The job

You'll be the first person picking up the phone for Benson in the US. The job is easy to describe and hard to do well: find Shopify brands that are losing money to coupon extensions, get them curious, and book a call.

You won't be cold-calling with a slide deck, though. Our preview shows any store its own data in seconds, so your first message can be about their shop rather than ours.

Because you're first, you'll also be the one who works out what lands in the US. What you learn becomes the playbook for everyone who joins after you.

Your first 90 days

  1. First 30 daysLearn the product inside out, sit in on calls with Doug, and build your first lists of US brands and agencies.
  2. By day 60Running your own outreach every day, booking first calls, and telling us which messages work.
  3. By day 90A steady weekly pipeline, a playbook you wrote yourself, and a say in who we hire next.

What you'll actually do

  • 01Build lists of US Shopify brands and the agencies that run their stores.
  • 02Reach out by email, phone and LinkedIn, opening with what's happening on their store.
  • 03Run first calls and pass qualified deals to the account executive.
  • 04Keep the CRM honest and write up what you learn each week.

Is this you?

You'll fit right in if
  • You've done a year or more of outbound, ideally to ecommerce or DTC brands.
  • You like the phone, and a no doesn't ruin your afternoon.
  • You write short, human emails that people actually answer.
  • You'd like to help build a sales team, not just join one.
  • You know the affiliate world (networks, coupon and cashback extensions, partner programmes), or you're confident you can learn it fast.
  • You're a generalist, and you're happy when the job changes shape.
Probably not for you if
  • You need a famous brand name and a big enablement team behind you.
  • You'd rather never set foot in an office.
  • You want a clearly defined role that stays the same all year.

What you get

  • Founding equity, so you share in what you build.
  • Uncapped commission.
  • 25 days off, plus US public holidays.
  • Health, dental and vision cover.
  • The laptop and kit you want.

Our first US office is in New York. Live nearby and you'll be in four days a week with the US team. Elsewhere on the East Coast? Work Eastern hours and come in regularly, travel paid. Some things are just better in a room.

From first email to offer in about two weeks. You'll know where you stand at every step.
