Breakwater is a Los Angeles-based PropTech studio operating at the intersection of real estate and modern hospitality. They combine technology with creator-driven distribution to unlock new ways to own, operate, and scale hospitality assets.
The company builds AI-native software that delivers immediate, measurable ROI for prosumer hospitality operators—those running short-term rentals, vacation rentals, and independent hotels. Today, Breakwater is a 14-person team scaling rapidly in close partnership with global venture builder Bifrost Studios.
We are hiring a Founder’s Associate to serve as the operational backbone of Breakwater. This is described internally as our most important and impactful hire. The role exists to free up the founders to focus on strategy, product, and fundraising by providing execution firepower and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
You will own studio operations end-to-end, run our GTM pipeline, and keep our fundraising machine investor-ready at all times. Without this role, operational bottlenecks constrain founder bandwidth and slow everything down. With you in the seat, the entire studio moves faster.

If you thrive in high-ownership, high-ambiguity environments and want to be the person who makes a fast-growing PropTech studio actually run, we’d love to hear from you.
