Who We Are
Waste Solution Services (WSS) helps multifamily and commercial portfolios lower and stabilize waste spend. We do not haul trash — we sit between clients and haulers to audit invoices, optimize contracts, right-size service, and manage vendor issues. Our value is simple: NOI lift, cost predictability, and fewer operational fires.
The Role (What You’ll Do)
We are hiring a Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to build and lead WSS's entire revenue organization.

This person will work directly with the Managing Partners and have significant influence over the company's growth strategy, organizational structure, technology, hiring, and go-to-market strategy.
