Portfolio management and resident services for 50K+ single-family rental homes
FirstKey Homes operates a 50,000+ unit rental portfolio across 28 markets, anchored on property management systems (Yardi Voyager, Yardi) and customer engagement tools (Zendesk, Qualtrics). Hiring is operations-heavy and accelerating: 53 open ops roles against minimal engineering (1 headcount) signals a company scaling manual workflows and vendor coordination rather than product infrastructure. Active projects center on resident lifecycle touchpoints and compliance automation—vendor performance and timely service completion appear as recurring friction points.
