We don’t believe in adding 10 requirements just to fill a job posting. We keep the list short and only mention what will be necessary for you to perform in this role. If you don’t fit these criterias but decide to apply anyway, make sure you let us know why in the questionnaire you’ll receive later on.

• A solid first sales experience, preferably selling B2B software

More on the salary

We decided to share the salary associated with this job posting publicly because pay transparency is at the core of Unito and has a tremendous impact on workplace equity.

Two things to note before we get to the numbers:

• We have fully transparent and data-backed salaries. Which means pay is an open and fair discussion at Unito. Read more on exactly what that means here.
• If your salary expectations are higher than the range indicated below, it’s probably because you’re more senior than what we initially targeted. We’re always willing to hire someone more senior if they’re the right fit, and we will always pay our staff fairly. So you should still apply if this role and company are what you’re looking for.

The range:

• Our ideal seniority level: intermediate (level 1.5 to 2.5 in our leveling system)
• The corresponding salary range:
  • Level 1.5: Base salary of $56,318 + $28,159 in variable*
  • Level 2.5: Base salary of $71,329 + $35,664 in variable*

*commissions are uncapped

More on Unito

Describing everything we are and do in a short paragraph is really tough! So we spent some time designing a great career page that highlights what it’s like to work at Unito. Check it out if you’d like to learn more!

If you’d rather not go down a rabbit hole just yet, here are the main things we believe make Unito different from your run-of-the-mill startup:

• We REALLY care about company culture. Everyone describes the team as a strong community with a real sense of belonging and caring.
• We pay our employees fairly and transparently. All employee and executive salaries are public, along with how we came up with the numbers
• Our product is all about optimizing team collaboration, and that’s something we practice constantly internally.
• We still have an office and don’t intend to give it up because we believe in-person interactions foster creativity and reinforce that sense of community that makes us who we are.

​​Get paid for a trial run!

Our hiring process is a two-way street. After you go through an initial phone screen and interview, you’ll get a chance to work on a paid pilot project to see if Unito’s a good fit for you. It’s your chance to show us how you work and our chance to show you why Unito is a great place to do it.

• Work with the team: You'll be working on a real project that Unito needs to get done, not a standardized test. You also get to collaborate with your potential team.
• Get paid: We are not going to waste your time. You get paid for the work you put in, even if we don't end up hiring you.

Unito is committed to equal employment opportunity for all employees and to providing its team members with a healthy (equitable, fair, unbiased) work environment. We highly value diversity in all aspects.
