You'll Thrive Here If You Have:

• 6+ months of experience coordinating maintenance or dispatching, ideally in a U.S. property management setting

• At least 1 year in a customer service or operations support role

• Familiarity with pricing scopes or work orders (a plus!)

• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal - B2/C1 or higher)

• Reliable tech setup: computer, webcam, dual monitors, and stable internet
