Intelligence Operations Manager Jobs in Phoenix, AZ

Company: Real Estate Investment / Wholesale Company 

Location: Phoenix, AZ — East Valley (hybrid, in-office and remote flexibility) 

Reporting To: CEO 

Status: Full-time 

Compensation: $50,000 annual base salary | OTE $73,000 – $111,000+ (performance-based revenue share) 

Start Date: ASAP 

Applications Accepted: Until filled

If you're looking for a job where you show up, manage a checklist, and collect a paycheck, THIS IS NOT IT.

We are a fast-growing real estate wholesale and investment company operating across multiple markets in Arizona and Nationwide. Since 2016, we've built a lean, high-output operation that connects distressed homeowners with real solutions: cash offers, novation transactions, and creative deals that create value on both sides. We close deals every month, and we're scaling fast.
We're not slowing down; we're building the infrastructure to go further.

This role exists because the business has outgrown one person at the top. Our systems, processes, and team coordination need to be owned by a high-level operator who can take the wheel and run — someone who can translate the CEO's vision into daily execution, build the structure that lets the business scale, and eventually get the owner completely out of the day-to-day.

That's what we're hiring for. Not a task manager. Not a coordinator. A Director of Operations who takes full ownership of the business and drives it forward.

We don't throw you in the deep end on day one. The first 60 days are structured to set you up for success.

Days 1–30 — Learn the business. You'll shadow every role: acquisitions, disposition, transaction coordination, and marketing. You'll get inside RESimpli, understand the pipeline, meet the team, and learn how deals move from lead to close. No pressure to perform yet. Just absorb
Days 31–60 — Take the wheel. You start running daily operations independently. You're leading the L10 meetings, managing team KPIs, and handling escalations. The CEO steps back. This is your proving ground.
Day 61 — Full accountability. Performance-based revenue share activates. You own the outcomes. Your decisions drive the numbers, and your income reflects it.

Throughout the ramp, you're paid your full base salary. We invest in getting you up to speed because we're building for the long term, not looking for someone to hit the ground sprinting and burn out in six months.

Why join us:

• Direct access to the Owner. No layers of management. No corporate bureaucracy. You work directly with the owner. Your ideas get heard and acted on fast.

• Your pay scales with the business. Base salary starts at $50,000. Performance-based revenue share kicks in after your onboarding period, with OTE ranging from $73,000 to $111,000+ depending on what you build. When the business grows, your income grows with it.

• Real ownership mentality. We don't want a manager. We want someone who treats this like it's theirs because, in many ways, it will be.

• Flexibility built on trust. This role rewards ownership over presence. If the team is taken care of, deals are moving, and nothing is on fire, you have flexibility. If something needs you, you show up.

Tools we use:
RESimpli · Slack · Google Workspace · Google Ads · OpenClaw · Claude · Trello
SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE LOOKS LIKE

• The CEO is no longer involved in day-to-day operations

• The team knows what to do and is held accountable

• Deals move smoothly from lead to close

• Systems are documented and followed consistently

Base salary: $50,000/year. OTE $73,000–$111,000+ includes performance-based revenue share, activating after a 60-day onboarding period. Full compensation details provided during the interview process.
