About the role:

What you’ll do:

• Serve as the primary escalation point for complex cases that require judgment beyond the specialist level
• Coordinate cross-functionally with acquisition, renovation, resale, and finance teams

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you'll be the bridge between Toronto execution and US-based teams
• High accountability and bias toward action; you fix problems before they become someone else's escalation
• Comfortable in ambiguity; processes are still being built and you'll be a primary architect of how this team operates
