About the role

Upside is seeking an SMB Account Executive to be the founding member of our new SMB Channel Sales team. In this role, you'll grow Upside's merchant footprint by acquiring and onboarding small and medium-sized restaurant businesses through strategic channel partners, including franchisors, POS companies, payment processors/acquirers, Value Added Resellers (VARs) and Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs). You will own primary responsibility for acquiring SMB merchants through these new partner channels.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years of experience in SMB sales, channel sales, or partner-driven business development — restaurant sales experience is preferred
  • A track record of managing high-volume, high-velocity sales pipelines with strong lead-to-close conversion
  • Comfort with both inbound lead management and proactive outbound/cold outreach
  • Data fluency — you can track performance metrics, spot trends in what's converting, and use that insight to prioritize your time
  • Self-starter energy and comfort with ambiguity, given this is a newly created role and team
  • Ability to travel (~10% for quarterly partner reviews)
More about this role

We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail—profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality—to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. We’ve helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.
