Unwrapit is on a mission to help companies break free from the conventional thinking that surrounds corporate gift giving. Our digital gifting platform offers a way for companies to give gifts to their clients, event attendees or employees through a fully brandable and personalized gift experience, at any scale. The gifts are low/no waste and sustainably-minded, and recipients are able to choose a gift that resonates most with them.
In this role, you will work closely with Unwrapit’s other team members and initially have one direct report with the goal to build a strong Customer Success and Implementations team!
WHO WE ARE
Unwrapit is solving for the complexity & logistical challenges that come with procuring, preparing and providing gifts in a personalized way at an event, to a client or with a team. From identifying the right gifts to getting them in the hands of recipients, conventional corporate gifting is full of administrative and creative obstacles. Our product seeks to remove them.
We care deeply about people and the planet. We believe that giving gifts and making a positive impact can be one and the same. That reaching out, saying thank you, and providing an experience of a lifetime can be seamless. That receiving corporate gifts doesn't have to feel corporate at all.
Unwrapit has received support from Ontario Centres for Excellence’s SmartStart Fund, Futurpreneur, Alterna Savings, and the City of Toronto. Unwrapit is a member of the Upside Foundation of Canada, 1% for the Planet, and CSI’s Climate Ventures. The company receives advisory services from ventureLAB and has graduated from the Founders Institute. We recently certified as a B Corporation.
You would be joining an accomplished team with a track record in founding, scaling and supporting businesses.
We take pride in a participatory work culture, where learning trumps ego. Curiosity, experimentation and a human-centred approach are core to how we do meaningful work together and to how we respond to the evolving needs of our customers.
WHO YOU ARE
You are someone who is excited to be part of a rapidly growing team. You are ready, willing, and able to help make our big dreams for the future of corporate gifting, worldwide a reality. You are a proven team-leader and you genuinely enjoy mentoring and supporting colleagues with a growth mindset approach.
You will be the strategic and tactical partner for our customers at every stage of the unwrapping process.

You are able to translate our customers' needs and objectives into our platform’s capabilities and current gift options.
