Experience with CRM software and experience in a property management environment is a plus.

- Our Values
- As sprawl became commonplace in our cities, we grew less connected to each other. We normalized hour-long commutes, even as private vehicle ownership became the largest source of carbon pollution. Cars and roads began to dictate development decisions and shape urban life. At Culdesac, we blend technology, real estate, and culture to reimagine daily living. Come help us make our residents happier, healthier, and more productive — both in the years they spend with us and in the moments they share together.
- At Culdesac, we: Work as a team
- Be inclusive, drawing on the strengths of people who bring a different perspective.
- Find ways to work together that overcome disciplinary and geographic separations.
- Act from ownership
- Be output oriented. When we see a problem, we roll up our sleeves and fix it.
- Don’t let blockers stop you from seeing your work through to the end.
- Rule 0, then iterate
- Don’t start from scratch: learn from our own and others’ previous attempts.
- Before mass private car ownership, all cities were models of walkability. We learn from the designs of the past and make them beautiful and relevant to today.
- Then, we learn from our own designs to continually improve.
- Design for humans
- Ask people for feedback and observe behavior. Only users know if we’re creating value for them.
- Human paradoxes and contradictions are our opportunity to create joy.
- Respect the limits of what we can know and plan. In the complex organism of a city, emergent behavior rules.
- Create and capture value
- Focus on what our residents value: profitability is essential for sustainability and allows us to scale.
- Great places create positive externalities for ourselves and our neighbors, unlike the negative externalities of cars.
- We build value by executing on the fundamentals and excelling at mobility, community, and open space.
- Next Steps
- If you think Culdesac might be a good fit, we encourage you to apply! We value your time and aim for a transparent, efficient hiring process. If your application moves forward, here is what you can expect:
- 1. Recruiter Phone Screen (15 Minutes): A quick introductory call to understand your background, cover role logistics, and align on expectations.
- 2. Assistant Community Manager Video Interview (30 Minutes): A virtual conversation to walk through real-world neighborhood scenarios, discuss customer service, and share upcoming project needs.
- 3. Community Manager Onsite Interview (30 Minutes): A visit to our Culdesac Tempe neighborhood office to dive deep into your leasing and sales experience, tour the space, and discuss how you align with Culdesac's mission.
- At each step of the process, we always leave dedicated time for you to ask us questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
