TL;DR — In 30 seconds
In a small team, what you do really matters: ideas are discussed immediately, and improvements don't wait for half a year.
Giffy is growing fast — new propositions, continuously new partners and clients.
The work is diverse: on Monday, 20 gift cards for a small business; on Wednesday, redesigning a complete rewards strategy.
At a fast-growing company, people who want to build, not just execute, are the most valuable.
I work in sales at Giffy, and my name is Joy. People ask me what it's like to work at a fast-growing company. This is what makes it different for me.
💡 Why Giffy is writing this
Giffy builds gift card infrastructure for businesses. We believe in a transparent chain — from issuer to recipient. Behind that platform are people; this is what it's like to work in sales here.
What you do matters
At Giffy, we work with a small team. That means that what I do really matters, in practice. If I have an idea, I can discuss it immediately. If something can be done better in how we approach things, I don't have to wait half a year for it. That feels different from a large organisation where you sometimes feel like a small cog in something that was already in motion long before you got there.
In the midst of growth
Giffy is growing fast, and you can notice it in everything. We work on new propositions, onboard new partners and clients continuously, and come up with ways to give clients even more value. I love being right in the middle of that — not just to execute it, but also to think along about how it can be improved and where opportunities lie that we aren't seizing yet.
Diverse work that keeps you sharp
What I didn't expect when I started is how broad and diverse the work is. On Monday, I speak with a small business that wants to place an order for the first time, maybe 20 gift cards for their team. On Wednesday, I'm sitting down with an organisation that wants to redesign its entire rewards strategy and wants us as a partner to think along with them. Those two conversations both require something different from me, and that's exactly what I like. It keeps me sharp.
I think that at a fast-growing company, people who don't just want to execute, but also want to build, are the most valuable. People who feel comfortable when something isn't completely finished yet, because then there is room to make it better. That suits me, and that suits how Giffy works.
