mate. is your AI growth teammate, the eCommerce data network that agentically turns customer intelligence into revenue.

mate finds it, Checkmate goes and gets it. Checkmate is the distribution network, with 100M+ shoppers and 12B+ live intent signals. mate is the AI layer built on top of it: it resolves anonymous visitors, spots the revenue a brand is missing, and builds and executes the campaigns to capture it. Marketers just hit approve.

mate runs six agents for brands:

Mate Intelligence: a customer dashboard and AI chatbot that surfaces the revenue a brand is missingEnrichment: identity resolution that reveals and resolves anonymous visitorsGrowth: AI-built, single-use offers delivered across our network and a brand's own channels, priced on performance, with no retainers and no lock-inSocial Activation: enriches social handles into full shopper profilesLLM Visibility: tracks and grows how a brand shows up in AI search and assistantsCode Leakage: finds leaked discount codes and replaces them with single-use ones

The combination is rare: a consumer product shoppers love and an AI growth engine brands depend on.

We work with leading brands like Everlane, Brooklinen, and Malbon, and we're backed by Google Ventures, Mantis VS, Fuel Capital, and others.

We're a remote-first team with hubs in LA and NYC, and a preference for hiring in or near major cities.

The Role 💼

As a Sr AE, you'll own a full-cycle quota selling Mate into high-growth brands across apparel, beauty, home, and consumer goods, and consumer services, typically $15M to $1200M+ in GMV. This is a high-velocity sale: most deals close in two to three calls over a few weeks. You'll source your own pipeline, run the demo, build an ROI case, and close. Our pitch is focused on positioning Mate as a growth channel for brands, not selling a long enterprise contract.

If you've sold a performance, martech, or media product into consumer brands and like the pace of a short, outbound-driven cycle, this will feel like home.

What You'll Do ⚡

Build your own pipeline through outbound, agency partners, events, and your own networkRun discovery and demos, and build ROI cases around the incremental revenue Checkmate can driveMove deals to close in a handful of calls, usually with a VP of Growth, ecommerce lead, or founderCarry and hit a GMV-based quota, closing at volumeSell the full product line and adapt and help shape the pitch as we launch new productsSupport onboarding and identify expansion opportunities based on performance dataKeep pipeline and forecasts clean in HubSpotContribute product feedback based on real customer needs and market gapsHelp refine our GTM strategy as we scale into new verticals and use cases
