Expansion Associate (M/F) - 100%

You don't give up at the first rejection, nor the tenth. You handle a list on a Friday afternoon with the same care as on a Monday morning, and you see through what you've started, so that nothing remains pending and nothing ages in silence in a corner. You don't need anyone over your shoulder to maintain your level of demand. And when a case doesn't fit the process, you report it instead of jury-rigging a solution.

If you recognize yourself in these lines, you are in the right place.

As an Expansion Associate, you are Room Estate's apartment hunter in French-speaking Switzerland, with an emphasis on Geneva. You are responsible for apartment acquisition from A to Z: you sift through the market, evaluate each apartment from a coliving perspective, visit it on-site, apply on our behalf, follow up, and manage the file until the lease is signed. It's a role for action-takers, and that's precisely its strength: frequency, tenacity, and a sense of responsibility within a clearly defined process. Our guiding principle: growth comes from high-frequency ad sorting, rigorous evaluation, and systematic follow-ups, not from lucky breaks. You work closely with our Head of Acquisition Team, who makes decisions on discretionary cases, and your work is measured by what ultimately matters: acquired rooms, signed leases, and the quality of what you bring back.

Tasks

• You systematically sift through real estate portals, every day, with a keen eye for what's suitable.

• You evaluate each apartment from a coliving perspective: floor plan, condition, building, and whether the owner is ready to play the game.

• You organize visits and go on-site to verify on the actual property what the listing promises.

• You apply on our behalf and position Room Estate as the tenant every property management company wants.

• You follow up until a decision is made. No file gets stalled.

• You manage the file until signing and review the lease using our checklist: critical points, missing clauses, and discrepancies with the listing.

• You keep track of files updated: every property entered, every traceable status.

Requirements

• Sense of responsibility and autonomy. You drive a process from start to finish at a high frequency and a reliable pace, you see each follow-up through, and you don't let any file get stalled. This is the core of this role.

• Excellent command of French, both written and spoken, for communication with property management companies and owners.

• Tenacity and negotiation skills, the Geneva rental market often says no, and this doesn't faze you.

• An eye for floor plans, you can immediately see if coliving works in an apartment and how many rooms are realistic.

• Rigor in working with checklists, you complete every item rather than doing things roughly, and you identify discrepancies. No specialized knowledge of lease law is required.

• Category B driving license and availability for regular visits in Geneva, the Lake Geneva region, and the rest of French-speaking Switzerland.

• Fluent English, both written and spoken, our internal working language.

BONUS

• Experience in the Swiss real estate sector (property management training, USPI courses, brokerage activity)

• Existing network with property management companies and owners in Geneva and the Lake Geneva region

• Experience in the world of coliving or serviced furnished apartments

• Basic knowledge of Swiss lease law

• German

Benefits

• Fixed salary plus a progressive bonus for each acquired room, with no ceiling: the more rooms you acquire, the more you earn per room.

• Office in Lausanne, with the possibility of remote work on certain days

• Equipment of your choice (laptop, monitor, accessories)

• Documented processes and checklists, and a team lead for exceptions, so you can do your part accurately instead of improvising

• A role that is yours: you are not part of an acquisition team, you are the acquisition for French-speaking Switzerland

• An international and supportive team, with a true learning culture

• Continuing education budget (courses, books, conferences)

• Real growth: your ambition determines how far you go, your results determine how fast. Your scope of responsibility grows with both.

At Room Estate, you benefit from real responsibilities and direct feedback, without micromanagement or corporate jargon. We use the informal 'tu', we say things as they are, and we are demanding: you have the right to be just as demanding with us.

Team seminars, an annual summer party, and close collaboration with colleagues from different countries are part of the adventure and expand your personal and professional network. But the essential point is simple: we want to progress every day and we are looking for people who want to do the same. Here, you take on a role that matters, in an international environment, and you actively contribute to shaping the future of coliving in Europe.
