Director, Strategic Initiatives & Partner Ecosystem

• →Quarterback each new partner launch: kickoffs, requirements, dependencies across the
  partner and internal teams, target dates, and launch velocity
• →Serve as the partner's primary point of accountability throughout implementation,
  working closely with the technical owners who design the integration
• →Own launch velocity as a program: spot slipping launches early and pull in the right
  owner before a slip becomes a miss
• →Build working fluency in the MLS technology ecosystem, deep enough to run the room
  and know when an answer doesn't add up

• Turn how integrations get delivered into a repeatable, documented, increasingly
  automated system, so standard launches no longer depend on any one person
• Equip customer-facing teammates to run standard launches themselves, building their
  fluency and the playbooks they run from
• Use AI to eliminate the repetitive work in the integration process, and keep the operating
  model scalable as partner volume grows

• Drive strategic initiatives from concept to measurable outcome, owning the plan, the
  milestones, the cross-functional dependencies, and the results, across Product,
  Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and external partners
• Manage a portfolio of concurrent initiatives at different stages, sequencing against CEO
  priorities and reallocating focus as the business shifts, including knowing which bets to
  stop
• Take ownership of highly ambiguous opportunities, creating the structure, accountability,
  and operating rhythm that turn a vague mandate into shipped work with named owners
  and dates
• Build executive-level business cases and implementation plans, define the success
  metrics, and report progress and results to leadership on a regular cadence
• Own initiatives that expand RentSpree's marketplace ecosystem: driving adoption of
  embedded application workflows across MLSs and listing platforms, improving rental
  listing syndication, and advancing strategic technology partnerships from first
  conversation to live outcome

Our job descriptions evolve with our business needs and priorities. Your role may include other tasks, projects, and team support.

• 10+ years leading cross-functional programs, business operations, enablement, or
  strategic initiatives, with a track record of both running complex programs yourself and
  building systems other people run
• A track record of driving multiple concurrent initiatives to measurable outcomes, not just
  strategy decks: your success is what shipped
• Deep real estate industry knowledge from the brokerage or agent side, and the drive to
  build MLS-technology fluency fast
• Experience enabling a customer-facing team: training, playbooks, or tooling that
  measurably sped people up and made them self-sufficient
• Comfort sitting between Engineering, Product, Sales, and external partners, translating
  cleanly in every direction and influencing without authority
• Experience working closely with founders or executive leadership on company-wide
  priorities: operating rhythms, executive communications, and decision support
• A bias for action and comfort with ambiguity. You find scrappy paths forward without
  sacrificing quality
• AI fluency: hands-on use of AI tools and workflows to eliminate repetitive work. You'll be
  expected to build with it, not just talk about it
• Bonus: you've onboarded SaaS or proptech partners, managed MLS tech vendors,
  worked inside or alongside an MLS

These are the principles we hire for and hold ourselves to:

• Own it end to end. Drive projects from idea to execution. Take pride in the work. Do what it takes.
• Communicate like a teammate. Direct, candid, and respectful. Give feedback well, receive it well, and build trust through transparency.
• Hold a high bar. Think critically. Stay curious. Keep looking for ways to do it better.
• Stay adaptable. Anticipate challenges, take initiative, and bring resourcefulness to whatever comes next.
• Be audacious, learn loudly: Take the big swings our mission demands, treat every outcome as impact or a lesson, and share what you learn early and openly so the whole company grows stronger.
• Debate well, commit fully. Push back constructively, contribute your point of view, then align and move together.
• AI is a core skill. Use AI tools to move faster and think sharper.
• Think in systems. See the whole pipeline, not the single ticket. Fix the root cause so the same problem doesn't come back, and design so the next person never hits the same problem.

RentSpree has teams in the US and Bangkok. Collaboration across that distance requires a shared window: Monday-Thursday, 5–7pm PT / 7-9am ICT. How often you're in SpreeHours depends on your role, team, and projects. Any SpreeHours you work, you take back as flex time the same week. Outside of SpreeHours, your schedule is yours.

If you take ownership, move with urgency, and want to work on problems that matter, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to meet every requirement. If this feels like the right place to do your best work, reach out.
