Topguest is an early-stage startup developing social loyalty solutions for the largest global loyalty programs in the world including Hilton HHonors, Priority Club and Virgin America Elevate. The consumer brand, Topguest.com, gives social travelers premier perks from top rewards programs. For loyalty program customers, the company provides a one-touch link between loyalty member databases and all the mobile-social services that matter, from Instagram to Facebook.

  • You’re a servant leader.
  • Detail orientated and exceptionally organized.
  • Past sales and/or business development experience, ideally in an early-stage startup environment (but not necessarily).
