HEAD OF HOST AGENCY ACQUISITION

Pagoda Pro | Independent Contractor | 12-Month Initial Term (renewable)

THE ROLE

Pagoda Pro is looking for someone to fill the Head of Host Agency Acquisition role and build our host-agency network from the ground up. You'll identify, pitch, and sign host agencies, support them through onboarding and activation, and hand off day-to-day account management to our Account Managers once each agency is live — then move on to the next one. This is a pure hunting role: no ongoing account maintenance, no admin overhead, just closing valuable partnerships in a wide-open market of an estimated 500–600 host agencies worldwide.

CONTRACT

• Initial term: 12 months, engaged as an independent contractor

• Strong Year 1 performance may lead to an employee or executive position for Year 2

• Maximum initial engagement: 24 months across two performance periods

• Strong performers may be granted exclusive responsibility for host-agency acquisition

COMPENSATION

Acquisition fee per host agency signed, released in three milestones (agreement signed → agency launched/activated → first booking or revenue threshold):

• Up to 500 advisors: $6,000

• 501–2,000 advisors: $7,500

• Over 2,000 advisors: $10,000

Recurring monthly commission per host agency (while it remains active and meets minimum activity thresholds):

• $1,000/month for months 1–12

• $500/month for months 13–24

• Up to $18,000 total per agency

A single large host agency (2,000+ advisors) is worth up to $28,000 over 24 months.

PROFIT-SHARE UPSIDE

Beyond individual deal compensation, Pagoda operates a company-wide Performance Pool equal to 15% of annual Adjusted EBITDA. Top performers may be invited to participate — for example, a General Manager-level contributor can earn up to 5% of Adjusted EBITDA annually under the current plan.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• A proven hunter who thrives on new-business development, not account management

• Comfortable working independently against a clear target (Year 1 guideline: 8–10 qualified host agencies)

• Existing relationships or credibility in the travel / host-agency space is a strong plus
