Meet Upside:

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.

  • Identify and close expansion opportunities and long-term agreement conversions

  • Predict and address concerns before they lead to churn risk

  • Lead monthly account reviews with retailer partners, interpreting raw account data to build performance reports, case studies, and white papers

  • Maintain account health at multiple levels across client businesses, including senior executives of mid-market and enterprise accounts

  • Collaborate with internal Upside teams, including analytics, product, marketing, and operations, to provide a positive experience for our retailers

Competencies You’ll Need:

  • Strong analytical skills that will translate analysis into relatable and compelling talking points and stories

  • Project-management abilities, including timeline management, client communication, and report interpretation

  • Creative problem solving skills with the ability to diagnose issues while coming up with an array of potential solutions to bring to retails

  • Experience working with the grocery industry or a two-sided marketplace is a major plus

  • Ability to travel up to 20%
