Upward | Yext Rotational Program
The ultimate source for official answers about a business online should be the business itself. However, when consumers ask questions on company websites, too often they are left in the dark with wrong answers. Yext (NYSE: YEXT), the Search Experience Cloud, solves this problem by organizing a business's facts so it can provide official answers to consumer questions — wherever people search. Starting with the company website, then extending across search engines and voice assistants, businesses around the world, like Taco Bell, Marriott, and Jaguar Land Rover—as well as organizations like the U.S. State Department—trust Yext to radically improve the search experience on their websites and across the entire search ecosystem.
At Yext, we believe that the ability to learn is not fixed, and that isn’t only ingrained in our business model, but also with our employees. That is why we built the Upward Rotational Program — a program crafted to accelerate employee development through exposure to multiple facets of the business. We are actively looking for professionals with 1+ years of experience post-graduation to join Yext and help pioneer our sixth class starting in July 2021!
Throughout this 18-month program, you will rotate every six months through participating teams such as Marketing, Product Strategy, Revenue, and Technology. Each rotation is designed to flex different skills and will challenge you to think outside of the box in order to achieve success. After completion of the program, you will not only walk away with a foundational understanding of the Yext platform and a resume chock-full of hands-on experience, but also a chance to interview for a full-time placement at Yext.
