- Rigorous Data & Pipeline Hygiene: Maintain accurate data in CRM with diligent follow-ups, detailed meeting notes, and clear next steps. Monitor dashboards to ensure consistent engagement, preventing deals from becoming inactive.
- Account Management & Partner Optimization: Act as a strategic partner to merchants during and post-onboarding; evaluate business impact, manage initial partner health, and use upsell frameworks to introduce additional Uber products that maximize mutual value.
- Forecasting & Reporting: Partner with leadership to review pipeline health, deliver accurate performance forecasting, and maintain complete business visibility.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build strong relationships with internal teams to streamline the merchant launch experience and clearly report territory performance to your manager.
Who you'll be:
- Experience & Track Record: 1+ years of professional sales experience in a high-velocity, quota-carrying role (B2B, SMB, SaaS, digital ad, restaurant, or retail preferred) with a proven track record of hitting or exceeding monthly/quarterly targets.
- Full 360 Sales Cycle Mastery: Proven capability managing the full end-to-end cycle, from proactive prospecting and market mapping to identifying needs, negotiating commercial structures, and transitioning relationships into early-stage account management.
- Soft Skills & Drive: Excellent communication, active listening, and presentation skills. Must be a resourceful problem-solver who can overcome objections with creative perseverance in a fast-paced environment.
- Product Expertise: Confidently handle routine product questions and platform objections by demonstrating deep marketplace expertise.
- Deal Structuring & Upselling: Propose basic commercial deal structures and follow existing upsell frameworks to maximize the mutual value of the partnership from day one.
- Customer-Centric Growth: Scope out complex merchant problems and evaluate the robust business impact your solution provides to ensure long-term partner satisfaction.
Preferred Qualifications
- CRM & Tech Proficiency: Proficiency in Salesforce with strong data management habits to prevent pipeline stagnation and maintain strict pipeline hygiene.
