What you'll do
- Systematically screen real estate portals every day with a sure eye for what fits.
- Evaluate each apartment from a coliving perspective: layout, condition, building, and whether the property is ready to play along.
- Organize viewings and go on site to verify what the listing promises.
- Apply in the company's name and position Room Estate as the tenant every agency wants.
- Follow up until a decision is made so no file gets stuck.
- Accompany the file through to signature and check the lease using the checklist: critical points, missing clauses and deviations from the listing.
- Keep case tracking up to date: every object entered, every status traceable.
What we're looking for
- Sense of responsibility and autonomy; drive a process end to end at high frequency and a reliable pace.
- Fluency in French, written and spoken, for exchanges with agencies and owners.
- Tenacity and negotiation skills; the Geneva rental market often says no.
- An eye for floor plans; see at once whether coliving works and how many rooms are realistic.
- Rigor in working with checklists, following through each point and spotting deviations; no specialized lease law knowledge required.
- Category B driver's license and availability for regular viewings in Geneva, the Lake Geneva region and the rest of French-speaking Switzerland.
- Fluent English, written and spoken, the internal working language.
Nice to have
- Experience in the Swiss real estate sector (property management training, USPI courses, brokerage activity).
- Existing network with agencies and owners in Geneva and the Lake Geneva region.
- Experience in coliving or serviced furnished apartments.
- Basic knowledge of Swiss lease law.
- German.

- Real growth: ambition determines how far you go, results determine how fast.
- Real responsibility and direct feedback, without micromanagement.
