A bit about us

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.

From corporate non-property team members to our property teams and leaders, we’re looking for collaborative, driven individuals to join us as we continue to expand our presence.

The Impact You’ll Have

The Vice President, Real Estate Platform Partnerships will lead the sourcing and development of large-scale, third-party managed real estate opportunities that power Placemakr’s growth across the West Coast. This executive will be responsible for leading a highly effective team that is identifying, cultivating, and closing strategic partnerships with developers, institutional owners, and investment groups to expand Placemakr’s portfolio of hospitality-driven residential and mixed-use assets.

As a senior leader within the organization, this individual will oversee high-performing business development and sales efforts across key markets and play a critical role in shaping Placemakr’s expansion strategy. The VP will bring deep hospitality and brand development experience, leveraging a strong network within major hotel brands, independent hospitality operators, and hospitality-focused real estate investors to originate high-quality opportunities.

This role will own a significant portion of Placemakr’s growth pipeline and will work closely with executive leadership and Placemakr’s CEO across development, finance, strategy, and legal to structure and close complex partnership agreements.

This person will be required to be based out of one of our growing West Coast Markets (San Francisco/Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Seattle, Dallas, Houston) and in close proximity to a major airport due to the travel involved.
