Senior Manager, Partner Lifecycle Marketing

Location

This is an in-person role that requires performing all job responsibilities from either the Phoenix, AZ, Seattle, WA, or Miami, FL office locations. Candidates must be based within a 50-mile commuting distance of the office and able to be physically present in the office 4 days a week.

About the Role

Partners and agents represent a strategic growth lever for Opendoor. We're looking for a strategic, execution-oriented Senior Manager to own and scale our Partner Lifecycle marketing programs — shaping how we engage, enable, and retain the real estate professionals who drive a meaningful portion of our transaction volume.

As Senior Manager, Partner Lifecycle Marketing, you'll build and lead the end-to-end CRM strategy for our partner channel — from agent acquisition and onboarding through education, activation, and long-term retention. You'll leverage AI-powered personalization, multi-channel orchestration, and behavioral segmentation to create relevant, high-converting experiences that drive partner engagement and referrals at scale. This role reports to the VP, Acquisition and Lifecycle.

This role requires equal parts strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You'll operate with significant autonomy on a lean, high-performing team with direct exposure to executive leadership. You'll have the resources to test bold ideas and the opportunity to build marketing programs that leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities. If you thrive in environments that reward initiative and impact, and want to work at the intersection of lifecycle marketing and AI — this role is for you!
