United States

$139k - $214k

Apartment List is building the most trusted platform for renters to find homes they love. As a marketplace connecting renters with multifamily properties across the country, our platform powers millions of apartment searches each year. Our business model is unique within the rental ecosystem. Unlike traditional Internet Listing Services that charge flat monthly listing fees, Apartment List operates largely on a Pay-Per-Lease (PPL) performance model, meaning our revenue is directly tied to successful renter outcomes. This creates a high-volume transactional billing environment with complex pricing models, partner agreements, and revenue attribution logic. As we approach $200M in annual revenue, the scalability, accuracy and efficiency of our quote-to-cash infrastructure is becoming increasingly critical. Our systems, spanning Salesforce, NetSuite, internally developed lease attribution system, Celigo, Versapay billing and Tesorio collections tools, must evolve to support the next stage of growth. To help lead this transformation, Apartment List is seeking a Senior Revenue Systems Architect to design, improve, modernize, and scale our quote-to-cash systems and processes.
