About First Advantage
First Advantage's sales team is built in two halves: one wins an employer's screening business, the other keeps that base revenue and pushes more of the product line through the account. New-logo hunters are split by size and vertical, with commercial sales executives (one dedicated to state and local government and higher education), an enterprise sales executive for large, complex organizations and mid-market executives in the US and São Paulo, plus a key sales executive who owns a set of strategic healthcare accounts. Once signed, accounts move to customer success partners, consultative sellers who renew, upsell and cross-sell more checks into a small or mid-sized book of named enterprise accounts, under a VP of Customer Success and a senior director for the technology vertical. Its sales-titled openings include US remote roles, including a VP of Sales who runs forecasting, quota setting and sales programs, revenue operations hires (one administers sales compensation) and a customer success data analyst; the customer success analyst and associate titles sampled in Zhuhai and the Philippines are background-check processing jobs rather than selling ones.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
