About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing YC-backed PropTech SaaS company focused on improving operational workflows and customer experiences within the homebuilding and real estate ecosystem. Their platform supports operational execution for customers by managing backend workflows, documentation, and system updates at scale. The company operates as a lean, founder-led team with a highly collaborative and async-first culture. As the business continues to grow, they are investing in operational scalability and process automation to improve efficiency across customer workflows.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Operations Manager to support backend customer operations and identify opportunities for operational efficiency within a fast-paced PropTech SaaS environment.

You will work closely with operations leadership and customer success teams to execute operational tickets, maintain customer records, document repeatable workflows, and surface opportunities for automation improvements.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in structured, repetitive workflows while maintaining a proactive mindset around process improvement. Successful candidates are highly organized, self-directed, operationally disciplined, and comfortable working in small, fast-moving startup environments.
