Operations Associate, Home Quality
Turn good homes into great move-ins—end to end.
About the Home Quality Team
What we do goes far beyond prepping a home for listing. Our work is about quality—as a mindset, a standard, and a promise to residents and homeowners. From the moment a home is ready to start work to the moment it’s loved, our team ensures that every step—inspections, repairs, cleaning, photography, listings—reflects our commitment to delivering homes that meet Belong’s standards.
About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on operator who owns a portfolio of homes from inspection → scope → repairs → QA → photos → listing → move-in. You’ll translate inspection findings into action, coordinate contractors and schedules, manage revenues executed and timelines, and keep every stakeholder aligned. If you’re proactive, organized, and energized by making things happen fast—and right—this role is for you. This isn’t a sit-back role. You’ll chase blockers, re-sequence work on the fly, jump on details when needed, and keep momentum until keys are in a resident’s hand.
What You’ll Do
Own the home journey: Take each assigned home from inspection to move-in ready, ensuring scope, schedule, and revenues executed are clear and delivered.
Turn findings into plans: Convert inspection notes into punch lists; define scope, materials, and sequencing (repairs → cleaning → photos).
Coordinate the doers: Work daily with inspectors, handypeople, painters, cleaners, locksmiths, and photographers—ensuring access and day-of readiness.
Schedule with precision: Book vendors, stack work efficiently, and re-sequence quickly to protect timelines.
Guard the standard: Run pre- and post-repair QA; confirm photo-readiness; ensure listing criteria and brand standards are met.
Drive revenue execution: Compare quotes, choose the most affordable trusted option, and push work to completion and invoicing to realize revenues.
Communicate clearly: Keep homeowners, internal teams (Sales, Vendor Ops, Listings, Support), and residents updated—no surprises.
De-risk early: Escalate access issues, power/water, furnished homes, or special conditions quickly to avoid delays.
Track everything: Keep the source-of-truth updated in our product—every task, date, and invoice.

The Company
What We Do
There is more than one American Dream. Owning your home is one of those dreams. It's been an aspiration for a long time, and we know that millions struggle to achieve it. But there are other American Dreams.
Some of these dreams are about living differently than previous generations - for whom owning was everything. We may want to use our cash to start a business. We may want to experience new places. We may not have the money yet for home ownership, but still dream of living in a glorious home where we can put down roots and experience the sense of belonging.
