Director, Strategic Real Estate Initiatives

Notarize is the pioneer and market leader in Remote Online Notarization (RON), and we’re building the team that will operate a critical platform in tomorrow’s fully-remote economy. Come join us!

Notarize is proud to be a fully-distributed, remote-first team. Employees can work from anywhere in the United States — all 50 states and D.C too.

In this newly-created role, you’ll be responsible for collaborating with stakeholders to develop processes that ensure appropriate prioritization and approvals for strategic initiatives. You’ll work with cross-functional team leadership and project managers to ensure projects are being managed across consistent frameworks, timelines, and budgets.

What you’ll do as the Director, Strategic Real Estate Initiatives, at Notarize:

• Lead all Real Estate team work streams including cross-functional initiatives and projects
• Determine workstream lifecycle (i.e. deciding the workstream focus, prioritization, and who is responsible for what)
• Apply a data-driven approach to measuring the effectiveness of programs, establishing key metrics and continuously iterating to improve results
• Ensure appropriate prioritization and approvals for strategic initiatives
• Develop a deep understanding of strategic business direction, requirements and priorities across the organization.
• Collaborate with internal teams, external teams, and management to ensure requirements are being met and projects are kept on schedule.
• Provide day-to-day leadership by offering ideas or solutions to help the team resolve issues and being held responsible for escalating matters as needed
• Help lead our ongoing strategic planning process – driving an agile loop between market insight, customer insight, and operational execution.
• Act as a flexible resource who can quickly bring structure to high priority business opportunities that fall outside the day-to-day scope of existing teams.

What we’re looking for:

• 6+ years of relevant experience within mortgage finance, real estate services, or related fields
• Aptitude for partnering effectively and building strong relationships with credibility and trust, with team members and internal and external stakeholders
• Proven record of successful supervisory experience, able to establish and nurture relationships with individuals of varying backgrounds
• Experience evaluating success through metrics/adoption and development of continuous improvement plans
• Excellent communication and presentations skills; comfortable interacting with senior management to provide updates and insight into best practices for ongoing priorities
• Pragmatic mindset to figure out how to accomplish things quickly and efficiently
• Ability to thrive in an fast-moving and fast-changing environment
• Prior experience with managing and developing a remote team preferred

Some of our benefits:

• Competitive salaries & equity
• Heavily subsidized medical, dental, and vision
• 401k with 4% match
• Unlimited PTO & flexible work schedules
• Fully-distributed team: work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Paid parental leave
