Account Executive
pulsd is on a mission to democratize fun in New York City.
For the past several years, pulsd has been unlocking the magic of New York City. We have completely reimagined how 300,000 New Yorkers discover and experience the most memorable moments of their lives. And we empower incredible local merchants and artisans.
Our team of entrepreneurial, enthusiastic and client focused members is small but mighty. We have never raised any capital, have been profitable since inception and were growing revenues aggressively….. until the pandemic struck into the core of the business.
As we continue our recovery, we are looking for an Account Executive to join the team. The Account Executive will be joining a small team of highly-skilled professionals whose focus is on engaging New York City restaurants, event producers, spas, & fitness studios - then subsequently persuading them to incorporate pulsd into their growth plans. You will be joining the dedicated team behind pulsd’s continued growth - in order to take us to the next level.
We are built by New Yorkers for New Yorkers. Our office is located in the Prince Building, in the heart of SoHo, with sweeping views of The World Trade Center and other New York City landmarks. Current partners include hundreds of local businesses, all the way up to mega brands such as Tao Group, Union Square Hospitality, Peloton, Skin Spa, The Bowery Hotel and many more.
We were recently praised by the New York Times for continuing to operate 24/7 through the pandemic to help support local businesses while other corporate partners abandoned them:
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a long term view who sees opportunity in the correction New York City is experiencing right now and who agrees with Jerry Seinfeld’s opinion on Manhattan being the greatest place on earth:
“ When I got my first apartment in Manhattan in the hot summer of 1976, there was no pooper-scooper law, and the streets were covered in dog crap.
I signed the rental agreement, walked outside, and my car had been towed. I still thought, “This is the greatest place I’ve ever been in my life.” “
If you are driven, love what the city has to offer and make a positive impact on the lives of others, this position is for you. Together, we will continue to make living in New York City even better.
