Entry Level Business Development Analyst (Founder's Associate)
Hawkhill Property Services
Colleyville, TX 76034 | Hybrid | Full-time
$45,000 - $55,000 a year + uncapped commission
The Role
We're hiring an entry-level Founder's Associate to work directly with the management team that helped start the single-family rental industry.
This is a generalist seat at an institutionally backed, tech-enabled property services platform - and it's deliberately broad. You'll work alongside our founders on business development, market research, and investing - how deals get underwritten, how portfolios get operated, and how institutional capital moves.
Very few entry-level roles put you this close to the people making the decisions. There is no better way to learn how a real business gets built than to touch every part of it - that's the job.
What You'll Do
- Drive growth: build target lists, run outreach campaigns, and get on the phone with property managers, agents, and portfolio owners to open new relationships
- Support business development end to end - from first outreach to meetings booked to signed work
- Work directly with the founding team on growth initiatives, market research, and competitive analysis
- Get hands-on exposure to the investing side of the platform - underwriting, portfolio operations, and how institutional capital actually moves
- Help build and use the modern, AI-enabled tools that power the business
- Write - emails, pitches, one-pagers, summaries. Clear written communication is half this job
- Pitch in on operations when the business needs it - supplier runs, job-site support, whatever keeps a project moving. Everyone here does this, including the founders
Who You Are
This role is built for someone early in their career who is hungry, coachable, and wants reps - not a title.
Required:
- Genuine appetite for growth and new business - comfortable reaching out to people you don't know and starting conversations, on the phone and in person
- Excellent communication skills, spoken and written - this is highly weighted
- Self-directed and organized; able to manage your own work and follow through without daily supervision
- No-task-too-small attitude - you take the analysis and the errand with the same energy
- Curious about real estate, investing, technology, and how businesses scale
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent hustle
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Nice to have:
- Sales, fundraising, recruiting, or customer-facing experience of any kind
- Interest in real estate private equity, SFR, or multifamily
Why This Role
Most entry-level jobs give you a narrow lane and keep you in it. This one puts you next to a founding team that has been in single-family rental since the very beginning of the asset class - a team that has invested and managed over $13 billion in capital, operated 65,000+ homes across 30+ states, and brings 20+ years of operating experience building top-10 SFR platforms.
You'll learn how institutional investors think, how deals get underwritten, how technology transforms a traditional industry, and how new business actually gets won. It's the kind of experience that normally takes years - or the right last name - to access. If you perform, the path here is real.
