Who you are

- You're a strong storyteller who understands change management and knows how to frame value for decision-makers who are protective of their existing distribution strategies
- Own and execute against a quarterly quota of GMV and brand activations, managing a pipeline of strategic enterprise prospects
- Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (typically 6-9 months) by building relationships across departments and handling objections at each level
- Develop tailored proposals and business cases that align Faire's value with each prospect's specific goals and constraints
- Partner with cross-functional teams - including Product, Strategy & Analytics, and Revenue Operations - to refine our enterprise sales motion and share market
- Insights

- Meet prospects in person when needed to build trust and accelerate deal velocity
Our take
Faire is helping retailers find and buy wholesale merchandise for their stores, pairing independent brands with retailers. The company connects two million retailers globally to hundreds of thousands of brands across the globe.
In addition to a large catalog, the company attracts smaller retailers by offering net 60-day terms and free returns to boost confident buying at unpredictable times. Faire has seen impressive growth, reporting 300% year-on-year volume growth and a valuation of over $12.6B following its most recent tranche of funding from Shopify.
This investment is funding its continuing expansion into European and Australian markets, while accelerating product development, focusing on its OS for wholesale. It is also hiring talent globally as it takes aim at becoming a kind of Amazon for local and indie brands that want to sell globally.
