We are looking for candidates who are looking to make their mark in the sales industry and join us in the fast-paced world of Silicon Valley Startups! If you’re a recent graduate or just want your foot in the door at Houzz, read on.
The role of our Sales team is to help those professionals to build their brand on our platform with the Houzz Pro+ local marketing solutions.
With extensive training from our Sales Manager and continuous support from the Sales Team, you’ll soon know exactly how to coach Professionals and help them understand the value of signing up with Houzz Pro+  and how these benefits will boost their exposure, increase their customer base and become more profitable for their businesses.
What’s it like to work in Sales at Houzz?
  • You’ll own the whole sales process by focussing on new business; from qualifying potential prospects, demonstrating the value of Houzz Pro+ (our subscription based advertising program) to signing professionals up. This is primarily over the phone and via web demos.
  • Your client base will largely consist of small and medium sized businesses (think Architects, Interior Designers, Builders, etc), based in the ANZ. Each professional you’ve on-boarded will be taken care of by our Account Management team.
  • Working with a close knit and well established international sales team, you will be provided with design, architecture & construction leads to help you smash your targets. These will range from highly engaged professionals with a built out presence on Houzz to new sign ups with little knowledge of the platform and all it has to offer. You will receive full support as well as continuous coaching to keep you up to date with the best industry practices and to develop as a sales professional.
  • What do you need to be successful?
  • A passion for sales -you get a buzz from closing a deal, and building new relationships to hit your targets!
  • Impeccable verbal and written communication skills - not only will you convince your grandpa to buy a smartphone but you’ll also teach him how to get the best out of it!
  • You are fearless! We get that working in Sales can sometimes be challenging but it can also extremely satisfying when you do close the sale! We are looking for people with drive, tenacity and resilience - you’re comfortable with making 50+ calls a day, including discovery calls and demonstrations, all the while staying positive throughout even if every single one isn’t a success!
  • Willingness to enter the tech startup scene. We’ll need you to be adaptable because we’re a start up after all so our Company may be evolving and changing. We’ll need you to be flexible and be willing to keep evolving with us as our company grows.
  • A hunger to learn - you enjoy being coached, and constantly seek improvement and ways to develop yourself.
  • What’s ideal (but aren’t deal breakers):
  • Previous outbound sales, sales development, pre-sales and/or inside sales experience is a plus.
  • A familiarity with CRM tools (such as Salesforce) is a plus.
  • What’s in it for you?
  • Opportunity for growth – We look from within to fill our leadership roles, and there are clear pathways within the Sales team for career growth.
  • Comprehensive training to help you up-skill in your sales career-  From Day 1, you’ll be given mentorship and consistent training directly with our ANZ Sales manager and Team Leads.
  • Compensation for the Junior Sales Account Executive is a mixture of competitive base salary and the chance to earn high uncapped commissions.
  • Bonus perks include: extra days of Annual Leave (Birthdays and Work Anniversaries), Employee Assistance Program, Health & Wellness activities, Social Club activities, a fully-stocked kitchen, Breakfast & Lunches catered on Mondays and Fridays.
  • A pretty cool and dog-friendly office that's close to Central Station and public transport.
  • What we’re all about:
  • We're a family: We are team players, and collaborate to get things done. We are humble. We take care of each other and share our lives at work. We love to celebrate birthdays and team accomplishments so we’re basically always eating cake or unwinding on the balcony with celebratory drinks and cheese. Don’t believe us?

  • We build the future: We are creative, innovative and fearless about trying new things. We embrace different ideas and are visionaries.
  • We make things happen: We are a company of problem-solvers and self-starters. We move fast, remain flexible and get results.
