As our Compliance & Property Onboarding Specialist, you’ll play a critical role in bringing new properties online, keeping us compliant across multiple jurisdictions, and ensuring every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed—from licensing to taxes to utilities. We are looking for a detail-driven, process-minded professional who thrives on organization, enjoys solving complex regulatory puzzles, and takes pride in getting things right the first time.

If you love structure, systems, and making chaos feel controlled—this role is for you.
