We Work Remotely
Hi, we're Shake πŸ‘‹ We're on a mission to help companies grow with online reviews, whether 1st party (on their business) or 3rd party (on other businesses). We leverage big data to enable workflows that have never been seen before, with a software as a service approach in Reviewshake and data as a service approach in Datashake.

We're an established high-growth business with thousands of paying customers and a team of 20+, and are searching for a Sales Manager (Remote) that can help us get the company to the next stage. You're a proactive, sharp and self-motivated individual who is eager to learn and take ownership across our products. You love communicating and working with others in your team towards success, taking us from where we are now to where we want to be!

Being bootstrapped (not venture-backed) and fully remote, we don’t strive for growth at all costs, and are building a company that we can be proud of, and enjoy working for.
