Fox Real Estate is at the forefront of bringing hospitality to residential real estate. A s a young, fast-growing firm, we specialize in repositioning real estate assets to maximize value while offering marketing, leasing, and property management services to 3rd party property owners and on our own fully owned properties (we don't just talk the talk, we do it on ourselves too).

We are non-traditional, tech-savvy, and passionate about creating unique experiences for our residents. At Fox Real Estate, we believe in working hard and pushing boundaries, proving that what others may deem "crazy" is simply our way of leading the market.

If you are ready to contribute to a company doing avant-garde things and helping redefine real estate, join us in continuing to make an impact across North America.

Reports To: Founder

Location: Fully on-site in Montreal

The Challenge

Our founder is trapped doing operational follow-up instead of growing the business. You're the person who will create and maintain systematic accountability across our operations so that he can focus on acquiring new properties and expanding into new markets.

What You'll Do

Free up the founder: Implement systems that eliminate his need for operational follow-up within 90 days.

Manage 5 team leaders: Leasing, Tickets, Reporting, Cashflow, Tech - make them accountable through KPIs and consequences, not micromanaging.

Build for scale: Create operational systems that work at 1000+ units across multiple markets.

What Success Looks Like

Month 1-3: You eliminate founder involvement in daily operations

Month 4-6: Team leaders operate independently with weekly check-ins only

Month 7-12: You manage full operational expansion into new markets

Month 13-18: Full COO transition as we scale to 1000+ units

You Need

Leadership experience: 5+ years managing teams. Legal, auditing, or accounting backgrounds excel - you understand systematic accountability.

Tech-savvy: Master complex systems quickly (HubSpot, ClickUp, Google Workspace + 15+ tools).

Startup DNA: Build from scratch, figure things out independently, thrive in organized chaos.

Bilingual: Fluent French/English is truly essential. Full-time presence on-site in our Montreal office.

What We Offer

Competitive salary + performance bonuses + COO promotion path in 18-24 months with equity participation.

WARNING (PLEASE READ): If you prefer rigid corporate structures, need detailed job descriptions for every task, or want predictable 9-to-5 schedules, we're not the right fit. We're looking for someone energized by building something special and ready to help us push boundaries.

Ready to build operational excellence that frees our founder to grow something extraordinary? Send your application to careers@foxre.co and mention that you love foxes so we know you read this till the end :)
