Homeward is a real estate company that offers innovative solutions for home buyers and sellers. They provide services that allow clients to make cash offers on new homes before selling their current homes, thus avoiding the traditional contingency-based offers. Homeward enables a more flexible home-buying experience, supporting both home buyers and real estate agents with tools to secure homes in competitive markets by leveraging cash. The company focuses on providing market value offers for sellers and facilitating quick and smooth transitions to new homes for buyers, without sacrificing potential profits in traditional market sales.

📋 Description

• Report directly to the Senior Director of Financial Operations. • Own a portfolio of Homeward’s inventory, spanning multiple products, regions, and partner relationships, from the point of acquisition approval through final sale. • Hold full P&L ownership of your portfolio, staying close to each property to ensure expenses are tightly managed and profitability targets are met. • Serve as the final decision maker on purchase offers, balancing overall inventory risk while ensuring we acquire homes that support our revenue and sell-through goals. • Develop deep expertise in Homeward’s inventory management playbook and apply it to proactively address at-risk files, tailoring strategy by property and situation. • Adjust listing strategy and execution as needed to improve performance and reduce days on market. • Approve spend on property renovations, repairs, and maintenance in line with ROI expectations. • Ensure all homes meet Homeward’s listing quality standards before going to market. • Make strategic pricing and valuation decisions in partnership with internal teams to balance sell-through risk with profitability. • Drive conversion through smart acquisition strategy aligned with broader business and revenue goals. • Monitor risk across the portfolio and maintain visibility into higher-risk properties, intervening with strategic plans when necessary. • Use financial outcomes and market feedback to continuously assess and inform decision-making. • Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Deal Structuring, Finance, and Operations to ensure seamless execution. • Coach and guide operations partners to improve valuation accuracy, acquisition execution, listing performance, and resolution of escalated decisions. • Ensure Operations teams are executing against tight timelines across all stages of the transaction lifecycle — from property acquisition and make-ready, through listing and going under contract, to final sale.
