HomeAdvisor and our sister company, Angie’s List, have combined to create the largest home services marketplace in the nation. Part of ANGI Homeservices (ANGI), we connect millions of homeowners across the globe with home service professionals through our innovative and user-friendly products. ANGI Homeservices operates 10 brands in eight countries, and is headquartered in Denver, CO. We are currently seeking an experienced Category Manager to join our B2B Business Development team.

The Job: We are looking for a Business Development Category Manager who has a passion for seeking and developing new customer relationships, building a partnership portfolio and driving incremental business for our company. The ideal candidate will be a hard-working, driven individual that will play a key role in creating significant revenue growth by creating new relationships with the largest national home service businesses in the industry. You will report to the Director of Business Development.

The Team: The Business Development team is responsible for creating and managing programs that increase service professional acquisition and retention into the HomeAdvisor and Angie’s networks. On a regular basis we prospect for new strategic partnership opportunities. Once new partnerships are finalized, we orchestrate next steps with multiple internal departments to successfully launch our programs. Once launched, we team up with our Strategic Partnerships Account Management team to provide strategic guidance and best practices to deliver and increase overall program success for our partners. We formalize new relationships that secure millions of dollars in revenue each year, and with that comes an opportunity to be part of a dynamic team that plays a pivotal role in the overall growth of the company.

Each new strategic partner opportunity is different, and each approach is unique, so you start by building new relationships and formalizing new partnerships. Then you’ll coordinate with key internal groups to assemble and deliver valuable programs for both the business and your partners you develop and onboard in this role. Through a combination of prospecting, market penetration, attendance at trade shows, and face-to-face meetings with prospects, executives, and client interactions, you're growing the Business Development partnership customer base.
