We’re looking for a creative, scrappy, and hungry sales associate who is eager to find, cultivate, and close deals and grow our B2B SaaS product for brands, Thingtesting for Business. This full-cycle sales role is responsible for prospecting and outreach, helping brands launch product testing campaigns, and converting them into paying customers. You’ll work closely with brands, helping them grow, gather feedback, and build social proof while working closely with our marketing, product, and account management teams to constantly iterate and improve our product and offering for brands.

About Thingtesting


We're a brand discovery and product testing community, with a shared goal to help people shop better. Over 1 million visitors come to Thingtesting.com every month to research before they buy, but also to discover new brands, try new things, and share honest reviews to help others shop better.

We are a venture-backed early-stage startup that has raised financing from renowned U.S. and European funds and angel investors, including Forerunner Ventures, Animo Ventures, Hunter Walk, Tina Sharkey, and many more. We have been fortunate to receive appreciation and recognition for our hard work along the way from the likes of TechCrunch, Vogue Business, Modern Retail, and a Harvard Business School case study.
