The Role

We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail—profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality—to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. We’ve helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.

As Director, GTM Enablement you will lead the GTM Training & Enablement function at Upside, developing programs to maximize the effectiveness of our Retailer GTM organization. You will help build alignment between our go-to-market strategies and sales execution and customer retention efforts. The remit covers the entire retailer lifecycle, from demand gen to churn saves and win-back opportunities; from onboarding to ongoing product and pitch certifications. Through these efforts, you will increase productivity across commercial teams and implement best practices that lead to increased revenue, bookings attainment, and customer retention. You will frequently move between strategic, executive-level visioning and producing hands-on, tangible output. You will report into the VP, GTM Strategy & Operations.

  • Lead content development, facilitation, and project management of RGTM Kick-off and other commercial team quarterly on-sites throughout the year.
  • Define the strategy for Merchant Education, ensuring that Upside is continuing to engage customers in a compelling way that creates increased retention. This will include partnering with our Account Management and Customer Marketing teams to ensure merchants’ sustained, understanding of the value that Upside brings to their businesses.
  • Enhance Enablement project management processes (including project plans, dashboards, and templates) that increase efficiency in project execution.
  • Design and deliver measurement framework for Enablement programs, reporting periodically to RGTM leadership on the impact of those programs.
  • Partner with Sales Ops to source, implement, maintain, and train on technologies that support Enablement efforts.
