In the US, we are thrilled to already have strong sales talent based remotely in a variety of different locations. Not only do we have a great office & HQ based in Chicago, but many of the revenue leadership team are based locally. Because of this, there is always a preference for Chicago based talent. Outside of Chicago, we also prioritize sales employees to live close to their client base so New York City, San Francisco, and Atlanta are also areas of interest.

At G2, we are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment where people of every background can thrive and feel welcome. We consider applicants without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, genetic information, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, age, or marital, veteran, or physical or mental disability status.
