- Direct partnership and mentorship from top-performing Strategic Growth Managers and market leaders.
- A highly collaborative environment where you can actively innovate on processes and outbound strategies.
- Operate with a "glass-half-full" mentality, making a tangible impact on the company's market expansion.
How You’ll Be Measured This role is measured by pipeline generation and the volume of qualified opportunities successfully created for the Strategic Growth Managers.
Location Based in our 891 Beach Street office, this onsite role will have you engaging directly with the local Compass Agent Community and collaborating in person with the Strategic Growth team.
