Last month Zillow launched “Agent Finder,” a new feature that allows homebuyers to search for real estate agents based on their needs. Home buyers can search by past sales, price point, neighborhood expertise, and other custom filters.
“Having access to this information will help buyers and sellers find the right person to guide them through what is arguably one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions in their lifetimes,” Chief Marketing Officer Amy Bohutinsky said at the time.
Now Zillow is looking for a Senior Program Manager to continue to lead innovation in home search. This role will help improve Zillow’s shopping experiences, focusing on Search and Maps and Personalization. The right candidate will be consumer-obsessed, analytical, and results oriented.
At least three years of program management experience are required. Zillow is prepared to offer a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
