Short-Term & Traditional Property Manager

Looking to join a fast-growing and forward-thinking company?

Propolis, a developer-operator of small multifamily properties in the urban core of Miami, FL, is seeking a highly motivated Property Manager to join our team. At Propolis, we operate our buildings in a unique way, blending coliving (rent-by-the-bedroom), traditional long term leases, and short term rentals.

Our goal is to help solve the affordability crisis by building and managing efficient, aspirational apartments in centrally-located, walkable areas. Our apartments are all fully-furnished, and have flexible leases and utilities included.

The ideal candidate will have traditional property management experience, plus hospitality and/or short-term rental experience. They are passionate about creating an exceptional living experience for our residents and guests.

NOTE: This is not a huge corporate environment, where the PM is just a cog in the wheel. This is a hardworking tight-knit team, dedicated to innovating in a sector that is typically business-as-usual. If you are looking to join a large, compartmentalized behemoth with layers of approvals, Propolis is not for you. If you are looking to join a bootstrappy startup with a proven model, we encourage you to apply and join Propolis.

About Propolis

Propolis is a vertically-integrated real estate development and property management firm specializing in efficient high density, mid-rise (3-5 stories) residential buildings. The company develops aspirational but attainable housing on infill lots in urban centers with the goal of being best in class. Propolis is completing its fourth building by end of year and has over 10 projects in different phases of development. The company is primed for accelerated growth.

The company uses a unique hybrid residential-hospitality operational model that includes coliving, micro-units, traditional long-term leasing and short-term rentals. All our apartments are super efficient and come fully-furnished (with utilities included), so they appeal to young professionals, who save an average of $200-300/month versus renting a studio in the area. On the flip side, our investors benefit from increased returns that are nearly unheard of in prime real estate markets.
