Account Executive - Chicago

Branch Account Executive Opportunity

Branch is shaking up the $46B office products industry to create the best work experience for the 21st century: easy, affordable and adaptable so you can sit down (or stand) and get to work. Most people spend eight hours a day at their workspace. Our mission is creating accessible and inspiring products to help people and teams feel their best at work, wherever that happens.

We're based in NYC and Toronto, and backed by the investors behind Quip, Caraway, Eight Sleep and Peloton. Our culture combines strategic clarity with scrappy execution; we think and plan rigorously but ship fast and have fun doing it. We're looking for entrepreneurial teammates who do the same.

We're hiring an Account Executive to drive revenue growth in Chicago (and the Midwest more broadly) by building durable relationships with tenants, commercial real estate brokers, landlords, and office designers. This is a new and strategically critical role at Branch: you'll be our in-market lead, responsible for turning trusted local networks into a repeatable referral engine.

This is a true full-cycle position. You will personally source opportunities through Chicago's CRE ecosystem and own deals end-to-end, from first conversation through close and handoff.

Most of your pipeline will come from proactive, in-person relationship building with brokers, landlords, and design partners. You'll also close high-intent inbound opportunities from tenants and trade professionals in your region.

As the face of Branch in Chicago, you'll establish credibility in the market, leverage social proof to unlock new portfolios, and land high-potential tenant and landlord accounts that can generate years of repeat business. You'll also work closely with our Operations and Supply Chain teams to ensure large, complex projects are executed seamlessly—driving long-term customer value and expansion.

The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, knows how to open doors with a cold email, a warm handshake, or a great breakfast roundtable, and is energized by spending time in the field. You enjoy building momentum from scratch and take pride in owning outcomes, not just activity. You are not afraid to get into the weeds and get your hands dirty.

This role is salaried with a compensation range of $180,000-$200,000 USD based on the candidate's experience, skills, competencies, and qualifications. As a full-time employee, you'll be eligible to participate in Branch's benefits program, which includes health and dental coverage to help with medical and dental care costs for you and your family, unlimited PTO, a 401(k) to support your retirement savings, a Branch product allowance, and an employee discount on Branch product.
