ABOUT VTS

VTS is the fastest-growing Proptech company in the history of commercial real estate (CRE). We have transformed a $15 trillion dollar industry with our award-winning platform which is used to manage over 60% of all office buildings. We’re continuing to expand our product offerings and are building the industry’s first and only online marketing software and end-to-end leasing marketplace, VTS Market. VTS Market will enable landlords to market their available spaces more effectively, and help tenant rep brokers and their tenants easily find and lease space online – a process that has traditionally been offline and difficult.

It’s an exciting time to join the VTS team – we recently reached unicorn status after raising $90 million in series D funding led by our clients (believed to be the largest venture financing in the history of commercial real estate software), we recently made the Forbes Cloud 100 list of the hottest private cloud companies, and were named one of Crain's best places to work!

Our headquarters are in NYC, but we have hubs in other major US cities, Toronto, CA, and London, UK.

How does this Position help VTS Succeed?

Interested in being at the forefront of a commercial real estate software revolution? Are you crazy-passionate about data and creating high-performing outcomes? Are you a natural-born leader and storyteller?

VTS is looking for a highly motivated, experienced, and dynamic Lead Product Manager to guide the development of tools that will transform the way commercial real estate (CRE) operates. This individual will be responsible for discovering new, creative ways to help brokers, landlords, and tenants communicate optimally and fostering critical relationships. As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll oversee a team of Product Managers and work directly with a lean, highly-effective Agile development team. You’ll also work cross-functionally with every aspect of the business to build — and ship — the most innovative solutions the CRE space has ever seen. Bring your thinking cap, your analytical skills, and whatever inspires your creativity; we have a very aggressive plan in mind to revolutionize this space.
