• Keep the community active through regular communication, sales motivation, product updates and engagement.

• Join realtor/client calls where necessary to support sales.
• Identify inactive or high-potential members and proactively re-engage them.
• Organise and anchor at least one community event every month.
• Identify and secure at least two B2B collaborations monthly that can create access to quality realtors, buyers or business opportunities.
• Coordinate realtor trainings, meetings, property inspections and networking activities.
• Work closely with Sales, Media, Accounting, Tech and other departments to resolve partner concerns and improve the sales experience.
• Collate commission requests and follow up with relevant departments.
• Track community growth, active partners, trainings, events, sales and partner performance.
• Celebrate partner wins, milestones and achievements to strengthen retention and engagement.
• Prepare weekly and quarterly community reports.
• Continuously develop strategies to attract experienced realtors who can sell high-value properties.

Requirements

• 2 – 4 years of experience in community management, real estate sales, business development, relationship management, customer success or a related field.
• Strong networking and relationship-building skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong sales and business development ability.
• Comfortable speaking with and approaching established professionals.
• Strong follow-up and organisational skills.
• Ability to host events, trainings and networking sessions.
