A bit about us

At Placemakr, home meets hospitality. We’ve combined the best of apartment living, vacation rentals, and hotel stays into one experience. We partner with developers, property operators, and investors to curate a collection of apartment-like spaces in hand-picked neighborhoods. Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and add tremendous value to the underlying real estate. Whether guests are with us for a night, a year, or somewhere in between, these are more than just spaces to spend the night — they’re a place to call home.

Our property team members help our buildings thrive by focusing on execution and ensuring a great experience for both residents and guests. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform. They can enjoy remote-first work with the freedom to choose their location — as long as they have access to a workspace and reliable Wi-Fi. We believe collaboration is key, so our remote-first teams and property leaders have biannual in-person get-togethers at various locations across the US.

From corporate non-property team members to our property teams and leaders, we’re looking for collaborative, driven individuals to join us as we continue to expand our presence.

The Senior People Experience (HR) Business Partner will act as a partner to our on- and off-site property team members and leaders to help support day-to-day people-related programs and utilize a business-focused and ‘Treat People Right’ mindset to help translate business objectives into human capital strategies. Reporting into the Director, PX Business Partnerships and Talent Acquisition, this individual will have the responsibility of supporting on- and off-site property clients across our portfolio and act as a trusted advisor for all team members. The Senior People Experience Business Partner will ideate and execute on strategic programs to increase overall performance for our on- and off-site property teams through consulting on performance, engagement, recognition, career development and total rewards initiatives. In short, this individual will partner with the PX leadership and Operations leadership team to plan and deliver HR programs to the business while operating as a trusted advisor who serves as the expert on day-to-day people issues for our property teams. As we operate properties across the country, the ideal candidate has previous HR experience with supporting various levels of corporate and field-based team members (non-exempt through leadership) spread across multiple localities.

This role will be remote-first but may be required to travel to property locations as the needs of the business call for it. Candidates for this position should expect to work CST or EST hours and/or be located in a region local to our current properties (San Antonio / Austin, Atlanta, Washington DC/Maryland/Virgina, Nashville, New York) in order to best support the needs of the business.
