Account Executive

Account Executive at Catalyst Marketing Location: Austin, TX / Hybrid Base Salary: $70,000–$90,000 | OTE: 2x base, uncapped* Own a $500K Pipeline in a $100B+ Industry Why We're Hiring Catalyst is growing. We're building from ~$5MM in annual revenue toward ~$1MM in new business this year. We already have a strong base in student housing - this role is not about that. We're hiring to win new ground in multifamily, build-to-rent, senior living, and the corporate brands behind them: asset management firms, property management companies, and other real estate-adjacent businesses that need branding, paid media, SEO, and web development at scale. We are hiring only one outside sales rep in a company of 15 people with over 150 active clients. You won't be one of a dozen reps competing over the same territory. You'll be the person driving Catalyst's growth into new verticals, working directly with our President and holding a real seat at the table on how we sell. The Market Opportunity This is a large, well-capitalized, and still-underserved market. Rather than spreading Catalyst's services across every vertical adjacent to real estate, this role is built to concentrate our services where they fit best - corporate multifamily brands and the firms that own and operate them. The U.S. property management services market is valued at roughly $88B in 2026 and projected to reach $106.6B by 2031 - multifamily is one of its largest and fastest-growing segments. The nation's top multifamily property managers alone oversee more than 4.1 million units across nearly 18,800 communities - a customer base large enough to sustain a specialized seller for years. PPC-driven leads convert to leases at 15.44%, the highest rate of any tracked channel, and professional SEO delivers roughly 32% higher rental income than self-managed SEO - proof points that make Catalyst's core services an easy case to sell on ROI. Multifamily supply hit a 40-year record in recent years, and institutional investors continue to treat multifamily as a stable, high-priority asset class - meaning the operators and asset managers behind these portfolios have both the budget and the incentive to invest in marketing that fills units faster. What You Own A $500K pipeline of new business, plus access to a 19-year history of former clients primed for reselling A rate sheet of services with deals ranging from $15K to $25K in monthly recurring revenue across branding, paid media, SEO, and web development The full sales cycle, from the first "hello" to the final signature 3–5 top industry conferences per year, funded by Catalyst, to build your network and pipeline in person Support from a marketing team generating qualified leads, so cold outreach is one tool in your kit, not your entire job Direct email leads from our website contact form (3–5 per week) A comp plan with no cap and OTE of 2x base salary* What Success Looks Like Build and maintain a $500K pipeline throughout the year, keeping warm leads moving and converting a meaningful share into Catalyst's $1MM new-business target Run a consultative, credible sales process with decision-makers at multifamily operators, asset management firms, and real estate-adjacent corporate brands Represent Catalyst at industry conferences, building relationships that turn into pipeline Partner directly with the President to shape territory strategy, pricing conversations, and go-to-market priorities as the comp plan and playbook evolve Why You Succeed 2+ years of consultative, services-based sales experience, ideally in marketing, advertising, PropTech, or real estate services You're a closer.
