Senior Human Resources Business Partner

About Us

Avenue One is a disruptive force in U.S. real estate, professionalizing the rental experience for thousands of families across the country. A “prop-tech scaleup” by definition, we are a service platform that enables investors to access single-family rental (SFR) homes by connecting an ecosystem of boots-on-the-ground, local partners to institutional financing. We are in the business of partnerships: finding, vetting and empowering local experts nationwide to find, buy, renovate, lease, and manage properties on behalf of our clients.

We find and purchase properties and coordinate the efforts of our partners through a proprietary technology stack. This system takes in huge amounts of data at national and local levels, which combined with information about each individual property, gives us and our partners a competitive advantage in pricing, speed, and scale. The technology is constantly evolving to remain best-in-class, but it is only as good as our team that drives it, which is where you come in.
