Director of Operations, Critical Assets

Rex and ResProp Management helps people find apartment homes and builds communities. We are a multi-family property management company that serves people, community residents and owners. We got our start in 2010, have grown to over 21,000 units and we are continuing to grow daily. We owe our success to our focus on servant leadership, and our commitment to hiring top talent from the most innovative companies from both inside and outside the multifamily industry.

We’re looking for a street-smart, fast-twitch player to help drive execution across high-stakes initiatives at the intersection of private equity and operations, possibly even tech. Think turnarounds or greenfield plays. Projects are typically high-stakes, often in real estate (apartments, hotels, office), and may include tech initiatives. No property management background needed, but you better be battle-tested in business, highly entrepreneurial, and hard-charging. 5–9 years of experience. You’re the kind who takes the hill, not talks about it. You move fast, hit hard, and get people to move with a velvet glove and iron fist. This is the business equivalent of a Special Forces role, not a standard Army post. You'll report into upper leadership with strong visibility with the founder, Pete Rex. Must be an all-in or out type player.

Fully remote, with preference for your home base to be around Austin, Texas.
