Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree with 2+ years of relevant experience with history of strong performance (SDR, Customer Success/Service, Direct Sales)
- Strong interpersonal and rapport-building skills, glass-half-full mentality, natural leader
- Self-starter attitude and ability to exercise judgment and solve difficult problems without direct supervision, comfortable with ambiguity
- Excellent communication skills; ability to effectively lead client meetings and presentations
- Highly organized; ability to handle multiple deadlines simultaneously
- Track record of excellence across strategic, operational, and detail-demanding functional responsibilities
What the job involves
- Our Strategic Growth team is the face of the company and the engine of our market expansion. As a Strategic Growth Associate (akin to a Sales Development Representative) at Compass International Holdings, you are directly responsible for driving net-new pipeline across our company -owned brokerages for our Strategic Growth Team
- We are looking for high-energy, driven professionals with sound business acumen, strong EQ, and natural sales instincts to join our Sales Development organization as Strategic Growth Associate. You will gain experience interacting with real estate agents across multiple geographies and understanding their business challenges. You should be eager to advance your skills and experience through a clearly defined learning path. Compass offers a fast-paced, innovative environment where you will be provided the tools, resources and leadership to succeed and take your career to the next level
- The role is similar to an SDR role due to deal size, complexity of conversation, objection handling and cross-functional quarterbacking
- You’ll generate new business opportunities to build our sales pipeline through both inbound and outbound efforts
- Outreach directly into prospective agents that fit our ideal persona via cold-calls, text, emails, integrated marketing campaigns, LinkedIn campaigns and other methods
- Articulate our value prop and objection handle to create qualified opportunities in your market
- You will work closely with the Strategic Growth Managers and Team Leaders to develop successful prospecting strategies
- Document all activities within our CRM, maintaining flawless data management
- Drive active engagement with new and existing leads through creative follow-up communications
- Collaborate cross-functionally to create new processes and refine existing processes through innovative thinking
- Analyze addressable market in nascent geographies and create demand for disruptive technology
- Become a critical part of the high performing team, adding value to each SGM’s sales process
- Engage in a highly consultative, human sales process requiring high IQ and EQ
- Build trusted relationships with high-performing professionals
- Based in our Chicago office, this onsite, market-facing role will have you engaging clients in the field while collaborating in person with local teams and agents
Our take
Compass uses an AI-driven platform to smooth out and speed up the process of buying, selling, or renting property. It functions much like a traditional broker, but employs tech to reduce the time, uncertainty, cost and friction of transactions for buyers, sellers and agents.
It's disrupting a sector so far largely averse to tech innovation, allowing users to close deals in less time than the industry average of 30-45 days. Compass is now the largest independent real estate brokerage in the USA, with over 29,000 agents nationwide.
In 2025, Compass acquired Anywhere Real Estate in a major leap that cements its place among the biggest players in US property. By uniting leading brokerage brands and expanding its agent network on a massive scale, Compass strengthens both its reach and its tech-driven platform. This adds new revenue opportunities, positioning the company to help shape the future of real estate.
