🎯 How Our Referral Program Works

Help us find amazing talent and earn $5,000 when your referral gets hired!

We're hiring for key roles in our Revenue (Sales and Success) and Engineering orgs and want your help finding the best candidates! Here's everything you need to know about our external referral program, and how you can help us grow Zapier (and your bank account!)

💰 Referral Bonus

$5,000 paid after your referred candidate successfully completes 90 days of employment at Zapier.

🎯 Current Open Roles

We're currently accepting referrals for our Revenue (Sales and Success) org, specifically our Account Executive, Automation Strategist, Sales Leadership/Management, and Sales Engineer (pre-sales) roles.

We find that our most successful team members bring strong experience in enterprise SaaS sales and are highly technical, particularly in using AI. We have also found that those coming from consulting backgrounds transition well into our Account Executive roles.

We're also accepting referrals for our Sr. Director, Engineering (Applied AI) role, that's a good fit for a highly strategic engineering leader that has extensive experience working with Applied AI.

Please note only the roles listed above are eligible for the $5,000 referral fee.

Must be new to Zapier - no applications or interviews in the last 12 months
