About Innovation Works

Innovation Works is a venture-backed, loan crowdfunding platform that unlocks capital for small businesses from an unconventional and innovative source - their fans, friends, and community. By crowdfunding a small business loan from their customers, entrepreneurs create deeper relationships with their community and investors earn a return while supporting local businesses they love. It's a true win-win.

Key Responsibilities
  • Work day-in and day-out with inspiring Main Street business entrepreneurs
  • Become an expert on our community capital product, so you can educate business owners on the benefits of raising capital from their own neighbors

  • Build relationships with referral partners to bring more qualified businesses to the platform
  • Own the Pittsburgh market with support from lead generation, operations, marketing, and customer success staff
  • Close deals and support our customer success team with onboarding small businesses to launch their Honeycomb campaigns
Requirements
  • Highly self-motivated and goal-oriented
  • Persistent without being rude or overbearing
  • Detail-oriented with a track record of keeping meticulous records in their CRM
  • Unafraid to work the phones to get a hold of business owners
  • Comfortable working remotely from the comfort of your own workspace, while maintaining close ties with the Innovation Works marketing, operations, and customer success teams
  • Buoyant and able to laugh off a tough call with a prospect or customer
  • Team players who want to see their colleagues succeed alongside themselves
