Head of Forecasting

Remote

We’re Changing the Rentals Industry

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company specializing in industry-leading martech and data SaaS products for the rentals industry. Originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.’s largest rental marketplaces, Rentable, we have since expanded our portfolio to include two high-growth products: MavenAI, an AI mar-tech solution, and ApartmentIQ, a category-leading competitive intelligence software.

We’re a 100% remote team of 100+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy, and are proud to have built a community of highly performant people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves. And, we're looking for exceptional people to help further accelerate our growth.

While we’ve raised $30MM+ to date from some of the world’s best investors, we’re profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital. 

If you like the idea of joining an industry-changing company made up of people who genuinely like each other, Rentable could be a great fit for you.

The Role 

We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Head of Forecasting to lead our efforts in building smart, scalable, and accurate forecasting systems for ApartmentIQ, our market intelligence product. This is a high-impact role where you’ll combine deep technical expertise with big-picture thinking to guide our data science roadmap and unlock insights that directly shape the product and business.

You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and customer experience teams to embed predictive capabilities into the product. We’re looking for someone who’s equally comfortable writing model code as they are presenting strategy to execs.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the forecasting strategy and implementation across ApartmentIQ, driving the development of models that power our product and decision-making.
  • Design and implement forecasting models using techniques like SARIMAX, Prophet, LSTM, and XGBoost, leveraging Python and its ecosystem.
  • Work cross-functionally to identify the biggest forecasting opportunities, translate business questions into modeling tasks, and deliver insights at speed.
  • Create clear, compelling stories from complex data and drive alignment with stakeholders across product, engineering, and leadership.
  • Define and monitor key performance metrics for your models, and continuously iterate to improve performance in production.
  • Help set the long-term vision for how forecasting can drive smarter products, better user experiences, and business growth.

What You Bring:

  • 10+ years of experience in data science, with deep expertise in forecasting, time series modeling, and predictive analytics in the multifamily industry.
  • Master's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field.
  • Strong Python skills, especially with forecasting libraries like statsmodels, Prophet, TensorFlow/Keras, XGBoost, and scikit-learn.
  • Solid understanding of model evaluation, experimentation, and deployment in production environments.
  • Business savvy—you can connect model outputs to business outcomes and explain your approach to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working with large datasets, SQL, and modern data stacks (bonus points for cloud or Spark experience).
  • A bias for action, strong communication skills, and a love for solving ambiguous problems with data.

Why Rentable:

  • 100% Remote Workplace
  • Competitive Compensation Package
  • Flexible Vacation Policy 
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 100% paid Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance Program
  • 401k Program
  • No A**hole Policy

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
