About the Company
We are a well-established, 12-year-old corporate gifting, employee rewards, and engagement platform that has recently undergone a major transformation. Having rebuilt our technology around cutting-edge AI, our platform consolidates traditionally fragmented corporate programs—gifting, employee rewards, company stores, and kitting—into a single, highly scalable, end-to-end solution.
We primarily sell into North American mid-market and enterprise organizations ($30M–$500M+ in annual revenue). Following our AI-enabled platform rebuild, the company is experiencing tremendous momentum and is aggressively scaling its enterprise sales capacity.

This role is designed for a hungry, polished, and autonomous B2B sales professional who delivers the sophistication of a top U.S. enterprise seller. You will operate across two key sales motions:
Enterprise & Platform Sales (Primary Focus):Running consultative, multi-threaded solution sales into mid-market and enterprise leadership, guiding complex deals with average 3-month sales cycles (ranging from 3 weeks to 12 months).
Product & Transactional Sales (Fast-Turn Focus):Capitalizing on high-volume inbound leads for branded merchandise and corporate orders, converting quick-turn opportunities with rapid speed-to-lead.
You will not be micromanaged or "babysat." You will be given direct access to leadership, powerful AI tools to remove administrative overhead, inbound lead flow, and the autonomy to build a highly lucrative pipeline.

Enterprise / Platform Solution Sales
* Full-Cycle Ownership:Proactively target, engage, qualify, demo, negotiate, and close enterprise-level prospects.
* Consultative Selling:Uncover complex business needs, map the platform against fragmented legacy vendors, and articulate clear ROI to cross-functional executive stakeholders.
* Multi-Threaded Account Management:Build relationships across multiple departments (HR, People Ops, Marketing, Operations) within $30M–$500M+ revenue organizations.

* Polished Communication:Exceptional spoken and written English skills, with an executive presence and communication style that builds immediate credibility with North American buyers.
* Speed & Responsiveness:Obsessive about speed-to-lead and persistent with candidate/prospect follow-ups.
* Adaptable Execution:Ability to seamlessly pivot between a high-touch, strategic enterprise deal and a fast-turn transactional order without losing momentum.
* Tech-Savvy:Comfortable adopting modern sales technology and AI tools to accelerate productivity.
Required Qualifications
* Experience:Proven track record in B2B full-cycle sales (SDR/BDR → AE → Enterprise AE lifecycle or equivalent) selling software, technology, HR Tech, employee engagement, corporate services, or related solutions.
