Employing Broker

Title: Employing Broker

About Oak & Key Estate Sales

Oak & Key Estate Sales is a high-growth startup building a modern, scalable platform in the estate sales industry. We are looking for an experienced Employing Broker to join our leadership team and play a key role in building the brokerage infrastructure, team, and processes that will support our national growth.

This is not a traditional broker-of-record position. The right person will have the opportunity to help build the brokerage operation from the ground up, establish best practices, develop talent, and play a meaningful role in shaping the company's future.

The Opportunity

As an Employing Broker, you will provide leadership and oversight across our brokerage operations, with primary responsibility for compliance, licensing, people, and operational standards across our growing national footprint.

What makes this opportunity particularly unique is the combination of startup-level growth opportunity and an established lead-generation engine. Oak & Key has access to a lead source generating approximately 3,000 leads annually nationwide, creating a significant pipeline of potential business for the organization and its brokerage professionals.

We are looking for someone who wants to do more than maintain an existing brokerage. This person will help build the systems, team, and processes necessary to turn a substantial lead pipeline into a scalable national business.

• Work with leadership to create systems for lead follow-up, conversion, tracking, and accountability.

Why Oak & Key?

This is an opportunity to join a startup with significant growth potential, where you can have a direct impact on the company's direction and success.

Unlike many brokerage leadership positions, you'll have the opportunity to help build the operation while having access to a substantial lead-generation pipeline.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something—not simply manage something that already exists.
