You’ll love this role if:
You are super entrepreneurial and really want to have the responsibility of growing a business. You thrive in hands-on operations
You are comfortable with ambiguity, multitasking, and can move quickly
You take great pride in how space looks and feels but also get energy from building relationships and closing deals.
You are excited about learning and leading in multiple markets
This role isn’t for you if:

You would rather just set and execute strategy than get your hands dirty
You get stressed when you’re keeping multiple balls in the air
