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.

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to fully own the Commission Plans & Contracts Platform, the systems and services that power contract and commission workflows and enable partner product teams, brokerage, and operations to execute reliably across markets. This role is ideal for a PM ready to own a product end-to-end with minimal guidance, set a 12-month roadmap, drive squad-level goals, and shape a 12–18 month vision in partnership with their manager. You will navigate technical and business complexity, make sound calls on architectural and business trade-offs (including the occasional one-way door), and align stakeholders across Product & Engineering, brokerage, and operations.

A successful candidate is an autonomous operator with strong product judgment who can take ambiguous problem spaces and turn them into clear, well-scoped, sequenced plans. You'll support both staff-facing and agent-facing workflows, with decisions on this platform having far-reaching impact across our broader systems and the experience of the agents and clients who depend on them. You bring structure to complexity, consistently making sound decisions on well-defined problems while driving clarity and alignment in more ambiguous or high-stakes situations. You collaborate across engineering, accounting, brokerage, and operations to turn cross-functional problems into durable solutions. Your work enables teams to operate efficiently and with confidence, with a strong emphasis on accuracy and trust in the data and logic powering critical workflows.

Responsibilities:

  • Fully own the Commission Plans & Contracts Platform with minimal guidance, setting direction across discovery, definition, delivery, and iteration.
  • Define and own a 12-month roadmap for your squad, translating organizational goals into squad-level goals and gaining alignment with your manager.
  • Partner with your manager to define a 12–18 month product vision and own the near-term strategy that gets the squad there.
  • Drive squad-level goals end-to-end, making good scope/time/quality trade-off recommendations and gaining alignment when deadlines need to shift.
  • Author PRDs for 6–12 month efforts on a single team, covering business rules, edge cases, success metrics, rollout plans, and clear sequencing.
  • Autonomously gather and synthesize inputs across LFR, user interviews, surveys, product support meetings, ad-hoc escalations, the feedback forum, key staff stakeholders, and quantitative analysis to inform product decisions.
  • Coordinate across other P&E groups as well as brokerage and operations stakeholders to align on dependencies, sequencing, and launch readiness.
  • Contribute meaningfully to UX thinking, offering input and feedback that shapes the design direction alongside your design partners.
  • Solve medium-complexity problems to unblock the team and accelerate customer impact.
  • Communicate proactively with all P&E stakeholders — and, with your manager's support, with business stakeholders — on status, risks, decisions, and trade-offs.
  • Improve how your squad operates by identifying and driving process improvements that make the team more efficient.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of product management experience (or equivalent) building and launching software products, including time spent fully owning a product area.
  • Track record of autonomously executing in areas with some ambiguity, medium technical and business complexity, and medium platform risk (including a few one-way doors).
  • Experience setting 12-month roadmaps, owning near-term strategy, and contributing to longer-term product vision.
  • Strong PRD craft, with clear business rules, edge cases, metrics, and rollout plans.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive squad-level goals and make good scope/time/quality trade-offs under real-world delivery pressure.
  • Comfort synthesizing qualitative and quantitative inputs autonomously to inform decisions.
  • Experience aligning stakeholders across Product & Engineering and adjacent business functions (e.g., operations, brokerage, GTM).
  • Consistently sound product judgment on tactical decisions and the maturity to know when to bring controversial or ambiguous calls to your manager.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; reliable, proactive, and high follow-through.

Compensation: The salary pay range for this position is $137,400 - $152,700; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Bonuses and restricted stock units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of benefits. Base pay is based on market location. Minimum wage for the position will always be met.

Perks that You Need to Know About:

Participation in our incentive programs (which may include eligible cash, equity, or commissions). Plus paid vacation, holidays, sick time, parental leave, and recharge leave; medical, tele-health, dental and vision benefits; 401(k) plan; flexible spending accounts (FSAs); commuter program; life and disability insurance; Maven (a support system for new parents); Carrot (fertility benefits); UrbanSitter (caregiver referral network); Employee Assistance Program; and pet insurance.

 
Do your best work, be your authentic self.
