Position Overview

We are seeking a seasoned and strategic Vice President of Roofing Sales to lead and scale our residential re-roof sales operations.

This individual should also have direct, personal experience as a home improvement sales representative, having personally sold over 200 residential re-roofs earlier in their career. They must bring a strong foundation in structured, repeatable in-home selling systems, such as those taught by Rodney Webb, John DeRosa, or similar frameworks.

This leader will build a team of in-home sales consultants and selling technicians who will run company-provided leads, referrals, and self-generated opportunities. The Vice President of Roofing Sales will be responsible for building and managing a high-performing sales organization, and for designing and implementing strategies that maximize referral and self-generated lead volume across all markets.

This position will partner with the sales leaders in our solar division to increase roofing attachment to solar and battery sales, and will also work with those same leaders to increase solar attachment to roofing sales.

This role is based in Wall Township, New Jersey. Onsite is strongly preferred, and relocation assistance will be provided. Hybrid or remote arrangements will be considered for the right candidate. Travel to branches and vendor/industry events is expected.
