Position SummaryWe're seeking an Area Director to launch, grow, and lead a Stroll publication in your local market. Area Directors operate as a local publisher: building partnerships with local business owners, featuring residents and their stories, and growing a recurring revenue stream.
If accepted, you'd follow a clear, step-by-step launch plan. Your first months focus on establishing your territory and building your client base. From there, you'd grow a business with your name on it.
This hybrid opportunity combines in-person relationship building with work from your home office.
Who You Are- You want more control over your time, your income, and your future, and you're ready to build toward it.
- You're driven to win, and you take initiative without waiting to be told what's next.
- You value a proven plan and will follow a system that works while making it your own.
- You're a natural relationship-builder with consultative sales instincts.
- You're curious and coachable, always looking to sharpen your skills and learn from people who've done it before.
- You don't need to check every box. If this sounds like the life you want to build, we want to hear from you.
What Area Directors Do- Meet with local business owners to build long-term advertising partnerships.
- Help local businesses reach the homeowners in the neighborhoods you serve.
- Connect with residents to capture authentic stories that reflect the heart of each community.
- Manage your territory, sales pipeline, and publication operations using N2's proven tools and processes.
- Partner with N2's national team for design, production, training, and ongoing support.
- Lead your publication's growth as the face of Stroll in your market.
What Area Directors Love- Freedom over your time: Build your workday around your life, not the other way around.
- A proven path: Step-by-step training and repeatable systems mean you're never guessing what comes next.
- Something you own: Build a business and a reputation in your market.
