Director of Operations – Renovations & Property Operations
Property Rush | Remote (US) | Open to relocating to Chattanooga in the future | Full-time

Build the operational engine behind the go-to turnkey platform for investors.

Property Rush exists to become the go-to turnkey place for real estate investors. We help investors buy, renovate, lease, and manage rental homes without the chaos. We’re building a company where execution is consistent, communication is tight, and owners/tenants feel taken care of.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Director of Operations to run the day-to-day engine of the business—especially renovations, turns, vendor performance, and operating cadence—so the founder can shift from being in the weeds to spending the majority of time on growth (marketing, sales, acquisitions/dispo).

This role is for someone who wants to be measured by outcomes—not activity—and wants meaningful upside tied to performance.

Total Compensation (OTE): $130,000 – $180,000
Comp includes performance incentives tied directly to measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Be Accountable For

Scorecard — Your 5 KPIs

You will own these 5 company-critical metrics:

≥ 80% of Department KPIs Achieved MonthlyCash Flow Forecast Accuracy ≥ 95% (Monthly)≥ 95% of Renovation Projects Delivered On Time AND Within ±5% of BudgetEmployee Satisfaction Score ≥ 90% (Quarterly Survey)Owner & Tenant Satisfaction Score ≥ 9/10

What Success Looks Like

In your first 90 days, you’ve created operational clarity: KPIs are visible and reviewed weekly, priorities are disciplined, the renovation/turn pipeline is tracked end-to-end, vendor accountability is established, and communication rhythms are consistent. The team knows what “winning this week” looks like and how their work impacts the scorecard.

Within 6–12 months, Property Rush runs on systems—not heroics. Renovation delivery becomes predictable, cash flow forecasting is reliable, employee engagement stays high, and owners/tenants consistently report a premium experience. The founder is no longer the hub for operational decisions and can focus heavily on growth.

ONE THING: Build a high-performing operations system and team that delivers predictable results for investors and tenants.
