Introducing ActivityHero

ActivityHero joined Aeries Software in May 2026! A well-established name in kids’ out-of-school enrichment, ActivityHero offers two products for activity providers: registration software to manage enrollment and run their programs, and an online marketplace where families find and book camps, classes, and after-school programs.

You will be employed by Aeries Software and work as part of the ActivityHero marketplace team, focused on growing our network of activity providers.

All About the Job

Aeries is hiring a self-directed, high-energy SMB Account Executive to be the dedicated provider acquisition engine for the ActivityHero marketplace. You will sell ActivityHero’s registration software and marketing solutions to kids’ activity providers, helping them run their programs and reach more families.

This is a fast-paced role on a small team. You will be responsible for the complete sales cycle from conducting outbound prospecting activities to building a rock-solid pipeline and closing new sales with small businesses. We will give you strong marketing support, a product that solves real problems for providers, and close collaboration with the marketplace team. ActivityHero has an established marketplace and customer base, and you’ll have real influence on how we sell: documenting what works, testing new approaches, and building a repeatable process as the team grows.

This role reports to the Director of Marketplace Operations & Marketing.
