Posted 8 months ago
🚀 Want to join a team of A players in an exciting, high-growth, entrepreneurial environment?

We’re a small team solving big problems in the property management industry. Bootstrapped since 2013, we're passionate about helping small businesses simplify growth and streamline operations, providing the leading CRM in our space.

The long version of our story: Back when web 2.0 was a thing (get off my lawn!) LeadSimple’s founders started a lead generation business connecting landlords with property management companies. Witnessing the challenges lead buyers had closing deals led into a natural segue to build out an industry-specific CRM which became the de-facto industry standard. Fast forward to 2020 when we released a process/workflow suite to move from the sales side of our clients business into the heart of day-to-day operations. The market was hungry and responded aggressively to the new direction, which led us to double down with growth and additional product expansion.


The mission of the VP of Product is to deliver exceptional customer value via market-defining products that consistently exceed user expectations and shape the future of our industry.

In summary...


You can do it in an office
You can do it from home
We really don’t care
As long as it’s known 👇

What matters is this…
When the chips are down
And your back is against the wall
Can we count on you to make the right call?

Judgment, intuition, or care by another name
We call it “Owning The Outcome” - because it really is the whole game
Have the customers back, and they will treat you the same

If you can do that
Then we’re birds of the same feather
So come join our team and we’ll make music together.
