Position Snapshot Position Corporate Board Advisor – Property Management Company Please Assist Me Compensation 0.1% - 0.25% (2-year vesting, 1-year cliff, quarterly thereafter) Location Remote (Global, US preferred) Founder(s) Stephanie Cummings Website Pleaseassistme.com Organizational Overview Please Assist Me (PAM) is an app that helps you manage household chores by connecting you with reliable personal assistants. We partner with the owners of apartment complexes and multi-family units to provide worry-free on-demand home services to their residents. Tenants can use PAM to schedule our trusted assistants directly from their phones. With a few simple clicks, they’ll have someone to take care of those important but time-consuming tasks—dry cleaning, dishes, laundry, dusting, vacuuming, and other errands. We can even do the grocery shopping or gift wrapping around the holidays! Please Assist Me works directly with apartment complexes to increase the value they offer to their tenants. We have an amazing, Rockstar team that is highly trained, highly insured, and highly trustworthy. All of our assistants go through a selective hiring process. Once they pass a background check and are trained, they work in teams of two and wear body cams while working in the property. With the Please Assist Me App, access to a worry-free household help is at our client’s fingertips. Since starting in 2017, we have partnered with residential complexes in Tennessee and Washington, DC. Please Assist Me participated in Cohort 1 of Backstage Accelerator and was the winner of the HERImpact DC Pitch Competition and the Paley Rothman Vinetta Project Venture Challenge. Board Member’s Impact Potential Please Assist Me has had early success with product-market fit in their existing service areas but to reach our goal of becoming a leading company in the Proptech sector we will need to draw on the expertise of seasoned industry professionals. That is why we are searching for business executives to join our company as corporate board advisors. New team members in this role can expect to be involved with discussing and identifying potential strategies, new markets, possible areas of improvement, and future challenges. As Please Assist Me continues to grow to scale, board advisors should be able to draw on their prior business experience and contacts to solve relevant problems, make valuable connections, and offer guidance to the CEO, and the management team, on important business decisions. What Can Be Accomplished As one of two property management board advisors on an advisory board of four board members, you will have the opportunity to participate in a promising start-up during our most pivotal period of growth. You will be able to use your connections and abilities to enable Please Assist Me to expand our reach on the eastern seaboard to large urban areas like New York, Miami, and Atlanta. Through your role, you will be able to work with other top-level advisors to identify how and where Please Assist Me can best focus our time, attention, and resources. You’ll gain experience in corporate governance and teamwork as you and the other board advisors work to shape the future of the company and our employees. It is our goal to improve the current landscape of residential rental properties for both residents and property managers. We aim to do this by taking an experiential approach to amenities and integrated living, and by offering affordable and accessible Proptech. We don’t just plan on growing; we plan on growing fast. As we grow to scale, our corporate advisor will ensure we stay true to our vision by stimulating growth while keeping internal systems robust enough to handle new customers. Advisors will also be looked to for input as we define a uniform company brand and message, grow our reputation with property management companies, and increase our number of permanent contracts. As Please Assist Me continues our upward trajectory, corporate advisors will have the chance to work together to use their skills to review and analyze customer and industry data to refine our business practices, propose new features, identify high-value market prospects and develop sales strategies.
