About Honeycomb Credit

Honeycomb is a venture-backed, loan crowdfunding website that unlocks capital for small businesses from an unconventional and innovative source—their fans, friends, and community. By crowdfunding a small business loan from their customers, entrepreneurs create deeper relationships with their community and investors earn a return while supporting local businesses they love. It’s a true win-win!

Honeycomb has driven over $25 million to more than 300 businesses since its inception. We are growing our sales organization by hiring a new Account Executive at our headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA! The Account Executive will be responsible for educating business owners on the benefits of running a Honeycomb offering, helping them complete an application, and working cross-functionally to help businesses prepare to raise money on Honeycomb.

As the Account Executive you will:

• Work day-in and day-out with inspiring Main Street business entrepreneurs!
• Become an expert on our community capital product, so you can educate business owners on the benefits of raising capital from their customers and community
• Call, text, email and meet virtually with business owners to support them as they gather the necessary documents to complete an application, and keep them updated as their application is reviewed internally
• Nurture and convert small business owners from multiple sources including inbounds, referrals, and leads sourced through cold outreach initiatives (supported by the sales development team)
• Sell leads on the value of a Honeycomb campaign and the method to maximize campaign success
• Build and maintain a book of business by nurturing relationships until their timing or need aligns with Honeycomb offering potential
• Build relationships with referral partners to bring more qualified businesses to the platform
• Close deals and support our customer success team with onboarding small businesses to launch their Honeycomb campaigns

We are looking for candidates who are:

• Highly self-motivated and goal-oriented
• Persistent without being rude or overbearing
• Detail-oriented with a track record of keeping meticulous records in their CRM
• Unafraid to work the phones to get a hold of business owners
• Comfortable working remotely from the comfort of your own workspace, while maintaining close ties with the Honeycomb marketing, operations, and customer success teams
• Buoyant and able to laugh off a tough call with a prospect or customer
• Team players who want to see their colleagues succeed alongside themselves
• Capable of setting meaningful deadlines and holding business owners accountable to our process
• Passionate about serving the small businesses that make our communities shine!

The Account Executive should have 4-6 years of experience in sales or business development working directly with small business clients, and ideally, closing deals. Compensation will include a base salary and commission, commensurate with experience as well as a competitive stock option package in a scaling startup. 

Why Honeycomb?

• Full-time, salaried position with a competitive commission and ramp-up pay
• Comprehensive health insurance with 90% employer contribution
• 401k
• Unlimited PTO
• Competitive equity package in a high-growth startup
• Fun, unique, and exciting co-workers
