The Role
Own the full sales cycle for net-new mid-market DTC and e-commerce advertisers. Responsibilities include prospecting, qualifying inbound leads, conducting discovery, presenting performance-marketing solutions, negotiating contracts, launching initial campaigns, monitoring results, scaling customer spend, forecasting pipeline, and developing category expertise. The role requires consultative, data-driven selling and ongoing account ownership in a remote, fast-paced environment.
Summary Generated by Built In

Nift is disrupting performance marketing — we deliver millions of net-new customers to DTC and e-commerce brands every month. We're growing our Mid-Market team, and we're looking for a full-cycle seller to help build it.

This is a true hunter's seat. You'll personally research, prospect, and close net-new Mid-Market DTC & e-commerce advertisers — then own those accounts as they scale. There's no SDR handing you leads and no CS team taking the account off your plate: you open the door, win the business, get the first campaign live, and grow it. Land and expand.

If you've sold a performance-marketing product to growth and marketing leaders and you like the idea of an open field with room to build, keep reading.

Why this role is different
  • Ground-floor seat: Mid-Market is still being built here. You'll help write the playbook, not inherit one.
  • Open remit, real ownership: No rigid territories, no lead handoffs. You self-source, you close, and you keep what you land as it grows.
  • A product that actually converts: Nift introduces brands to new customers through thoughtful "thank-you" gifts — a genuinely differentiated, performance-based acquisition channel, not another ad placement.
  • Comp with upside: Competitive base, balanced 50/50 OTE, uncapped commission, plus equity potential.
  • Learn from the best: You'll work closely with our CRO, Saket Mehta — named to the 2026 Adweek 50
What you'll do
  • Self-source and prospect net-new Mid-Market DTC/e-commerce brands, and quickly qualify inbound leads
  • Run discovery to understand each brand's acquisition goals, CPA/ROAS targets, and conversion paths
  • Show growth and marketing leaders how Nift drives net-new customers, and lead pricing and contract negotiations
  • Own the account after close — get the first campaign live, monitor performance, and scale spend
  • Build and forecast a healthy pipeline, and become Nift's category expert as the market evolves
What you bring
  • 5+ years of sales experience, ideally selling a performance-marketing or customer-acquisition product to marketing / growth / performance teams — with a track record of self-sourcing, closing, and beating quota
  • Full-cycle instincts: you're comfortable owning everything from cold outreach to close to account growth
  • Consultative, data-driven selling: you translate campaign data into a clear, compelling case and connect client goals to platform performance
  • Excellent communication with founders and senior leaders at small-to-mid-size brands
  • Organized and self-driven — you thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured, results-oriented environment, and you're fluent in CRM and modern sales tools

  • Equity potential for full-time employees
  • Flexible remote work + Unlimited Responsible PTO
  • A direct, visible impact on Nift's revenue, growth, and future

Skills Required

  • 5+ years of sales experience
  • Experience selling performance-marketing or customer-acquisition products to marketing, growth, or performance teams
  • Track record of self-sourcing prospects, closing business, and exceeding quota
  • Experience owning the full sales cycle from cold outreach through account growth
  • Consultative, data-driven selling ability
  • Excellent communication with founders and senior leaders at small-to-mid-size brands
  • Fluency with CRM and modern sales tools
