Who You Are


Tech Savvy
Given we’re a tech start-up, you should be fluent in internet technologies. Taking on live chats from the website, communicating with the team via Slack, making minor edits in WordPress, knowledge on how to prospect via Instagram and social media, and experience with high level CRM management (bonus points for HubSpot) are all good indicators that you’re a good fit for the role. You don’t need to be a coder, but if your response to HTML is FML, this might not be the job for you.

Entrepreneural Minded
Due to the nature of our business, you will be calling on landlords and leasing agents on the regular. You should be EXCITED to be getting in on the ground floor of a start-up and know you are paving the way not just for Popable™ but for your own respective careers, and the advancement of hundreds of thousands of peoples dreams carving their path into retail.

Sales & Service Driven
At the end of the day, this is a sales and client support role and someone who is dynamic, has the ability to get in front of decision makers, and is comfortable presenting in front of people is ultimately the best candidate for the position.

For the right candidate, we’re offering equity plus a competitive base salary against commissioned sales. It goes without saying this candidate should also be highly self-motivated, tenacious, competitive, and possess good oral and written skills. You should have a demonstrated track record of success in developing, prioritizing, and managing integrated, multi-channel ROI-oriented communications strategies.
