Work directly with America's best employers to bring joy to millions of employees!

Chicago + Remote: We have a solid footprint in Chicago, but we also hire exceptionally talented people who reside elsewhere.

We love the friendships we've forged in our Chicago office. But let's be real; things have changed. We don't plan to all return 100% in-office, but our office and gym are open on an optional basis for all employees who feel comfortable, including happy hours and team events. However, because culture and relationships are important to us, all candidates should be open to being in-office with their teams at pre-arranged times throughout the year. The specifics vary by role, so please discuss your plans with the hiring team.

Hi, welcome to PerkSpot. We’re looking for a collaborative and personable Sales Manager to join our growing Sales team and oversee its operations.

At PerkSpot, we consider the role of the Sales Manager to be a true sales coach, helping to develop the team’s sales skills and performance through a variety of coaching environments including one on one coaching, deal coaching, pipeline coaching, and account/territory strategy and planning. While our solution is “cost-free” to our clients, there is complexity to the process as we engage with enterprise-level businesses to provide a valuable employee benefit. The Sales Manager is responsible for guiding and developing the sales team members to the successful execution of sales processes in order to meet or exceed our quote attainment every quarter. From working on prospecting strategies with your team of six sellers, to sales coaching and performance management, your sales leadership skills coupled with a commitment to your team’s success and development, will help you directly impact the accomplishments of the company.

About PerkSpot

PerkSpot is an employee benefits company that works with America’s top employers to offer exclusive discounts, rewards, and recognition to millions of employees. These exclusive perks and savings are a great recruitment and retention tool that allows employees to take advantage of unique opportunities and feel great about the company they work for. We help employees from over 1,000 companies like Spotify, Walgreens, McDonald's, and Lyft save on everything from gym memberships and movie tickets to electronics, new cars, and travel.

Profitable and growing, our company was founded in 2006 by good people with a great vision, and we’re carrying on the work they started. In 2018, our company was proud to announce an additional investment of $50 million dollars from Susquehanna Growth Equity. As we continue to grow, we’re excited about our leadership position in the industry, but we’re also committed to doing more - developing better products, reaching more employers, and getting more employees engaged with our platform. Our passion is to make every place a great place to work, starting with our own. We’re a big platform, but a small team. That means we’re going to trust you with more responsibility than you’d have anywhere else and invest in your success and growth more than any other employer.

Your First Few Months

Culture fit is big at PerkSpot, which is why you’ll spend the first few weeks of your tenure learning about your team, the product, your job expectations, and our sales process. We strive to be the leader in coaching culture, so once you’re settled your focus will be on helping the team leverage their strengths and identify areas for development to the goal of improving sales outcomes. The ideal candidate will get up to speed quickly to begin joining sales calls and providing coaching and feedback, solidifying yourself as the in-house expert on negotiating, deal coaching, and pipeline sales strategy.

The Perks of Working at PerkSpot

We’re a big platform, but still a small team. That means we’re going to trust you with more responsibility than elsewhere, and invest in you more. You’re going to grow – a lot.

We work out of our office in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. When we are in the office, we dress how we like, encourage flexible hours and an open time-off policy, stock a good beer selection, and we’re pretty obsessive about our coffee. Most of all, we welcome good people with lots of energy and enthusiasm.

PerkSpot offers the full suite of benefits you’d expect from a profitable, established company, including health and dental insurance, a generous parental leave policy, 401(k), pre-tax transit benefits, and fully-funded disability coverage. We have in-office bike storage, a private gym, and a shower on-site.

We hold weekly company get-togethers where we learn from what went wrong and celebrate what went right. Every week at PerkSpot, we aim a little higher and get a little bit better than the previous week.

Because we consider every member of our team to be a fundamental part of our success, we encourage everyone to be invested in our success, regardless of their position. We want every one of our employees to think like an owner: put in the effort to exceed expectations, solve problems before they come up, and always go the extra mile. It’s this drive to succeed that makes PerkSpot such an interactive and fulfilling place to work.
