This is a foundational sales role on a team that's actively building and refining its systems, so we're looking for someone who thrives with real ownership over their pipeline and is energized by helping shape how the team sells, not just executing a fixed playbook.

Description
What You'll Do
- Own a book of business across the Homestead Living network. Prospecting, pitching, closing, and growing advertiser relationships from first outreach through renewal.
