ABOUT THE TEAM

The product team at Side includes product management, design, and user research. Together, we strive to delight our customers (real estate professionals who we refer to as Partners) by enabling them to own their own businesses, increase their productivity, and accelerate their growth. In addition, we streamline and automate internal business processes to improve Side’s efficiency and profitability.

Our team is responsible for the end-to-end Side product experience from concept through launch and outcome measurement. We operate using agile methodology, leveraging customer and competitive insights to develop hypotheses and iterate on solutions. We believe that quality, urgency, collaboration, and transparency are critical to the product development process and strive to continually improve in these areas. The team is organized around three product areas: Transaction Platform, Partner Growth, and Internal Business Systems.

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you will lead the product management team responsible for our core Transaction Platform, which is a transaction management system used by real estate agents, transaction coordinators, compliance auditors, payment coordinators, and brokers to handle the full lifecycle of real estate transactions. This is one of the most critical areas of our offering and is used daily by our Partners, their associates, and our Brokerage operations team. You will report directly to the VP of Product and sit on the Product leadership team.
