About Clever

Clever Real Estate is a venture-backed proptech company revolutionizing how people buy, sell, and manage real estate. We combine cutting-edge technology with deep industry expertise to deliver seamless, efficient, and transparent experiences to home buyers and sellers.

We’ve built the leading online education platform in real estate and earned a nearly perfect 5.0 TrustPilot rating—helping consumers save over $160 million in real estate fees. If you're energized by the idea of helping us scale a growing, remote-first company through strategic partnerships and high-impact deals, this role is for you.

The Role

We’re hiring a driven and strategic VP of Business Development to fuel growth in our B2B2C channel, Clever Pro, which powers partnerships with mortgage lenders, banks, and institutions seeking to offer real estate services to their clients.

You’ll work closely with our CEO and executive team to close new deals, grow key accounts, and turn conversations into lasting partnerships that move the needle. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and wants to be a hands-on seller, relationship builder, and closer.

What You'll Do

• Own and execute Clever’s outbound strategy for partnerships and enterprise sales
• Build and lead a high-performing business development team
• Identify, pitch, and close new strategic partnerships that drive revenue and customer growth
• Expand distribution across new channels and verticals, including mortgage, title, investment, and financial services
• Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and Ops to launch new offerings and maximize monetization
• Represent Clever externally with partners, exec teams, and industry groups
• Analyze performance data to refine strategy and scale what works

Travel Expectations

Travel comes in waves. In some quarters, you may be on the road 8–10 weeks out of 12; in others, only 3–4. Most trips are short—1 to 2 nights max—but you should expect regular partner visits, conferences, and in-person meetings throughout the year.

What Success Looks Like

In Your First 6 Months

• Support closing efforts on in-flight deals alongside the CEO
• Build a personal pipeline with 10+ active conversions
• Progress at least 2 deals into late-stage approval or procurement
• Increase engagement with our largest account (U.S. Bank)

Within 18 Months

• Own and manage 15–30 enterprise prospects
• Close deals that drive 50+ transactions/month
• Become a go-to expert for Clever’s B2B2C sales motion
• Help build repeatable systems for tracking, reporting, and optimizing deal flow

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, or B2B sales
• Proven success in a fast-paced, high-growth environment — ideally in proptech, fintech, or marketplaces
• Track record of closing complex deals and scaling new business lines
• Experience building and managing teams
• Strong executive presence and ability to lead cross-functional initiatives
• Strategic thinker with a bias toward action and outcomes
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
