Operations Partner (Flexible Contract - Emeryville)

At Blueground, we’re building the world’s leading platform for flexible living — with 40,000+ fully furnished homes across 40+ cities.

We’re looking for reliable, hands-on individuals to support our field operations during high-demand periods. If you’re someone who likes staying active, solving problems on the go, and working independently — this could be a great fit.

💡 What this role really is

This is flexible, on-demand work where you complete tasks across the city — from apartment inspections to simple fixes and key handoffs.

Think of it as a paid, real-world problem-solving role:

• You’re out in the field
• You follow clear instructions
• You get things done

The more available and reliable you are, the more work (and earnings) you unlock.

🛠 What you’ll do

• Conduct apartment inspections before check-ins and after check-outs (using a mobile checklist)
• Take clear photos and document unit condition
• Handle key pickups/drop-offs and simple delivery tasks
• Perform basic fixes (e.g., replacing batteries, tightening fixtures, minor touch-ups)
• Troubleshoot simple issues like WiFi resets or access problems
• Support last-minute tasks to keep apartments guest-ready

👉 Most tasks are straightforward and guided — attention to detail matters more than technical expertise.

👀 Who this is perfect for

You’ll do well here if you:

• Like working independently without constant supervision
• Are reliable and follow instructions carefully
• Are comfortable being on the move throughout the day
• Enjoy hands-on, practical work
• Communicate clearly and flag issues early

Great backgrounds include:

• Field operations / property management
• Delivery or logistics roles
• Task-based work (TaskRabbit, gig work, etc.)
• Maintenance or handyman experience (a plus, not required)

✅ Requirements

• Ability to lift and move items (~30 lbs)
• Valid drivers license and reliable transportation
• Comfortable using mobile apps, Slack, and basic digital tools
• Strong attention to detail (photos + notes are key)
• Availability on weekdays and/or weekends

💰 How compensation works

• Paid per task (rates vary by task type and city)
• Multiple tasks can be assigned per day
• Performance-based opportunity:
  → The more tasks you complete reliably, the more work you receive

📅 How scheduling works

• You share your weekly availability
• Tasks are assigned based on that availability (often short notice)
• Reliable partners get priority access to more work
