About the role
About Honey Homes Honey Homes eliminates the hassle of home upkeep, replacing it with comfort and joy. Our 3,500+ members are each paired with a dedicated, fully-employed handyman who manages repairs, maintenance, and lightweight upgrades throughout the year. All of our handymen are W-2 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 Local Growth Lead, you will build and scale Honey Homes’ hyperlocal growth engine across every market we serve. This role sits at the intersection of partnerships, field marketing and local brand building. Your job is to develop a scalable local acquisition engine that drives neighborhood density, builds trust within communities, and turns local awareness into measurable member growth. You’ll own Honey Homes' local presence across our markets. This includes partnerships, member-ambassadors, local influencers, community activations, and referral ecosystems. You’ll think deeply about which relationships, events, and neighborhood strategies actually compound over time, and then operationalize those learnings into playbooks. This is a cross-functional role. You’ll work closely with Growth, Ops and Sales to ensure local growth becomes an even more meaningful and measurable acquisition channel. We’re looking for someone who can create structure from tests, roll up their sleeves operationally to learn what works, and iterate on strategy in real-time. The right person for this role is highly resourceful, deeply organized, strong with people, and energized by the challenge of building something from first principles. What Might Make This Role Challenging This is not a role with a fully built playbook, large support team, or mature operating systems already in place. You’ll need to be comfortable navigating ambiguity, prioritizing quickly, and building systems while simultaneously operating inside them. Some local initiatives will perform exceptionally well; others won’t. Success in this role requires strong judgment, high ownership, operational rigor, and the ability to learn quickly through experimentation. This role also requires balancing relationship-building with measurable business outcomes. You’ll be expected to build authentic local partnerships and community trust while maintaining a sharp eye toward conversion, scalability, and ROI. If you’re looking for a highly structured field marketing role with predefined campaigns and clear lanes, this likely won’t be the right fit. If you’re excited by the idea of building a new growth function from the ground up, it probably will be. Outcomes Build Honey Homes' local acquisition engine You’ll develop and execute the strategy for how Honey Homes grows through local trust networks, partnerships, referrals, and community presence. Over time, your work should create a repeatable and increasingly scalable hyperlocal growth engine that can be deployed market-by-market. You will identify which local efforts actually drive walk-thrus and memberships, while increasing neighborhood density within key communities. You’ll also help establish the systems and reporting needed to measure performance across local growth initiatives and improve them over time. Own and scale the event and community activation program You’ll create Honey Homes’ annual local events and field marketing strategy across all markets. This includes identifying the highest-leverage opportunities, developing repeatable playbooks, improving lead capture and follow-up systems, and ensuring events contribute meaningfully to downstream conversion. You’ll think carefully about how Honey Homes should show up within neighborhoods and communities in a way that feels thoughtful, premium, and relationship-driven — not transactional. Build scalable partnership and referral channels You’ll create systems that turn local relationships into meaningful member growth. This includes building partnership pipelines across realtors, designers, trades professionals, schools, HOAs, local businesses, and parent communities, while also helping scale Honey Homes’ ambassador and referral ecosystem. You should naturally think about how referral loops and neighborhood trust compound over time, and how to operationalize those dynamics into scalable acquisition channels for the business. Create the operating system behind local growth Your work should make local growth increasingly measurable, operationalized, and scalable. You’ll partner closely with Ops and Growth to improve tooling, attribution, workflows, reporting, and launch playbooks that support both existing and future markets. Over time, this role should help Honey Homes build a durable competitive advantage through deep local presence, neighborhood density, and community trust.
