Growth & Operations Lead (Spanish and English)

Job Description

Job Description

Heather Properties is a small, fast-growing real estate company focused on helping everyday families become homeowners through rent-to-own and creative financing pathways. We’re creative, local, and building something that can scale from dozens of homes to hundreds.

We’re looking for a Growth & Operations Lead who wants to help build this with us.

What You’ll Do

This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role. On any given day, you might:

• Work directly with customers – especially Spanish-speaking families – to explain our programs, answer questions, and guide them through the process.
• Coordinate deals from lead to close: inquiries, applications, inspection scheduling, offer paperwork, customer education, and closings.
• Jump in after-hours when needed – especially evenings and weekends when offers are being written or negotiated on properties.
• Keep the numbers accurate:
  • Maintain up-to-date records of property values, loan balances, rents, and payments in our books
  • Track who has paid, what’s outstanding, and flag issues early
  • Help reconcile property-level cash flows so we always know where we stand
• Support growth operations:
  • Follow up on online leads and referrals
  • Track which neighborhoods, partners, and channels are working best
  • Help document and refine our processes so we can scale from 50 doors to 200+
• Act as a connector between customers, the owner, agents, lenders, inspectors, and vendors so deals actually get done.

If you like variety, ownership, and the feeling of “making the machine run,” you’ll be happy here.

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial operator. You enjoy figuring things out, not just following a script.
• Spanish + English bilingual (or near-fluent) – comfortable translating conversations and documents for Spanish-speaking customers.
• Customer-focused. You can talk comfortably with families who are nervous about money, credit, and home buying.
• Numbers-comfortable. You’re not an accountant, but you’re comfortable in spreadsheets, tracking balances, and making sure the books are accurate.
• Organized and reliable. You can track lots of moving parts without dropping the ball.
• Flexible on hours. You understand that the most important work (offers, negotiations, decision points) often happens in the evenings or on weekends and you’re willing to lean in when deals are moving.

Big plus (not required, but huge):

• Minnesota real estate license (Realtor) or strong interest in getting one.
• Experience in real estate, property management, lending, bookkeeping, sales operations, or small-business ops.

Compensation & Upside

• Competitive base salary for the Twin Cities market, aligned with experience and licensing.
• Performance-based bonus tied to deals closed, portfolio growth, and operational results.
• 50% work from home/remote
• Equity / Phantom Equity:
  • Meaningful equity-like upside tied to company performance.
  • If we hit our growth and valuation targets, there is potential for significant upside at an eventual exit (sale, recap, or similar event).
  • Details will be documented in a formal plan and discussed transparently during the interview process

This is not a corporate middle-management job. This is a “help build the company and participate in the upside” job.

Ideal Background (Examples)

You might be a great fit if you’ve been:

• A Realtor or buyer’s agent frustrated with the feast-or-famine commission game and wanting more stability + upside.
• A property manager, leasing coordinator, or assistant who’s already keeping track of rents and property details and wants more say in strategy and growth.
• A bilingual community/tenant coordinator, loan officer assistant, or sales ops person who loves helping families navigate complex processes and is comfortable in spreadsheets
