Restb.ai is seeking a VP of Industry Relations to be our senior voice in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and enterprise brokerage community. Reporting to the President of the MLS Division, you will be the executive face of Restb.ai to MLS leadership and large brokerages — building trust, moving strategic deals across the finish line, and representing the company on the industry’s most visible stages.

Equally important, you can tell the story of where the industry - and Restb.ai - is heading, including the next generation of AI-native capabilities now under development. You are as comfortable closing an enterprise agreement as you are keynoting a panel or briefing a board on what agentic AI means for their business.
