Meet Ben Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Smith started his career at Yardi just after graduating from college a little over a year ago. Smith spends his days working payment exceptions and making payments online for utilities. He also researches to determine the eligibility of vendors to go live on the BPX service as well as bring vendors live to it. He collaborates with other teams to resolve payment issues they might discover and continues to build a stronger foundation for this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy that this service is something uncommon in the industry currently. It feels that we are doing our best to improve the overall flow of payment processing for both Yardi and clients. There is so much to learn about what Yardi does, and I love that it\u2019s easy to reach out and learn about products and services totally unrelated to mine,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wealth of Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith finds the work culture at Yardi to have a good balance between teamwork and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur team probably works more independently than most others in the division, but that doesn\u2019t prevent us from collaborating with each other or other teams,\u201d Smith shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work environment has always been opening and welcoming for Smith. Yardi is a company that continues to take care of its employees while being a leading force in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are plenty of opportunities for all walks of life, and there is a wealth of knowledge to learn. I can feel at ease knowing I\u2019ll be able to provide for my family and see myself spending a long time with the company,\u201d shared Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi is hiring globally! Interested prospective employees can explore opportunities on the Careers site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing Homeownership, Hobbies and Happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith is a first-time homeowner which takes up most of his free time\u2014unpacking, arranging furniture and setting things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels like I\u2019ve been juggling so many items simultaneously, but it has felt very fulfilling,\u201d enthused Smith. (We agree!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith also enjoys long walks with his dog, listening to music, and playing games online with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith also recently picked up playing euphonium again and said it feels so rewarding to play music again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
