Job summary

RentSpree is seeking a Director, Strategic Initiatives & Partner Ecosystem to own end-to-end partner integrations and drive scalable workflows. You’ll report to the CEO and lead cross-functional initiatives spanning Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations.

You’ll build playbooks and repeatable processes, enable customer-facing teams, and leverage AI to increase efficiency as partner volume grows.

Qualifications

• 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

Responsibilities

• Own partner integrations end to end.
• Build the system that scales past you by creating repeatable, documented processes and playbooks.
• Lead CEO-sponsored strategic initiatives from concept to measurable outcomes across multiple functions.
• Drive adoption of embedded application workflows and improve listing syndication and partnerships.
