About the role
We’re a fast-moving vacant home staging company in Phoenix/Scottsdale looking for someone who can lead installs from start to finish, manage on-site execution, and represent the company with clients and agents. This is not an assistant role.
We work hard but we try to make it fun — a great attitude is a must.
