Recognized by Forbes as a Best Startup Employer and by BuiltIn Seattle as a Best Place to Work.
Director, Strategic Initiatives & Partner Ecosystem - Seattle, WA - paid relocation available, or remote PST
We''re hiring a Director, Strategic Initiatives & Partner Ecosystem to own two things that feed each other: how partner integrations get delivered, and the CEO-sponsored strategic initiatives that expand RentSpree''s place in the rental technology ecosystem.
When a new MLS, brokerage, or platform partner signs, you own the launch from signed agreement to go-live, and you''re the partner''s single point of accountability the whole way. As you run launches, you build the system that scales past you (runbooks, playbooks, AI-driven workflows, and trained teammates) so that over time the launches run without you.
The leverage you create goes to strategic initiatives. Reporting directly to the CEO, you''ll take on the company''s most ambiguous, highest-impact opportunities, from ecosystem partnerships to syndication and distribution strategy to cross-functional projects spanning Product, GTM, Engineering, and Operations, and carry them from concept to measurable outcome.
You''ll thrive here if you create clarity where others see complexity; if you measure your success by the team''s speed rather than your own indispensability; and if you want a role where you''ll be challenged to conceive and execute solutions cross-functionally for the company''s most compelling initiatives.
