About CORE

CORE is a dynamic, integrated commercial real estate firm with offices across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and

Rhode Island. We manage a diverse portfolio of properties from Maine to Florida, specializing in acquisition, development,

leasing, asset management, and investment services. As we continue to grow, we're committed to leveraging

technology—especially AI—to drive efficiency, reduce operational costs (including labor), and enhance decision-making across our multi-state operations.

Position Overview

We are seeking a motivated Technology Officer to join our headquarters team in Portland, Maine. This role will serve as the primary technology leader for the firm, focusing on company-wide technology optimization, integration, and innovation. You will spearhead the exploration, evaluation, and implementation of AI tools and programs to streamline processes and achieve measurable cost savings. This is an excellent opportunity for an entry- to mid-level professional with strong AI usage and implementation experience to take ownership of technology strategy in a growing CRE firm. The role offers direct access to executive leadership and a clear path for growth into a more senior technology leadership position (e.g., future Chief Technology Officer) as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead company-wide technology optimization and integration efforts, ensuring systems (e.g., management software, CRM, financial tools, lead generation and distribution, document management) work seamlessly across offices and support business goals.

• Research, pilot, and implement AI-driven solutions to automate repetitive tasks, improve analytics, enhance tenant screening, predictive maintenance, leasing workflows, and other areas to reduce labor costs and boost efficiency.

• Oversee the evaluation and adoption of new technologies, vendors, and tools, with a focus on ROI and alignment with CRE industry needs.

• Provide hands-on support for general technology troubleshooting, user training, and day-to-day IT needs.

• Assist with cybersecurity initiatives, including monitoring threats, implementing best practices, managing access controls, and coordinating with external providers as needed.

• Collaborate with department heads and leadership to identify technology opportunities that support growth and operational excellence.

• Maintain documentation of systems, processes, and implementations; report on technology status, projects, and outcomes to executive team.

• Stay current on emerging technologies, particularly AI advancements relevant to real estate and business operations.

Qualifications

Required:

• Demonstrated experience using and implementing AI tools/solutions in a business environment (e.g., automation platforms, machine learning applications, generative AI, predictive analytics, or workflow AI integrations).

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• 2–5 years of relevant experience in technology management, IT support, digital transformation, or AI implementation (entry- to mid-level candidates encouraged to apply).

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and user issues.

• Familiarity with cybersecurity fundamentals (e.g., best practices for data protection, threat awareness).

• Excellent communication skills to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently in a small-team environment.

Preferred:

• Experience in commercial real estate, property management, or related industries.

• Knowledge of common CRE software (e.g., Yardi, AppFolio, MRI, CoStar, or similar).

• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, AWS) or integration tools.

• Project management experience or certifications (e.g., PMP, CompTIA, AI-related courses).

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience (target range: $82,500–$105,000 base, depending on qualifications; performance bonus potential).

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, IRA with match, paid time off, and professional development opportunities.

• Collaborative, entrepreneurial environment with direct impact on company strategy.
