Why this is a great job
Culdesac’s first neighborhood is opening in 2021 and if it works (and it might, given how people’s preferences around their living situations are changing during COVID), there will be lots of meaty scaling challenges to tackle. The real question: will Rabois move here (and tweet about it)?
The nitty gritty
Company website: www.culdesac.co
Location: Tempe, AZ
Culdesac's mission is to build cities for people, not cars. We're the first post-car real estate developer, and our goal is to build the first car-free city in the US. We're starting with the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch - that's Culdesac Tempe, a 1000-person neighborhood that opens 2021.
All of this draws from a core insight: the way we move defines the way we live. And the way we move is changing fast, with countless ways to get around today beyond private cars. Here's more.
Business Operations at Culdesac is a high impact role where you will have the ability to help shape the direction of the company. This is a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary role. You'll lead or support various initiatives based on the needs of the business. Your role is to be an effective generalist. You ramp up quickly in this fast-paced, growing environment. You solve problems. And you empower others to do their best work.
