Account Executive

Only apply if you have 2+ years of Swag/Promotional Product Experience.

Swag... everyone loves to receive it!

Whether it be welcoming new hires into their dream job, thanking customers for their loyalty, celebrating a community milestone, or engaging event attendees, when done right, swag is the glue that bonds brands together with the people that matter to them. But no one enjoys putting this stuff together...

The $30 Billion branded swag supply chain is a complete mess, filled with too many products, too many intermediaries, too little quality control, and not enough technology.

SwagUp is disrupting the industry by streamlining the end to end supply chain and making it available through a single platform utilizing powerful APIs and interfaces (e.g. dashboard). As the fastest growing swag company, we have made great strides towards our mission of eliminating the friction in the swag creation and distribution process. BUT we’ve just begun to scratch the surface…

And that’s where YOU come in…

Role Overview: 2+ years of Swag Industry Experience Required. 

We’re looking for master relationship builders! Through the SwagUp journey, we’ve come to realize, no matter how great your technology is, people buy from people. Account Executives at SwagUp are our eyes and ears on the ground, acquiring and expanding relationships with top customers by delivering an unmatched customer experience.

You will have the privilege of working with some of the top startups and corporations in the world, helping them fully leverage the power of swag through unmatched service, technology, and operational excellence. As an AE at SwagUp, there is endless opportunity to build your book of business and progress through the sales org. This is a high volume, high stakes role where every customer relationship counts and the difference in outcomes between mediocre and world class is massive. 

We believe swag is incredibly impactful, but incredibly underutilized because of all of the friction involved in buying and distributing it. We are on a mission to Empower meaningful connections for organizations worldwide by simplifying branded merchandise management.

The best AEs are more akin to consultants than they are sales people. Great AEs are curious, they deeply understand their customer’s business in order to uncover problems that align with solutions they can provide. We win through partnership, not mindless pushing. 

We're looking for someone who embodies curiosity, humility, and the entrepreneurial drive to build out their accounts. If you're ready to join a team where top performers thrive and creativity meets strategic selling, we welcome you to apply.
