For too long, the housing industry has been doing the same thing, the same way, with the same disappointing results. Buildings take too long to construct, cost too much to produce, and leave millions of hardworking Americans unable to afford a great place to live.
We're changing that.
Vessel is a New York City-based technology company reinventing the way buildings are designed, manufactured, and built.
Our first product, Calypso, is a revolutionary new kind of prefabricated apartment building. Conceived as a consumer product rather than a conventional construction project, Calypso brings together extraordinary design, advanced engineering, precision manufacturing, and technology to deliver something the housing industry has never seen before.
Our mission is simple: to overcome the housing crisis and offer each person the opportunity for an extraordinary life.
We're assembling a team of exceptional people who believe that the best way to change an industry isn't to improve what already exists. It's to imagine something entirely new.
We're looking for an exceptional sales leader who can turn an extraordinary product into extraordinary commercial success.
As VP, Sales, you'll work directly alongside a Vessel Division Head to transform developer interest into signed building contracts.
You'll be the person who takes an opportunity from "This is interesting" to "Where do I sign?"
This isn't conventional real estate sales. You won't be selling another construction method or competing on the margins of a commodity product. You'll be introducing developers to an entirely new way of thinking about apartment buildings—and demonstrating why Calypso can fundamentally change the economics of their business.
You'll combine commercial instincts, analytical rigor, technical curiosity, and an obsession with the customer to make that happen.
We're less interested in how many years you've spent selling real estate than in how you think, what you've accomplished, and what you're capable of doing next.
Experience in real estate development, multifamily housing, or complex B2B sales is valuable. But exceptional ability, commercial judgment, and a demonstrated record of achievement matter more to us than a conventional résumé.
Success is measured by buildings sold—not meetings held, presentations delivered, or proposals outstanding.
You'll be accountable for building a strong pipeline, converting opportunities into signed contracts, developing repeat customers, and helping your division achieve its sales objectives.
You'll receive a competitive base salary and performance-based bonus tied to buildings sold, including repeat business, with sales credited upon achievement of the required permits.
Most sales executives spend their careers competing to sell a better version of something that already exists.
At Vessel, you'll have the opportunity to introduce the world to something genuinely new.
We're not trying to make conventional construction a little faster or a little cheaper. We're reimagining the building itself—and, in doing so, creating an entirely new way to deliver housing at scale.
If you're the kind of person who wants to do more than hit a sales target—if you want to help transform an industry and make an extraordinary impact—we want to meet you.
