Portfolio Manager
About The Role
The Portfolio Management team plays a core role in our proprietary pricing engine. The team is responsible for executing on and collaborating in the development of our resale strategy across a multi-billion dollar portfolio to support achieving our financial goals, while appropriately managing risk. The Portfolio Manager plays a critical role in optimizing the company's multi-billion dollar inventory by executing resale strategies and managing P&L at the asset level.
What You'll Do
- Your role is to generate alpha or edge as compared with the market, clearing faster than the market at the same or better valuation.
- You own the P&L of your book of inventory, making decisions at the asset level from listing to resale close including what price to list a home at; when to drop the price, hold or pull non-price levers; and whether to accept a resale offer.
- You do this by:
- Interpreting diverse signals, including demand metrics, buyer feedback and market events to develop and refine your strategy at the portfolio & asset level
- Understanding the market nuances of the book you operate, responding to dynamic market conditions driven by seasonality, micro and macro trends
- Judging when to accept or override model-driven recommendations based on a nuanced understanding of the strengths & weaknesses of our pricing algorithms
- Prioritizing your time across your book to ensure you’re making the right decisions, on the right assets, at the right time
- Managing risk by using analytics to identify underperforming cohorts & understand how to course-correct them
- You are obsessive about the details. In housing, every home is a unique SKU and a real home that people will live in. Getting into the weeds at the asset level should excite you.
- Providing feedback that drives improvement in our pricing models & algorithms, as well as the tooling that supports PMs core workflows
What You'll Need
- At least 3 years of experience in making difficult pricing decisions as either a Pricing Analyst, Options Trader, Single Family Rental manager (REIT), Mortgage Credit Risk Manager, Pricing Strategist, or Real Estate Asset Manager. Real estate experience is not required.
- Expertise in the markets in which you operate.
- Proven ability to review large amounts of data to guide effective and impactful decision-making, demonstrating strong judgment in uncertain situations
- Experience with Excel, dashboards and AI tools (e.g., Co-work) for data analysis
- Coachability - Willingness to be trained in Opendoor Pricing products and tools
- Ability to prioritize workload and complete tasks within deadlines
- Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
- Excellent collaboration skills with team members and portfolio stakeholders (for example, our Opendoor Listing Partners & operations teams, engineers and researchers)
