About Furnished Finder:
Furnished Finder is the trusted leader in monthly rentals. We started in 2014 with a focus on traveling nurses and medical professionals. The site grew exponentially during COVID-19, going from <50,000 homes in 2020 to over 250,000 today, making it one of the fastest-growing consumer peer-to-peer marketplaces. We are now the go-to source for millions of travelers across the country seeking monthly furnished rentals, serving travel professionals of all kinds and increasingly displaced homeowners in need of interim housing. Unlike other rental platforms, we do not interfere with the owner's bookings. No commissions, no booking fees. Our owners charge what they want, when they want, and decide who stays at their property every time.
When you join Furnished Finder, you join a leadership team with over 70+ years of real estate and travel industry experience. As we look ahead to Furnished Finder's next chapter of growth, we seek talented self-starters hungry to grow and learn with this industry-leading team. With roles open in Austin, TX (HQ) and remote, we are growing fast and would love to consider you for our team!
