About Honey Homes

Honey Homes eliminates the hassle of home upkeep, replacing it with comfort and joy. Our 3,500+ members (homeowners) are each paired with a dedicated handyperson who manages lightweight upgrades, repairs, and maintenance throughout the year. All of our handypeople are full-time employees - hired for their technical expertise, service mindset, and integrity. Because the same professional cares for your home consistently, members experience something rare in home services: reliability, trust, and consistently high-quality care.

Behind the scenes, our AI-powered systems help us operate thoughtfully and efficiently at scale. We’re redefining modern homeownership, and we’re just getting started.

The Opportunity

As our SDR / Events Marketer, your job is to help more homeowners discover Honey Homes and ultimately get more walk‑thrus on the calendar.

A walk‑thru is the first in‑home appointment where a prospective member meets with one of our specialists to review their home, discuss projects and maintenance needs, and learn how Honey Homes works.

This role sits at the intersection of inside sales, field marketing, and community growth. Some days you’ll be responding to inbound leads and booking walk‑thrus over phone, text, and email. Other days you’ll be representing Honey Homes at local events, farmers markets, door knocking campaigns, and community activations across the Bay Area.

You’ll work closely with both Sales and Marketing and will have meaningful influence on messaging, outreach tactics, and local growth experiments as we continue scaling.

This is an ideal role for someone who loves people, thrives in fast‑paced environments, and enjoys turning interest into action.

• Help improve response quality, speed, and messaging across the funnel
• Contribute ideas that increase booked walk‑thrus and lead conversion

2. Expand local awareness through events and field marketing

You’ll help Honey Homes become a more visible and trusted brand in the communities we serve.

Examples:

• Represent Honey Homes at local events, farmers markets, fairs, and community activations
• Help source and coordinate new grassroots marketing opportunities
• Build authentic relationships with homeowners in the field

3. Support growth experimentation and feedback loops

You’ll act as an important bridge between prospective members and internal teams by surfacing insights and helping test new growth ideas.

Examples:

• Share customer objections, feedback, and trends with Sales and Marketing
• Test creative outreach ideas and local acquisition tacticsHelp improve field processes, messaging, and event execution
• Ultimately: do whatever helps generate more qualified walk‑thrus
