Job description

Midtown Home Improvements Nashville, TN

Midtown Home Improvements is a people-first home improvement company built around one simple belief: great customer experiences start with great people.

That mindset has helped Midtown earn multiple Best Places to Work, Top Workplace, and Leadership awards, while continuing to grow across multiple markets.

We are looking for an experienced Canvass Director to lead, grow, and develop our Nashville canvassing department.

This is not a desk-only management position.

We are looking for someone who can recruit, train, motivate, develop leaders, build a strong field culture, and take ownership of the department's performance.

Compensation
  • $50,000 base salary
  • 1% commission/override on all canvass-generated revenue
  • Strong six-figure earning potential
  • Performance-based upside tied directly to department growth

A Canvass Director leading a department that generates $10 million annually would earn approximately:

$50,000 Base + $100,000 Revenue Override = $150,000 Annual Compensation

Your earning potential grows as the department grows.

What You'll Be Responsible For
  • Recruit and build a high-performing canvassing team
  • Hire, train, coach, and develop Canvass Managers
  • Oversee approximately 20+ canvassers as the department grows
  • Create and maintain a consistent recruiting pipeline
  • Lead daily and weekly team meetings
  • Establish individual and team performance goals
  • Monitor appointments, issued leads, demos, sales, and revenue
  • Hold managers and canvassers accountable to performance expectations
  • Develop territory and neighborhood strategies
  • Spend time in the field coaching and observing the team
  • Improve appointment quality and overall field productivity
  • Develop future managers and leaders from within the department
  • Work closely with sales and company leadership
  • Build a competitive, positive, and performance-driven culture
Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate has experience in door-to-door sales, canvassing, direct sales, or field marketing and understands what it takes to recruit and retain a successful team.

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Competitive and highly motivated
  • Comfortable leading from the front
  • Strong at recruiting and developing people
  • Experienced with performance management and accountability
  • Organized and numbers-driven
  • Confident leading managers and field representatives
  • Comfortable coaching in the field
  • Able to build culture and create consistency
  • Driven by growth and results
  • High-character with a strong work ethic

Experience in industries such as home improvement, roofing, solar, pest control, telecom, security, windows, siding, or other door-to-door organizations is highly valuable.

Previous leadership or management experience is strongly preferred.

What Midtown Offers
  • Competitive base salary
  • Uncapped performance-based earning potential
  • Full medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid time off
  • State-of-the-art technology and training
  • Career advancement opportunities
  • Company events and employee recognition programs
  • Annual tropical destination trip opportunities
  • Various event tickets, incentives, and luxury travel opportunities
  • A growing company with opportunities for long-term professional development
Why Midtown?

We believe people perform at their best when they are given the opportunity, tools, accountability, and support to grow.

This role is for someone who does not simply want to manage a department.

We want someone who wants to build one.

If you have successfully led a door-to-door team, enjoy developing people, and want your income directly tied to the success of the organization you build, we want to speak with you.

Job Type: Full-Time
Work Setting: In-Person
Compensation: $50,000 Base + 1% Canvass Revenue Override
Expected Earnings: $75,000$150,000+ depending on department performance
