaried role.
