Program Administrator, Leads
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.
The CIH Inventory & Leads Program serves as the primary engine for capturing and converting high-intent consumer traffic into real estate transactions. Through strategic partnerships with Redfin.com and Rocket Mortgage, the program delivers a diversified lead pipeline to agents, including high-volume web inquiries and “finance-first” pre-qualified buyers.
As a Program Administrator, Leads, you are responsible for serving as the operational backbone of the CIH Inventory & Leads Program by owning the intake, resolution, and continuous improvement of all field-facing inquiries. You will work closely with Corporate Strategy and cross-functional partners to ensure issues are resolved quickly and accurately while identifying root causes and strengthening the systems that support execution. This is an operations-focused role at the intersection of support, process improvement, and field experience, ensuring inbound inquiries are handled efficiently while transforming recurring issues into structured insights that enhance product, streamline processes, and reduce future demand.
