Full description of the position

About Cedar Cedar is creating the most significant innovation in home affordability since the 30-year mortgage. By reimagining the land lease as a consumer-first model, Cedar makes homeownership more accessible and sustainable for a wider range of buyers. We are actually solving home affordability at scale - this is one of the most pressing problems in our country today and we are fixing it. Our structure meaningfully reduces both the upfront cost of purchasing a home and monthly costs. We expand the path to ownership for people who have been locked out of traditional markets and help existing homeowners access their equity at cost well below existing solutions. Cedar is already making a substantial impact for homeowners and we have material backing from top investors. Join our fast-growing and high-preforming team as we fundamentally change how people buy homes and create a new institutional asset class. About the Role The Sales Lead for our Cedar's Cash-Out program, which allows homeowners to access their home equity without refinancing or taking on new debt, is a key position as we grow. This role focuses on educating real estate agents, financial professionals, and homeowners on how Cedar's ground lease structure can unlock trapped equity while maintaining stability of ownership. You will report directly to the Head of Partnerships and work cross-functionally with underwriting, transaction management, product and marketing to ensure smooth execution, clear communication, and a growing pipeline of active transactions. While this will start as a sales role it will ideally grow into more of a general manger role where you will be responsible not just for sales metrics but the whole business unit including product design, marketing, technology, and additional sales resources.

We run a true owner's culture: high standards, direct feedback, fast iteration, and accountability to outcomes. You'll have real responsibility early, you'll be expected to think--not just execute--and you'll be surrounded by teammates who push hard and care deeply about excellence. This is not a company for people who need perfect clarity, gentle consensus, or predictable routines. The pace is fast, the problems are complex, and the bar is high. But the upside is rare: steep growth, meaningful autonomy, and the chance to do career-defining work with a team that treats the mission seriously and rewards success well. If you want comfort, you won't like it here. If you want to build, learn, and win--Cedar is the place. Compensation Range: $100K - $270K
