We care far more about what you have done than where you did it.

What We Offer

- Own your pipeline and your quota: you carry a monthly and quarterly target, and your earnings are uncapped
- Become a genuine expert in influencer marketing and in how Upfluence solves real problems for brands and agencies
- Manage your pipeline and follow-up in Salesforce so nothing slips
- Bring the voice of the customer back to Product, Marketing, and Customer Success so the platform keeps getting better

- On-target earnings: Starting at $100,000, uncapped, with per-module spiffs paid on top of commission
- Clear progression: a defined ladder from AE I to AE II to Senior AE to Assistant Director, with base increases as you grow inside your role, not only when you are promoted
