Head of Brand Partnerships

Overview

We are a hyper-growth tech startup on a mission to revolutionise student rental. We have grown from $0 to $10M ARR in 18 months and recently raised a $10M Series A to fuel growth in the US and Canada college markets. This role is for Housr’s Account Executive – Brands to expand our brand and perk partner ecosystem, bringing local and national businesses onto the platform to enhance the student experience and unlock value for university partners.

This is a revenue-driving role focused on building partnerships with food & beverage, fitness, retail, lifestyle, and service brands that want direct access to the student market. You will own the expansion of Housr’s brand partnerships and perk ecosystem across North America.

• Play a key role in Housr’s North American expansion, building dense, high-quality perk marketplaces in new university cities.
• Mix of outbound prospecting and inbound interest, with new opportunities created as markets launch.
• Greenfield territory — new cities, new brands, new verticals.
• Selling a product that gives brands direct, measurable access to students at the moment they’re choosing where to live.
• Own the partnerships you sign and grow the value of Housr’s platform for students, properties, and universities.

• Own the Brand & Perk Partner Sales Motion - run the full sales cycle from prospecting to close as you bring new brand partners onto the platform.
• Build Perk Marketplaces in New Cities - identify, prospect, and sign local and regional businesses in new university markets to create compelling perk offerings for students.
• Sell Value-Driven Partnerships - position Housr as a powerful customer acquisition and retention channel for brands targeting students in a measurable way.
• Expand the Housr Brand - be the face of Housr to local businesses, build relationships, attend local events, and help brands understand long-term value of the ecosystem.
• Refine Best Practices - help build Housr’s brand partnerships sales playbook from pitch decks to pricing strategy to onboarding workflows.
• Collaboration for the Win - work with marketing, GTM, properties, and customer success teams to ensure partners are launched smoothly and see real value.
• Blast Through Sales Targets - achieve and exceed quotas as you scale the perk marketplace across North America.

This role offers immense career growth potential — perfect for an AE who wants to close deals quickly, own a city or region, and grow into leadership as Housr scales.

• You have experience selling to local businesses, multi-location brands, franchises, or SMB/mid-market partners in the US or Canada.
• You’ve worked at a high-growth startup or fast-moving sales environment before.
• You’re comfortable running a high-velocity, full-cycle sales process, often with founder- or owner-led buyers.
• You are an expert communicator — confident pitching to brand owners, operators, and marketing leaders.
• You are aggressively curious — you quickly understand a business’s goals and tailor partnerships accordingly.
• You are motivated by ownership, impact, and exceeding targets.

• You’re uncomfortable with outbound sales and proactive relationship-building.
• You prefer long, enterprise-style sales cycles only — many deals move fast; one-call closes are common here.
• You want a rigid script and process. At Housr, the best AEs help define the playbook.

Housr is a fast-paced startup and this is a role that can define your career. If building the brand and perks engine for a category-defining company sounds exciting, let’s talk.

• Flexibility & trust - we care about outcomes, not…
