About the Company:
Our company is a growing furnished housing operator managing a portfolio of several hundred bedrooms in New York City, with an active expansion underway in a second East Coast market. We offer fully furnished, all-inclusive shared living designed for young professionals. Our members don’t just rent an apartment — they choose a lifestyle, and our Member Experience team is the front line of that promise.
The Role:
The Senior Manager of Member Experience owns every customer touchpoint from the moment Sales and Marketing complete their work, through the end of the member’s journey.

This is a senior operational role that requires both strong people management and a process-building mindset.
