Empire Flippers has no side project policy. If you accept this role, you must be willing to work solely for Empire Flippers. This disqualification includes freelancing and other part-time positions.
Our Operations team will review every application that comes our way. For those we think would be a good fit, we will schedule an interview. Typically, we do two rounds of interviews before we decide.
The cut-off date for applying is February 21, 2021. That will leave us a time to review all the applications, and give you time if you’re hired to prepare to start with the company on April 5, 2021.
If this all sounds overwhelming yet exciting to you, then apply! You might be surprised how perfect you are for this role.
