From the employer
About Us
We're living through a fundamental shift in how people discover, evaluate, and purchase products. The next generation doesn't respond to traditional marketing -- they build relationships with brands through authentic social interactions, seek recommendations from communities they trust, and expect personalized experiences that feel human, not corporate.
At Nectar, we're building the AI-native social operating system that enables this new era of commerce. We believe every social interaction should deepen the relationship between brands and their communities while creating genuine value for both sides.
Founded by ex-Meta product and engineering leaders, we've raised over $30M in total capital from investors including GV and True Ventures. We work with brands like Oura Health, Caraway, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Kosas, OLIPOP, and many more. We're building the future of social commerce -- where community, conversation, and commerce converge.

Represent Nectar at industry events, conferences, and executive meetings to build pipeline and brand awareness
What We're Looking For
5+ years of SaaS sales experience with a consistent track record of exceeding quota in enterprise environments
Experience selling into consumer brands across e-commerce, beauty, CPG, retail, or similar industries
Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles with high-value contracts
Strong executive presence and ability to engage senior stakeholders and decision-makers
