Our mission at Groma is to build and operate a real-estate-backed cryptocurrency for the world. In doing so, we hope to provide an alternative stable global currency, democratize real estate ownership, and help to build better cities. Given our goals, Groma is one part real estate firm, one part technology startup. As a real estate firm, we focus on acquiring, renovating, and developing buildings in the cities in which we operate. As a technology startup, we focus on enabling the efficient operation of the real estate arm of the business, expressing all of our real estate assets on the blockchain, and building the digital currency that represents fractional ownership of our real estate portfolio.
Groma’s Property Operations department is recruiting for Summer Leasing Associates with exceptional communication and collaborative skills. This associate program will provide a unique opportunity to work with every team member across Groma including Asset Management, Facilities, and Finance departments. A successful candidate will be eager to learn new skills across a variety of disciplines, and welcome the challenge of designing strategies, programs and solutions from the ground up.
As a part of the Groma Leasing team, this position will primarily be responsible for listing, showing, and closing residential leases for prospective renters looking to find a new home during Boston's busiest leasing season. The duration of the program is roughly 16 weeks long, beginning mid-May and ending late August (early September if possible), though exact timing will be discussed at time of offer. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain professional insight in the real estate brokerage marketplace in the greater Boston area and learn about fair housing regulations. Here at Groma, we focus on employee education and engagement to keep everyone growing and learning.

Most individuals looking for a new place to live tend to do so outside normal working hours and we have created structures that balance our teams schedules with our renters needs. What we’ve done is structured working hours that shift later into the evening and have team members working alternating weekends, but balance it out with 4 day weekends on your “off” weekends as well as flexible vacation time and 14 company holidays. Here is what a standard month might look like:

We are focused on maintaining our dynamic in-office culture at Groma’s headquarters in beautiful downtown Boston, Massachusetts. We believe that in-person collaboration and spontaneous interpersonal interaction is critical to the company’s success. Also, our office is great. We own the whole building and have made it very much our own space. We’ve got a gym, locker rooms, a game room, a rooftop area, and all the normal stuff to make an office an effective and fun place to be.
We have an ever-evolving list of values and conventions that guide how we operate as a company, but here’s a high-level overview of how we think about doing what we do:
