Job description

At Compass, our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world. Founded in 2012, we’re revolutionizing the real estate industry with our end-to-end platform that empowers residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients.

Compass International Holdings is seeking a Program Manager of Inventory Strategy & Enablement to own the national programs that increase inventory on the platform. This role exists for one reason: agents across our ten brands should win more listing agreements, launch them through our technology platform, and do it as a matter of habit rather than a one-time campaign.

You will own the full arc, from identifying where the opportunity is, to designing the program, to piloting it in a brand and/or region, to rolling it out across every brand and making it stick. You will also own the creation and distribution of what the field actually receives: the playbooks, the talk tracks, the training, and the follow-through that turn a strategy into agent behavior.

This is a builder and operator role. You will learn from what has already worked, bring structure and rigor to scale it, and hold yourself accountable to a number. If you are energized by turning ideas into programs that move measurable inventory, this is the seat.

What You'll Own

Inventory Adoption & Portfolio Strategy

• Contribute to and deliver the national strategy for driving inventory onto the platform across agent segments and brands, grounded in field research and discovery, not assumption
• Design programs that create behavior change and habit formation, so agents consistently win listing agreements and launch them through Compass technology
• Translate product capability into adoption strategy that resonates with the field, framed in agent and client value rather than feature language, across each brand
• Manage project scopes, charters, and risk mitigation strategies across high-priority inventory growth workstreams
• Identify where the biggest inventory unlocks sit, by brand, by region, by segment, and go after them in priority order

Program Build and National Scale

• Own the end-to-end project lifecycle of adoption initiatives, defining key milestones, deliverables, resource allocation, and timelines from ideation to national rollout
• Build standardized project management frameworks, governance models, playbooks, and systems to scale program delivery without linear headcount
• Run the readiness path end-to-end for every initiative: workback schedule built and approved by the regions and Legal, assets created for each brand plus a generic version, and employees, agents, and staff trained before launch
• Keep programs aligned to the business priorities they serve: inventory growth, agent productivity, and retention
• Establish robust risk management and issue tracking protocols to proactively resolve project bottlenecks and dependency conflicts

Field Enablement and Standardization

• Own the design and launch of the enablement and training that carry each program into the field, including brand-adaptable decks, talk tracks, and seller-facing collateral
• Build frameworks that create consistency and standardization across regions and brands, while leaving room for each brand's voice
• Partner with Academy, Coaching, and brand learning teams on development and rollout, and hold the accountability for whether the field is genuinely equipped
• Identify operational gaps in how regional teams execute and implement scalable fixes

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders at every level, from agents and regional staff to brand leadership
• Partner with Product to align adoption strategy with the feature roadmap and release cycles
• Work with Marketing, Product Marketing, and Communications to position tools around agent and client value
• Serve as the connective tissue between regional teams and central functions, and translate field feedback into actionable insight for partner teams
• Embed adoption into daily workflows and conversations with Brand Leadership, Regional Presidents, Sales Leadership, and Coaching

Performance and Insight

• Define success metrics for every initiative and own the reporting against them
• Use dashboards and field insight together to refine programs in flight, since neither alone tells you why something is or is not working
• Surface patterns, gaps, and acceleration opportunities to leadership with a recommendation attached, not just a readout
• Prepare executive-ready updates and materials that drive decisions, not just status

Influence

• Act as a strategic thought partner to brand and regional leadership on inventory priorities
• Influence without authority across a highly matrixed, multi-brand organization, and drive alignment and execution anyway

What You Bring

• 5+ years in program management, strategy, operations, GTM, or enablement in a technology-driven environment
• A track record of building and scaling programs that produced measurable behavior change, with the numbers to show it
• Proven mastery of project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid), project tracking tools, and workback schedule execution
• PMP, Agile/Scrum, or equivalent project management certification is a strong plus
• Data-driven mindset, comfortable defining metrics, building the tracking, and changing course when the data says so
• Strong writer and presenter who can turn complex strategy into clear, field-ready materials and executive communications
• Exceptional cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management, especially with senior leaders who do not report to you
• Highly organized, strong attention to detail, and dependable follow-through on long-running initiatives
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, change, and shifting priorities across many concurrent workstreams
• Positive, solutions-oriented, self-starting, and able to execute independently
• Experience in real estate brokerage, SaaS, or multi-brand organizations is a strong plus
• Working knowledge of brokerage operations and the Agent Experience function is a plus
