About the Role:

Homebound is seeking a City Launcher to lead our Los Angeles wildfire rebuild efforts and provide essential housing solutions to support the community's recovery. As the face of Homebound, the City Launcher will build key local relationships, drive on-the-ground efforts, and help establish Homebound’s presence in the community. This role will be responsible for developing and executing the strategy to ensure a seamless and impactful market entry. The ideal candidate will have a self-starter mindset, entrepreneurial drive, and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Homebound has a proven track record of successfully helping to rebuild communities after natural disasters, having supported recovery efforts in Fort Myers, FL, Santa Rosa, CA, and Colorado. We hope to bring that experience to Los Angeles to help rebuild lives and homes in the wake of these devastating wildfires.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as Homebound’s primary representative in Los Angeles, attending city hall meetings, insurance adjuster discussions, and other key stakeholder engagements.

• Represent Homebound in front of key external stakeholders (including government officials, vendors, and community partners) and build strong working relationships to drive Homebound’s market entry strategy.

• Develop & execute market launch plans, own the day-to-day execution of the launch plan, with minimal direction and a high degree of autonomy.

• Act as the on-the-ground coordinator, problem-solving in real-time and adjusting strategies based on shifting market dynamics.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams including growth, legal, and construction to ensure all aspects of the market launch are aligned and progressing.

• Track and report on launch milestones, market insights, and customer interest to internal stakeholders.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in launching a new market, product launch, or a background in General Management or other related fields.

• Experience working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with minimal structure (e.g., consulting, startups, or entrepreneurial ventures).

• Comfortable representing Homebound externally while building strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government officials, vendors, community leaders, and potential partners.

• Strong organizational and project management skills, capable of managing multiple priorities and timelines.

• Ability to think strategically while also executing on tactical tasks.

• Knowledge of the Los Angeles market is preferred and must be based in Los Angeles or willing to relocate immediately.
