OUR STORY AND HOW YOU CAN HELP CONTRIBUTE

Everything But The House (EBTH) is a revolutionary marketplace, making it easier to find or sell secondhand goods, headquartered in Cincinnati, OH. EBTH was born out of a passion for helping people via a full-service approach to consignment; revolutionizing how homeowners, estate managers, dealers and collectors connect with a world of shoppers seeking rare and wonderful things. Each day the global auction platform unleashes an ever-changing assortment of art, jewelry, fashion, collectibles, antiques and more, most with a starting bid of $1.

EBTH aspires to be the first stop for secondhand online. We stand behind our work and offer every customer the “EBTH Promise”. If we don’t uphold our end of the bargain, we’ll do our best to make it right.

We’re seeking a VP, Business Development  to help us lead and source uncommon goods, and sell the products and services that help improve the lives of people around the world. The ideal candidate is a sales leader who excels at translating strategy into measurable team results.  We are looking for an expert in navigating the modern sales lifecycle—someone who possesses a strong understanding of the sales process, and excels at generating leads, building relationships, and closing deals. If you are a results-oriented visionary ready to engineer growth and lead a high-performing team in a dynamic market, we invite you to explore this opportunity. 

As a dynamic company, we move fast and seek to continuously improve – and while this will be a very demanding position, you’ll be surrounded by a passionate team of individuals who are dedicated to the common goal of drastically changing the way personal property is sold, bought and moved across the country – and we have a lot of fun while we’re doing it. We’re proud of our journey and we’re eager to share our story with shoppers, clients and consignors across the world!
