About the role
We’re seeking a highly skilled Program Manager (P3) with a strong emphasis in Sales and Business Operations. This role will play a pivotal part in advancing the success of Zillow Home Loans’ partner engagement operations through programmatic ownership of key operational initiatives, strategic planning, and data-driven decision-making.
The ideal candidate is hyper-organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple initiatives simultaneously. You connect dots across programs, anticipate future needs, and bring structure and clarity to a rapidly evolving business. You act as an owner—not only in your projects, but also in how you consult, influence, and drive accountability across cross-functional teams.

Manage multiple projects simultaneously with structured prioritization, clear milestones, and proactive risk management.
Act as a central point of accountability, ensuring initiatives are delivered with precision, transparency, and measurable outcomes.
Sales Operations & Process Design
Develop and refine scalable sales operations frameworks to improve efficiency, accuracy, and accountability.
Partner with Product and Analytics teams to define requirements, influence tooling, and ensure alignment with business objectives.
Maintain strong data hygiene practices and reporting accuracy to support decision-making and forecasting.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence

You thrive in ambiguity and bring clarity and structure where there is none.
You’re a proactive problem solver who can manage competing priorities and communicate effectively with cross-functional partners.
You’re collaborative and confident, with a natural ability to lead without authority and influence outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
5–7 years in program management, sales operations, or business operations within Sales/GTM or partner-facing environments.
Proven ability to own and execute complex, cross-functional initiatives with measurable business impact.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable connecting insights across multiple data sources.
