General Manager, EMEA / UK [Remote]

Nift is disrupting performance marketing, delivering millions of new customers to brands every month. We’re actively looking for a General Manager, EMEA / UK to join our Revenue team.

As the General Manager of EMEA, you will report to global CRO, and will lead & execute our growth strategy. You will be responsible for all commercial development (sales) to Partners/ Brands/Advertisers across EMEA. You’ll initially be personally responsible for building strong relationships with senior-level contacts, industry leaders, driving revenue and establishing a scalable process, before hiring a team and expanding the GEO’s.

Our Mission

Nift’s mission is to reshape how people discover and try new brands by introducing them to new products and services through thoughtful "thank-you" gifts. Our customer-first approach ensures businesses acquire new customers efficiently while making customers feel valued and rewarded. We are a data-driven, cash-flow-positive company that has experienced 1,111% growth over the last three years. Now, we’re scaling to become one of the largest sources for new customer acquisition worldwide.

Backed by  Spark Capital & Foundry who also invested in Slack, Snap, SeatGeek, Fitbit, Warby Parker, Wayfair and Twitter, we are poised for exponential growth and ready to demonstrate impact on a global scale. Read more about our growth here . 

What you will do: 

• Drive expansion across priority EMEA markets, ensuring accelerated acquisition of demand-side & supply side partners/brands/advertisers throughout the region
• Build, nurture, and maintain direct C-suite & VP level relationships within enterprise partners, brands, advertisers, and agencies

• Successful track record selling performance marketing solutions and/or ad-tech, ideally with small company or start-up exposure

• Results-driven, with a strong focus on outcomes, and a demonstrable proof of consistently meeting or exceeding your quota, plans, and aggressive revenue targets
• Ownership Mindset: Proactive and self-motivated; a driver, not a passenger. Takes initiative, builds from the ground up, and consistently exceeds expectations
