Manager, Account Executives – Remote, anywhere in the US
About the Role
Knock is looking for a hands-on sales manager to lead a team of fully remote Account Executives. You will be accountable for your team hitting its monthly targets for leads and loan applications.
Knock originates the Knock Bridge Loan™ — the first-of-its-kind product that allows homeowners to tap into their current home's equity to buy their next one before selling. You will run the day: coach your team, inspect the pipeline, hold the standard, and make sure every AE can position the product against the alternatives and win.
What You'll Do
- Own your team's number — outreach activity, leads, conversion, and loan application volume against monthly targets
- Coach your team through weekly 1:1s, pipeline reviews, and live feedback on calls and partner meetings
- Hold each AE to their production standard, and act early when someone falls off pace
- Run the weekly cadence of pipeline review, activity inspection, and forecast submission, giving sales leadership an accurate read on where the month lands
- Onboard and ramp new AEs to productivity on a defined timeline
- Interview and hire Account Executives, and build a candidate pipeline ahead of open roles
- Equip the team to position the Knock Bridge Loan™ against the alternatives and handle cost, rate, and timing objections from both the partner and the borrower
- Ensure the team represents Knock's partner lender relationships correctly, including compliant framing of introductions where the partner lender retains the forward mortgage
- Maintain pipeline accuracy and data hygiene in MeridianLink Mortgage (MLM)
- Escalate systemic blockers — lead quality, product gaps, operational friction — to sales leadership with the evidence behind them
- Partner with Lending Operations and Underwriting to keep applications moving once submitted
What You'll Bring
- Proven success carrying a team number, not just a personal quota
- Proven ability to coach sellers — able to diagnose whether an AE's problem is activity, targeting, or skill, and fix it
- Working knowledge of how loan officers, team leads, and branch managers make decisions, and what converts them into producing partners
- Ability to sell the product yourself and model the pitch in front of a partner
- Comfort inspecting pipeline and activity data, and acting on what it shows
- Willingness to give direct feedback and hold a standard consistently across a team
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to represent Knock externally to partners
- A deep belief in fostering inclusive, equitable practices that reflect Knock's core values
- Proven success in a fully remote, distributed team environment
- Recent lending experience required
- Experience: Minimum of 5 years of sales or business development experience in mortgage, real estate, or proptech, including at least 2 years leading or formally mentoring a sales team
- Education: Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience
We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every listed qualification. We value potential, growth mindset, and diverse experiences.
Physical Requirements
- Set up and constantly operate a computer.
- Communicate and exchange accurate information to others via telephone or internet video applications.
- Must be able to travel, including overnight travel at least 4 times per year
- Must be able to lift, carry and push up to 20 lbs.
The candidate must be able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation.
