Leadership & Governance Specialist

About Us

Our mission at the Bay East Association of REALTORS® is to advance members’ success as real estate professionals. We are passionate about delighting our members through memorable experiences and strong community engagement.

If you’re someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and flawless execution, this role is for you.

We’re looking for a highly capable, organized, and proactive professional to support executive leadership and volunteer governance at a dynamic, member-driven organization.

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will work closely with senior leaders and Directors to coordinate elections, strategic planning, board operations, and high-level leadership events. You’ll be trusted to manage complex logistics, anticipate needs, and represent the organization with professionalism and confidence.

If you enjoy being the person who keeps big initiatives moving and leaders prepared, you’ll love this role.

• Assist in managing the annual Strategic Planning process.


• Support leadership selection and onboarding processes.

Leadership Engagement & Events

• Help plan and execute key leadership events including the annual Inaugural, Board Summit, and Volunteer Training.


• Coordinate travel and logistics for Directors attending state and national meetings.


• Serve as a primary liaison for volunteer leaders, ensuring they feel informed and supported.

Who You Are

• Exceptionally organized and detail-driven.


• A proactive problem-solver who anticipates needs.


• Comfortable working with executives and community leaders.


• Strong communicator — clear, polished, and confident.


• Able to manage multiple priorities without losing momentum.


• Experienced in project management, operations, event planning, executive support, or governance support.

This role requires you to be in the office four days per week. After training is complete, there may be flexibility to transition to three days per week based on performance and business needs.
