At Side, we believe everyone should own their path.

Side partners with top-producing real estate professionals to help them own and operate their own boutique real estate companies, without the legal, regulatory, or operational complexity of running a traditional brokerage. As a pioneer in the Brokerage-as-a-Service model, Side provides a proprietary platform that increases efficiency, strengthens client relationships, and enables entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best — selling real estate and growing their businesses.

Headquartered in San Francisco and backed by more than $300 million from top-tier venture capital firms, Side is recognized as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in real estate. At Side, you’ll work alongside experienced industry leaders and world-class engineers to help shape the future of real estate and empower exceptional professionals to thrive as business owners.

The Managing Broker is central to achieving Side's corporate and Brokerage vision, focusing on transaction management, compliance, market growth, and partner engagement. This role requires expertise in servicing top-producing agents and teams, overseeing Brokerage activity in their markets, and ensuring timely, professional, and compliant operations with all regulations. The Managing Broker actively works to enhance current partner experience and proactively engages with the broader real estate community to build Side's reputation and identify potential new partners.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates should be located in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to work from the office at least two days per week.
