About the role

Gap Year at Buena

Start 01.09-01.10

You won't shadow. You'll own real work from week one, ship a concrete deliverable in every rotation, and leave with a clear read on what you're good at. Then you decide whether you still need the degree you were about to start.

The year

You'll rotate through several of these teams, ~3 months each. We choose the path mutually.

People / HR. Help running the OS of Buena.

People / Recruiting (PortCo & HQ). Own a hiring pipeline and find the right people.

Ops / DD. Inside live acquisitions. Run the numbers.

Ops / PMI. Post-Merger Integration. Make another company part of Buena.

Engineering. Work on the software that runs property management at scale.

Product. Gather specs and understand what makes a great product.

Design. Ideate on good design with our Creative Director
