WorkHero : Growth Marketer

About WorkHero

WorkHero is building the AI-powered back office for the skilled trades.

The skilled trades, and especially the $100B+ HVAC industry, are at the heart of our economy and the climate transition. Thousands of small business owners in HVAC and the rest of the trades keep our homes comfortable and energy efficient. Yet these business owners are buried under administrative work.

WorkHero's mission is to help the small guys compete, i.e. the independent contractors and family-owned HVAC shops. By pairing experienced office managers with AI tools, we reduce the admin burden, help owners grow thriving businesses, and expand the capacity needed to install heat pumps.

We've grown to $500K+ ARR in months, with backing from Workshop Ventures, top angels, and strategic advisors like Chad Laurans (Founder of SimpliSafe) and Gerald Chertavian (Founder of Year Up).

Preference for candidates based in New York or on the east coast, though we welcome exceptional applicants from anywhere.
