The Ideal Nest Team Member
We're looking for someone who doesn't wait to be told what needs to be done.
The right person will see a problem, take ownership, and find a solution. You should be comfortable walking into the office in the morning, helping organize a corporate project, jumping in to assist a property manager, meeting a vendor at a property, and returning to the office to help leadership finish a project — sometimes all in the same day.
You should take pride in presentation, organization, communication, and follow-through. You understand that in property management, the small details matter, and that our owners, residents, employees, and properties should all receive an exceptional level of service.
