Field Project Manager

Are you looking to join one of the KC’s fastest growing companies?

Our Story

In 2020, property managers across the country were struggling to keep up with maintenance due to the labor shortage and supply chain disruptions. Enter Lula, whose vendor network and sourcing solutions provided relief for residents and managers all over. The issues that plagued the industry for years were all brought to light when the world shut down due to the pandemic. This disruption provided Lula with a path to reinvent property maintenance forever. 

Once we found where we were most needed and fully committed to servicing rental properties, our core business skyrocketed. In the last 4 years, we've grown to over 70 employees, achieved exponential revenue growth, and expanded to 40 markets (and counting). Lula is rapidly expanding into new markets and is seeking to add talented professionals to our growing team. 

Lula's team embraces a fast-moving, high-energy environment dedicated to serving our customers and their needs first. To join this team, you will need to show a passion for helping our customer succeed on our platform, and a desire to grow your career and income. We're looking for competitive, tenacious, and driven individuals who are ready to embrace the incentives and rewards that come with success.
