Shape the future of real estate in Austin.
ABoR is one of the most innovative REALTOR® associations in the industry, serving one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. We're not a "clock-in, clock-out" place to work: our team members have fun, hustle hard, and are committed to fostering the most engaged and professional REALTORS® in the nation. 
 
The MLS Team at ABoR is looking for a MLS Product Delivery Manager to serve as a senior-level resource responsible for coordinating product releases, driving continuous improvement across MLS services, and providing support for escalated subscriber issues. This role functions as a connective layer between subscriber needs, product performance, and organizational strategy - ensuring that day-to-day support excellence informs long-term product and business decisions. 
 
Essential Duties and Responsibilities: To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform the following satisfactorily; other duties may be assigned. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
 
Product Release and Delivery
  • Own end-to-end release coordination process for all MLS platform updates and feature deployments.
  • Develop and maintain project documentation, including requirement specifications, timelines, risks, and status reports to MLS Director and other project stakeholders.
  • Lead end-user acceptance testing with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Serve as primary internal point of contact during release windows, ensuring support staff is prepared and monitoring post-release stability for rapid response when issues emerge.
  • Draft and distribute subscriber-facing release communications, including release notes in advance of product changes.
  • Serve as primary contact with MLS system vendors to organize and lead assigned technology projects.
  • Lead periodic product briefings, training sessions, or webinars for subscribers and staff to drive adoption of new or updated tools.
Continuous Product Improvement
  • Build and maintain a structured feedback loop – collecting input from tier 1 and 2 support tickets, subscriber surveys, and planned focus groups.
  • Analyze ticket trends, recurring issues, and feature requests to identify improvement and innovation opportunities.
  • Own and maintain internal knowledge base, ensuring documentation reflects current product behavior after each release.
  • Maintain working relationships with product vendors, integration partners, and ancillary tool providers.
  • Research, evaluate, and present emerging technologies and tools — including PropTech, AI-driven solutions, and MLS-adjacent platforms — that could enhance products, member experience, or internal operations.
Escalation Product Support
  • Handle escalated support tickets for complex, recurring, or high-impact product and system issues, ensuring timely resolution and clear subscriber communication throughout.
  • Serve as subject matter expert for RESO web API data feeds and ancillary distribution tools.
  • Cross-train and provide back-up support for other department staff members as assigned.
People Leadership
  • Directly manage, mentor, and develop two direct reports: MLS Product Support Tech (Tier 2) and the MLS Technical Specialist.
  • Set clear performance expectations, conduct regular 1:1s, and deliver formal performance reviews.
  • Manage workload distribution across the team, balancing tier 2 escalations, integration work, and project assignments.
  • Foster a collaborative, accountable team culture aligned with organizational values.
Additional Responsibilities
  • Undertake special projects as assigned.

  • Strong analytical skills – ability to work with ticket data, feedback trends, and operational metrics
  • Experience with project management tools such as Asana, Jira, Monday.com, or equivalent
