**About Rent Responsibly**

Rent Responsibly is an education and community-building platform for short-term rental operators as well as an association management service provider to short-term rental associations around the country.

Rent Responsibly is a 100% remote team. We collaborate daily through Slack and Google Workspace. We don't measure our days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but through productivity and execution. Our teammates must be self-directed and have (or be able to create) the ideal remote work environment for themselves.

We are a small but nimble and enthusiastic team, so those who are willing to jump in with both feet on team projects, wear multiple hats, and then switch those hats on the fly will be happiest here. We invest in our teammates' growth, too, including professional development resources and opportunities to take on higher roles as the company grows.

Rent Responsibly is proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace, and we encourage people of all backgrounds to apply. Your race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression do not matter to us; only your merit, passion, and kindness do.
