## Job description

Essential Function The Strategic Projects Specialist is the operational backbone for New Western’s highest-priority, transformational initiatives as both scale from pilot into full national rollout. You’ll own field communications, reporting, and tracker upkeep across every market these programs touch, turning fast-moving data into clear, actionable updates for the field.

Core Responsibilities

- Owns daily, weekly, and monthly field communications for programs going live or already live, including announcements and weekly status updates.

- Takes the first pass at introducing new programs to the field once they’ve been designed and approved, translating strategy into clear, field-ready messaging.

- Manages active-program follow-ups, keeping field-facing prompts and reminders on schedule.

- Owns weekly and monthly reporting for live programs, running analysis through New Western’s existing AI-artifact workflow and cross-checking data for accuracy.

- Maintains manual market-level statistics tracking for the field behaviors roadmap and Deal Operations, keeping trackers current market-by-market.

- Escalates proactively, flagging markets at risk before they become bigger problems, and recommends solutions.

- Keeps status current and chases open items across approved, nationally rolling-out programs, applying sound judgment on when routine work needs to be escalated.

Required Qualifications

- 0–2 years of experience in project coordination, operations, communications, or a related field (internships and co-ops count).

- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to draft clear, field-facing updates for a broad, non-technical audience.

- Proven ability to manage multiple recurring deadlines (daily, weekly, and monthly) without dropping details.

- Comfortable working in spreadsheets and data trackers, and quick to pick up new tools and reporting workflows.

- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience — recent graduates are encouraged to apply.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Exposure to real estate, real estate investing, or a real estate-adjacent industry.

- Internship, co-op, or coursework in project management, business operations, or consulting.

- Experience with data analysis or reporting tools (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, or BI dashboards).

- Experience communicating with a distributed or field-based team.

- A track record that shows grit and follow-through under a fast-moving workload, such as competitive athletics, leadership in campus organizations, or an entrepreneurial venture.

## Why This Role

This is a rare and impactful opportunity for someone early in their career: you’ll get a front-row view of how the nation’s largest homebuyer scales two flagship programs across dozens of markets. You’ll get real ownership and real stakes, from day one, plus you’ll build a foundation in real estate operations, reporting, and cross-functional communication that most people don’t get access to until years into their career. If you want to prove yourself fast inside a company that’s actively reshaping how homes get bought, renovated, and resold across the country, this is the seat.
