About this role

Levanta is the leading affiliate marketing platform for marketplace sellers, helping Amazon, Shopify and Walmart brands unlock a scalable, cost-effective marketing channel through direct affiliate partnerships. With access to over 70,000 vetted publishers, influencers, affiliates, and media buyers in Levanta’s Creator Marketplace, sellers can drive high-quality external traffic to their stores, control commissions, improve organic search rankings, and benefit from referral kickbacks on sales generated by their affiliates.

We're looking for a hungry enterprise seller to own the full cycle of signing new retail marketplace partnerships. You'll be responsible for sourcing, developing, and closing multi-year platform deals with major retailers. This is a high-visibility role working directly with the founders, with a clear path to building and leading a team as the pipeline scales.

This role is focused exclusively on new logo acquisition. The ideal candidate thrives in the earliest stages of a deal cycle and has a track record of opening doors and closing business in markets where you're building awareness from the ground up.

What You'll Do:

• Own the full sales cycle from outbound prospecting through signed contract on new retail marketplace partnerships

• Work a mix of self-sourced pipeline and warm opportunities already in motion

• Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals across marketplace, affiliate/creator, and retail media teams at major retailers

• Develop a repeatable outbound motion targeting retail marketplace and ecommerce leadership

• Represent Levanta at industry conferences and events

• Partner with founders on deal structure, negotiation strategy, and commercial terms

• Feed market intelligence back into product and GTM strategy

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of enterprise SaaS sales with demonstrated ability to close complex, multi-stakeholder deals

• Background in retail media, marketplace technology, or ecommerce SaaS strongly preferred

• Experience in affiliate or creator marketing is a plus

• Comfortable selling to VP and C-suite buyers across business units

• Outbound hunter mentality with the patience and polish to work long-cycle enterprise deals

• Strong commercial instincts, you can build a business case, negotiate terms, and know when to push

• Startup-ready: you build the playbook, you don't wait for one

A note about comp:

• Competitive base with significant commission upside tied to closed marketplace partnerships. This is a role where top performers have outsized and uncapped commission upside.

What Levanta Offers:

• A dynamic and supportive work environment where innovation and creativity are encouraged.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Open vacation and sick policy, take the time you need.

• Opportunity for professional growth and advancement within a rapidly expanding startup.
