About Beacons
Beacons is the all-in-one platform for creators to build, grow, and monetize their businesses.

We're looking for a passionate, scrappy, and visionary sales leader to join us at this exciting stage and help scale the Beacons for Brands business line.
The Role:
We are looking for an exceptional Head of Sales, Brands to lead the growth of our brand partnerships function.
