Our MM strategy is focused on acquiring and growing early adopters who have 1M to 10M monthly active users (MAUs) and the capacity to make decisions quickly (3 months or less).

Our Mission

Nift’s mission is to reshape how people discover and try new brands by introducing them to  products and services through thoughtful "thank-you" gifts delivered via consumer engagement partners. Our customer-first approach ensures businesses acquire new customers efficiently while making consumers feel valued and rewarded. We are a data-driven, cash-flow-positive company that has experienced 731% growth over the last three years. Now, we’re scaling to become one of the largest sources for new customer acquisition worldwide.

  • A track record of self-sourcing, managing, and closing a high volume of concurrent opportunities efficiently in short (under 3-month) sales cycles 
  • Energetic, self-motivated, and resourceful, with strong outreach discipline and a proactive approach to problem solving  

What you get:

  • Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits (401(k) with 4% match, Medical/Dental/Vision), and we offer full-time employees the potential to hold company equity
