General Manager
What we do and why we do it
As the leading end-to-end investment platform for single-family rental homes (SFR), our mission is to make real estate investing radically accessible, cost effective, and simple. We successfully merge our passion for helping investors build wealth through real estate with cutting edge technology that transforms the way they do it.
How it’s going (and growing)
With a talented team of 600+ Roofsters, our collaborative, can-do culture is what fuels our growth. In 2022, we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in California, Texas, and New York as well as many remote opportunities. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Stessa (financial and asset management software), RentPrep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both Retail and Institutional investors). In 2025, Roofstock took an ownership stake in Casago (short-term rental management services), expanding our platform to support both long-term and short-term rental investment services.

About the Team
Roofstock’s STR team has the opportunity to build and shape an entirely new business unit together. The team is obsessed with people – in particular our owners, our guests, and our teammates. We extend our hospitality to everyone around us, there’s no such thing as “not my job,” and we celebrate our wins together. We plan to expand within our current markets as well as to roll out new markets in the years to come. Much like a startup business, things are fast-paced, intense, and exhilarating. And when the team wins, we all win.
About the Role
As a General Manager (GM), you will be the senior-most leader responsible for your local short-term rental market, overseeing the full performance of a portfolio typically ranging from 200 to 400 homes. You will own all outcomes in the market, including profitability, guest experience, owner satisfaction, team performance, regulatory compliance, and local reputation.
The GM’s core responsibilities are to ensure owner satisfaction by being a good steward of our owners’ properties, to ensure guest satisfaction which directly influences listing visibility and booking conversion, and to lead a high-performing, engaged local team. You will be expected to understand the P&L and make adjustments to operational levers to ensure profitability while maintaining quality and satisfaction. You will also serve as an escalation point for high-level owner concerns, particularly for multi-property owners who require extra attention.
You will be responsible for maintaining a positive reputation within the community, including building relationships with neighbors, HOAs, and local government officials. As the local face of Roofstock and Casago, you’ll help ensure that our presence benefits the community and reflects our commitment to being a responsible operator.
While the GM owns outcomes at the local level, the central operations team will provide strong support across compliance, guest experience, onboarding, and more. You’ll work hand-in-hand with these teams to ensure alignment and execution. Those teams exist to support you.
Finally, you will be asked to meet with prospective owners and support local business development efforts. Your role will be instrumental in helping homeowners understand our model and feel confident entrusting their homes to our team.
