Job description
About Renew
At Renew, we work with some of the largest and most influential owners and operators of apartments in the world, helping hundreds of thousands of renters navigate their lease renewals and find their next home.
Our team consists of industry veterans from top companies like Compass, Essex, Updater, Nike, and Trello - bringing together deep expertise in real estate, technology, and consumer experience. We operate as a remote-first company with a strong, collaborative culture and the backing of world-class investors. With over $20M raised from top institutional funds, Renew is on a mission to make renting more meaningful and valuable for everyone.
Today’s renters are renting for longer, moving more frequently, and investing more in their living spaces. Meanwhile, property managers are expanding, consolidating, and adopting hospitality-inspired strategies to elevate the resident experience and drive long-term loyalty—what we call the hotel-ification of rental housing.
Unlocking the full potential of this shift, requires rethinking the renter relationship and focusing on the critical renewal moment. Too often, valuable renter-property connections break down at the end of a lease, leading to costly turnover and a disjointed renter experience. Renew bridges this gap by helping property managers automate the renewal process, proactively retain residents, and create a frictionless path for renters to stay within their preferred property network—whether in the same apartment, a new apartment at the same property, or at an entirely new location. Renew connects the dots for renters and turns retention into a proactive business strategy for operators.
Join us in making renting more economically and emotionally rewarding for both renters and property managers.
