As Sr. Manager, Business Communications for Zillow’s agent and broker businesses, you’ll be the single comms point of contact for GMs and product leaders. You’re accountable for the whole picture, rather than handing them off to several channel teams. You’ll own the overall narrative and strategy, set priorities, decide the order when demands compete, and run point as strategic PM across media relations, owned content and events. This is a strategy-and-orchestration role, not a hands-on channel role. You won’t pitch reporters or draft content yourself. You’ll set the direction the channel teams build against and keep the work connected. The agent and broker businesses are technical and high-stakes, and the people you're communicating to are professionals who pay for our products and know this industry as well as you do.

Work across the organization to find and act on new opportunities, showing what a “big idea” looks like and how to bring it to life. Bring agent and broker priorities to the owned content team, and make sure customer proof points and partner stories are ready when a launch or announcement needs them. Develop issue-specific messaging for agent- and broker-facing frontline teams on sensitive or complex topics. Run messaging trainings, and help business leaders train their own orgs when needed. Identify executive visibility opportunities tied to agent and broker priorities, and work with the broader Communications team to carry them out. Serve as the senior comms contact for agent and broker business leaders: a peer to directors and a trusted resource to VPs and GMs. Represent your businesses clearly and persuasively to Corporate Affairs leadership, including the VP and SVP.
