Senior Product Manager I

Seattle

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.
At Compass, we believe that everyone deserves to find their place in the world — a place where they feel like they belong, where they can be their authentic selves, where they can thrive.  Our collaborative, energetic culture is grounded in our Compass Entrepreneurship Principles and our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, growth and mobility.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
