Real Estate Director of Operations

Ask yourself:

• On a scale of 1 to 10, is your work ethic a 10 and grounded in healthy boundaries and respect for people?
• Do you have true grit and tenacity, and believe that we can create better systems for clients and communities—not just bigger numbers?
• Do you solve problems creatively while maintaining high standards and attention to detail?
• Do you relate well to people from many different backgrounds and think on your feet, especially in stressful moments?

We’re hiring a Director of Operations (DOO) who gets things done with excellence, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and cares deeply about people, community, and impact—not just production. This role is central to making a thriving, values-driven real estate business even better.

Sonder Northwest is a high-achieving, community-minded real estate team serving Portland and SW Washington. We’re focused on:

• Dignity and inclusion: Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected in the process of buying or selling a home.
• Service and education: We slow down to explain, advocate, and empower clients to make confident decisions.
• Impact beyond the closing table: Our work is tied to community partnerships—supporting local nonprofits that are meeting a need in our community.
• Collaboration and growth: We operate with integrity, curiosity, and a deep commitment to helping our people build sustainable businesses and meaningful lives.

Who are we looking for?

You are a systems-minded, heart-forward leader who creates efficiency through organization and innovation, and you care as much about how we do things as what we achieve.

• You’re passionate about operational excellence, but you’re equally committed to equity and a client-first experience.
• You’re energized by building and managing processes that empower agents to focus on relationships and production, while you run the systems that make it all possible.
• You’re comfortable holding a high standard, having clear and kind conversations, and making sure our operations reflect our values in every detail.

The Director of Operations is a key leader within the team, ensuring that all administrative, operational, and financial functions run smoothly and effectively. You’ll work closely with leadership to support agent productivity, client experience, community impact, and company growth.
