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.
Requirements
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

Requirements

- 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
Benefits
How compensation works
- Paid per task (rates vary by task type and city)
