Familiarity with European property operations is optional. Personality matters: service-oriented and proactive, flexible, practical, low-drama and detail-aware without getting stuck in perfection. Sharp enough to catch what counts, wise enough to move. If you love making things work for others and you are ready to bring bold, real, people-first energy to the work, this role offers autonomy, trust and variety.
