Job Description

Valet Living is a leading provider of waste, recycling, and compost collection services specifically tailored for multifamily communities. The company is committed to enhancing the living experience for residents by ensuring clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible disposal services. Valet Living is recognized not only for its exceptional operational standards but also for fostering a culture of growth, career advancement, and service excellence. The company places a strong emphasis on leadership that supports employee development, and it offers comprehensive benefits and a positive work environment to help employees thrive both professionally and personally.

The position available is for an Area Leader, a field-based supervisory role at Valet Living. This role involves managing nightly operations of waste, recycling, and compost collection services across 20 to 40 multifamily community properties. The Area Leader will directly manage a team of 15 to 40 part-time Service Valets, ensuring that all services run smoothly, safely, and on schedule. The role is both operational and administrative, with a work schedule primarily from Sunday to Thursday evenings, including core hours and two flexible hours to complete an 8-hour shift. This hybrid role requires spending about 70% of the time in the field and 30% remotely managing administrative tasks.

The Area Leader will be responsible for leading the team by onboarding and training new Service Valets, conducting safety checks, and reinforcing service standards through regular communication and coaching. They will also manage schedules, approve timecards, and maintain service reliability by stepping in to resolve issues as they arise. Monitoring performance through technology tools and maintaining high service quality by visiting properties regularly are integral components of this role.

Additionally, the Area Leader supports daily administrative duties such as assisting with hiring processes, distributing supplies and equipment, monitoring staffing levels and costs with the Operations Manager, supporting special projects or service recovery initiatives, and overseeing the maintenance and safety of the company fleet vehicles. The role demands strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills as well as a hands-on approach to leadership.

Valet Living values candidates who bring supervisory experience, are detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and data-driven, with the ability to adapt quickly to challenges. Candidates must hold a high school diploma or GED, possess a valid driver’s license with the ability to operate a company vehicle, and meet physical requirements that include lifting up to 50 pounds, walking long distances, and working outdoors in varying weather conditions. The role requires tolerance for disagreeable odors common to waste management environments.

Working at Valet Living offers more than just a job; it offers a career path in a supportive culture that prioritizes continuous improvement and service excellence. The company provides an attractive pay range with a company vehicle, extensive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, financial security with a 401k match and insurance options, paid time off, professional development opportunities including tuition reimbursement, and various additional perks such as referral bonuses and wellness programs. Valet Living is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion across its workforce. This opportunity is ideal for individuals who aspire to grow in a dynamic supervisory role within an essential service industry.
