Core Responsibilities

• Owns daily, weekly, and monthly field communications for programs going live or already live, including announcements and weekly status updates.

• Takes the first pass at introducing new programs to the field once they’ve been designed and approved, translating strategy into clear, field-ready messaging.

• Manages active-program follow-ups, keeping field-facing prompts and reminders on schedule.

• Owns weekly and monthly reporting for live programs, running analysis through New Western’s existing AI-artifact workflow and cross-checking data for accuracy.

• Maintains manual market-level statistics tracking for the field behaviors roadmap and Deal Operations, keeping trackers current market-by-market.

• Escalates proactively, flagging markets at risk before they become bigger problems, and recommends solutions.

• Keeps status current and chases open items across approved, nationally rolling-out programs, applying sound judgment on when routine work needs to be escalated.

Required Qualifications

• 0–2 years of experience in project coordination, operations, communications, or a related field (internships and co-ops count).

• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to draft clear, field-facing updates for a broad, non-technical audience.

• Proven ability to manage multiple recurring deadlines (daily, weekly, and monthly) without dropping details.

• Comfortable working in spreadsheets and data trackers, and quick to pick up new tools and reporting workflows.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience — recent graduates are encouraged to apply.

Preferred Qualifications

Why This Role

This is a rare and impactful opportunity for someone early in their career: you’ll get a front-row view of how the nation’s largest homebuyer scales two flagship programs across dozens of markets. You’ll get real ownership and real stakes, from day one, plus you’ll build a foundation in real estate operations, reporting, and cross-functional communication that most people don’t get access to until years into their career. If you want to prove yourself fast inside a company that’s actively reshaping how homes get bought, renovated, and resold across the country, this is the seat.
