About UpMetrics

At UpMetrics, we're building a world where impact organizations have the knowledge, tools, and connections to achieve their missions. Our mission is to help organizations accelerate impact through innovative technology and community, connecting funders and mission-driven organizations with the capital, insights, and relationships they need to succeed.

To deliver on this mission, we provide an impact reporting platform in combination with expert services. Together, these products empower organizations to collect, analyze, and learn from their data—gaining insights and sharing their stories to inspire change.

We are looking for a driven, relationship-oriented professional to own the full sales cycle, from first outreach to signed contract, across impact investors, grantmakers and nonprofits. As Director, you will generate and qualify pipeline and guide prospects through to close.

This role works across our Outreach, Community, Client Success, and Product teams to ensure that the solutions we build meet the needs of our market and are effectively delivered to our clients.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and underrepresented individuals only apply when they meet 100% of them. We believe that people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ+ people must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities, or who are members of other marginalized communities. If you think you have what it takes, possess transferable skills, are quick to learn, but don’t necessarily satisfy every requirement or meet every qualification, we would still love to hear from you!
