The Mission

Hearth was launched six years ago to solve one problem: over 50% of home improvement small business owners go out of business within their first five years.

To us, the home improvement contractor is a true embodiment of the American Dream – skilled craftspeople who choose to start their own business to build a better life for their families and their communities.

While home improvement pros power a $500 billion per year industry and protect the homes of millions of Americans, they are looked down upon by Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and are one of the most underserved, undercapitalized, and written-off segments of entrepreneurs.

We built Hearth to tip the odds of success in their favor. Hearth is a seamless digital toolkit that helps home improvement pros win more projects, grow their sales, and save time running their business. In the last six years, we’ve built an industry-leading technology platform (Financing, Payments, Quotes, Contracts, and Banking), work with over 15,000 contractors, and have funded over $500 million in additional projects for home improvement pros. And, we are just getting started.

The Opportunity

Hearth revenue teams are ready to enter an inflection point of growth. To do so, we are expanding our customer acquisition systems and to support this growth we are looking for strong leadership. Your mission will be to lead a team of sales professionals to tell Hearth’s story, represent the company as our front-lines, and start conversations with ideal customers at scale.

You will be supported by a world-class Learning & Development leader (formerly at ZipRecruiter) and SVP of Sales (Shift, LivingSocial, Auction.com, Velocify, SportsEngine, etc.) as well as mature Customer Success, Marketing, and Product teams. As a fast-growing Series B fintech SaaS startup, Hearth is well-capitalized by some of the strongest venture capital firms and investors in America
