Company mission
To bridge the gap between restaurants and customers in meaningful and ongoing ways.
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience in a closing role, preferably in B2B SaaS or a hospitality-adjacent industry (e.g., POS, loyalty, guest experience platforms)
- Strong track record of exceeding quota and successfully navigating longer or more complex sales cycles
- Deep understanding of the hospitality industry in LA, with a network of local operators or partners
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a builder’s mindset and high level of ownership
What the job involves
- At Blackbird, we believe every guest should feel like a VIP the moment they walk into a restaurant. Whether it’s last-minute tables, welcome drinks, off-menu items, or exclusive perks, we’re building a platform that helps restaurants identify, connect with, and reward their guests in meaningful and personalized ways
- Our vision? The more you check in at your favorite spots, the more you unlock—from unique rewards to seamless direct messaging for reservations. With each visit, you’ll earn $FLY, our universal rewards currency, which you can use across our network of outstanding restaurants
- Blackbird is looking for a foundational Account Executive to join our growing team in Los Angeles. This is a unique opportunity to join at a pivotal moment as one of our first sales hires in LA and help shape our presence in a key market.
- We're looking for a senior individual contributor who brings deep sales expertise, can navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals, and is excited to help build a category-defining product from the ground up
- This is a field sales opportunity. Candidates must live local to Los Angeles, relocation not provided
- You’ll play a key role in shaping our GTM playbook and influencing product direction through close customer feedback
- Identify and source qualified leads to bring the best restaurants in the world onto the Blackbird platform
- Develop and own a creative and effective sales process end to end
- Own a portfolio of local restaurants and gain a deep understanding of their pain points, growth drivers, and opportunities for better partnership
- Drive new restaurant growth on the Blackbird platform through a best-in-class sales experience
- You’ll be one of our first hires in Los Angeles, helping establish our footprint in a critical and influential market
Our take
Reward and customer loyalty programs are a brilliant way to incentivise repeat customers for hospitality venues, with the majority of diners likely to spend more at a restaurant if it offers some sort of reward scheme. Blackbird is an app designed to foster the relationship between businesses and their customers with access to rewards and perks.
Alongside rewards, Blackbird's Web 3.0 platform supports membership options for consumers, and analytics for restaurants to know their best customers and understand their preferences such as where they like to sit. It has also partnered with Privy to embed a wallet within the app, whilst 2023 funding is helping the company build out new projects including a referral program and a payments and rewards platform.
