Business Development Manager

Bungalow is hiring a Business Development Manager (BDM) to grow properties under management across the U.S. While you will be based in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego, you will sell Bungalow’s services nationwide into other high-cost-of-living markets such as New York City, Seattle, and similar urban metros.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for generating leads, running sales conversations, and closing new property partnerships.

This is a high-impact, relationship-driven role where your performance directly drives your income and career growth.

About Our Client:

Bungalow is a fast-growing residential real estate and co-living platform on a mission to make beautiful, flexible, and more affordable housing accessible while fostering strong community connections.

As one of the largest co-living networks in the U.S., Bungalow continues to innovate in residential living by delivering both convenience and meaningful community in vibrant urban markets.

You will receive structured training, proven systems, and ongoing support to help you succeed. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, coachable, and performance-driven, with a strong desire to grow alongside a nationally recognized housing platform.
