About The Company
In 1994, our founders saw a need for a local Missouri internet provider. They ignored some initial skepticism from friends and family – the internet was, after all “just a fad” - and started Socket, providing basic dial-up internet service out of a small office in Columbia. Demand for internet access grew rapidly. By 1999, Socket had more than 30,000 customers and relocated to two office spaces on Cherry Street in downtown Columbia. (Those spaces are now Glenn's Cafe and studio apartments!) As dial-up internet peaked, Socket looked to ways to keep its business moving forward. The company began offering high-speed internet and later became a CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier). With the expansion of business telephone and other advanced services, rapid growth ensued, and Socket was named one of the nation’s fastest growing companies by Inc. Magazine. Socket continued to expand, moving in 2007 to an office on Clark Lane in Columbia. Residential telephone service and Naked DSL internet were introduced, resulting in more expansion. Socket began work in 2011 on a brand new fiber-optic network to reach homes and businesses in rural Callaway County and Fulton. Socket has been expanding this fiber network ever since, now reaching several Missouri cities. Thousands of customers enjoy reliable, high-speed internet as a result. Today, Socket employs approximately 200 people and is proud to be Missouri's local fiber internet provider, and we plan on bringing state-of-the-art technology and friendly, local support to as many homes and businesses as possible. We look forward to serving you!
About the Role

Description

Are you a relationship-driven professional who enjoys identifying growth opportunities, negotiating agreements, and helping expand access to high-speed fiber internet? Do you thrive on building partnerships, managing complex projects, and working with property owners, developers, and community stakeholders?


Socket Fiber is looking for an MDU Account Executive to support the growth and expansion of our fiber network through strategic partnerships and property access agreements. This role plays a critical part in expanding service to multi-dwelling units (MDUs), apartment communities, manufactured home parks, and other residential and commercial developments. This position is an in-person role in Columbia, Mo.


In this role, you'll be responsible for identifying new development opportunities, negotiating building access and entrance agreements, and coordinating with internal teams to ensure projects move from concept to completion. You'll work closely with property owners, developers, brokers, municipalities, and utility partners to support Socket's growth objectives.

As a key member of the Business Development team, you'll help shape how Socket Fiber expands service throughout existing and emerging markets.


A Day in the Life

Your day may begin by researching new development opportunities, reviewing project timelines, and coordinating with internal teams regarding upcoming expansion projects. From there, you may meet with property owners, developers, or municipal representatives to discuss building access agreements and potential fiber deployments.

You might negotiate a new building access agreement for an apartment community, collaborate with engineering and construction teams on an expansion project, or review contract requirements and renewal schedules. Success in this role comes from building strong relationships, staying organized, and finding creative solutions that support both customer needs and Socket's long-term growth goals.


What You'll Do

Key responsibilities include:

  • Identify and develop opportunities within multi-dwelling units (MDUs), residential developments, and commercial properties.
  • Negotiate building access agreements, licenses, easements, and related contracts.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for property access and development-related initiatives.
  • Coordinate with Engineering, Construction, Operations, and Business Development teams on expansion projects.
  • Track agreements, project milestones, and contract renewals.
  • Research market trends, access requirements, and competitive opportunities.
  • Assist in delivering projects on time and within budget expectations.
  • Build relationships with property owners, developers, brokers, municipalities, utility companies, and other stakeholders.

What Will Help You Stand Out

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience negotiating contracts, access agreements, or real estate-related agreements.
  • Background in telecommunications, outside plant, fiber construction, or network expansion projects.
  • Experience working with developers, property managers, municipalities, or utility providers.
  • Knowledge of construction, permitting, or infrastructure development processes.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills.
  • Experience interpreting maps, blueprints, or construction plans.
