Realtor.com connects millions of home buyers and sellers with agents and professionals. At the center of that connection is a lead, a genuine consumer inquiry that needs to reach the right person, fast. The Lead Delivery team owns that moment.
As Senior Product Manager for Lead Ingestion & Delivery, you will own the end-to-end pipeline that takes a consumer inquiry and transforms it to a verified and delivered contact. You will define the product strategy for lead ingestion, validation, spam prevention, and multi-channel delivery, ensuring every legitimate inquiry arrives reliably, within SLA, and in the format each customer expects.
This role sits at the intersection of consumer trust, revenue impact, and technical infrastructure. You will partner closely with an engineering team building Webhook integrations into a wide range of customer CRMs, drive a consolidation effort to unify lead delivery across multiple legacy services, and build the customer-facing documentation that helps clients get value from day one.
The right candidate brings a strong systems mindset, comfort working deep in technical architecture, and a track record of shipping reliable, scalable infrastructure products.

- Identify and resolve delivery failures, routing gaps, and channel-level performance issues through data-driven prioritization.
Customer Enablement
- Create and maintain customer-facing onboarding documentation, integration guides, and technical references that enable clients to self-serve and go live faster.
- Partner with customer success and sales to translate client delivery preferences and CRM requirements into clear product requirements.
- Define the preferred delivery method framework, ensuring clients can configure and update their delivery preferences with minimal friction.
- Identify and prioritize AI-first methodologies to improve customer onboarding, self-service capabilities, and streamline integration.
