Account Executive

Homepros is an early-stage digital news-media startup covering the multi-billion-dollar HVAC, plumbing, and roofing industries, with a focus on the residential and light commercial segments. We publish business news, analysis, and commentary online and via email newsletters for tens of thousands of contracting business owners, executives, and managers across the U.S.

While the home service industries — both our current verticals and those we plan to expand to, like pest control and garage doors — are massive and durable, they’re also dynamic, facing the impact of technology (including artificial intelligence), government regulation, and consolidation, driving the need for local operators to stay up to speed with efficient, hyper-relevant news coverage.

As part of our company’s expansion — following triple-digit year-over-year growth in both our audience and revenue in 2025 — we’re seeking a scrappy, entrepreneurial Account Executive to be our first dedicated sales hire.

• Prospect for new advertising partners (brands that sell products and services to home service contractors)
• Sell sponsor ships across our newsletters and website against quarterly revenue targets, for both our current verticals and new publications we launch in 2027
• Manage and convert inbound leads
• Own relationships with existing partners, including campaign check-ins and renewals
• Coordinate campaign logistics, including insertion orders and invoicing, collecting creative, and scheduling placements
• Help build our sales playbook from the ground up — packaging, pricing, process, technology
• Take new products to market as we launch them, including branded content and events

• Wants to be a part of and play a key role in growing an early-stage startup
• Thrives in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment and can be flexible with hours
• Is willing to travel regularly to industry events around the country to represent Homepros and engage with potential and existing partners
• Is a self-starter and comfortable with cold outreach and building a pipeline from scratch
• Is organized and detail-oriented, keeping deals and campaigns on track without dropping the ball
• Has at least two years of experience selling advertising/sponsor ships, ideally in B2B media
• Is based in the Charlotte, NC, area (strongly preferred)
• Most importantly, wants to work hard and win

This role is key to our company’s trajectory. You’ll build and own high-value relationships. You’ll work directly with our founder. And as we build out our sales team, you’ll be first in line to help lead it.

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission
• Stock options
• 401(k)
• 21 days of paid, combined time off
