Leasing Operations Lead

Boom
Austin, TX
Job Description
Role Overview

Boom is looking for a detail-oriented, process-driven Leasing Operations Lead to own the end-to-end applicant experience on behalf of our property management partners. This is a new function at Boom - you'll be the person who builds it.

What You Will Do

Manage end-to-end application review across a portfolio of residential properties - document collection, income verification, status communication, and final decision guidance. Issue approvals, conditional approvals, and denials in accordance with property-specific screening criteria, fair housing regulations, and FCRA requirements.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Highly organized, comfortable with high-volume applicant workflows, hands-on experience with income and document verification, and energized by writing the playbook - not just following one.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in residential leasing, applicant operations, or a closely related property management role
  • Hands-on experience reviewing income documentation — pay stubs, bank statements, employment letters — and making qualification decisions against defined criteria
  • Working knowledge of fair housing laws, FCRA requirements, and adverse action procedures
  • Strong written communication skills
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple open applications and partner relationships simultaneously
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment where you're building the process, not inheriting it
  • Experience with property management software (AppFolio, Yardi, Rent Manager, or similar) is a plus

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with stock options
  • Full healthcare coverage (health, dental, vision) including 50% coverage for dependents
  • 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year + 3 sick days + all US federal holidays (11 in total)
  • Company-issued laptop/MacBook
  • Company-sponsored training & development
  • Regular off-sites, retreats, and other company-sponsored events and travel opportunities
