Overview

The Director of Owner Experience owns the end-to-end ownership journey across the Pacaso portfolio — ensuring every owner interaction reflects a seamless, responsive, and premium experience.

This leader oersees a two-tier organization of Owner Experience Managers (regional lifecycle and retention leaders) and Owner Experience Agents (24/7 support and issue resolution). The Director is accountable for experience strategy, retention performance, resale governance, and cross-functional alignment.

This is a luxury experience, retention, and operations leadership role — not a call center position.
