Say hello to Kimberly, an Emerging Enterprise Account Director on our Enterprise Sales team. Kimberly’s Yelp journey began nine years ago as an Account Executive on our Local Sales team. Nearly a decade ago, Kimberly decided that she wanted to pursue a career path toward a role in Enterprise Sales ⭐Take a look as she shares her #FiveStarCareer story and how #remotework has impacted her career goals ⬇️ “In the last nine years, I have held several roles, from Franchise to Midmarket Sales. I have always done well in all of my roles, but I cracked the ceiling when we transitioned to remote work. I have been so much happier since going remote because I feel like I can be a full-time mom and full-time employee without having to sacrifice time from either. It led me to my current role, Emerging Enterprise Account Director, which I have worked toward for nine years.” Learn more about Kimberly’s journey on our blog.
“What I like most about working at Yelp is how much the company cares about its people. Some companies are forcing their staff to return to their offices while Yelp took the time to listen to its staff and also evaluate the benefits of working remotely. It’s awesome to see our company fully embrace #remotework.” Taylor is an IT Manager on our End User Support Engineering team, and he recently celebrated his 8th Yelpiversary! Over the last eight years, he has seen the way we work evolve from an in-office culture to a world of remote work, but he says one thing has remained the same - our dedication to the well-being and career growth of our people ❤️ Learn more about Taylor’s #FiveStarCareer story on our blog.
“As I look back at my past two years at Yelp, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride. It’s been a ride filled with learning, challenges, and lots of memorable moments.

At Yelp, we are reimagining a culture of work designed for life. For Luis, a Senior Elite Strategic Client Director 4, that means counting on support and encouragement from his manager when it comes to maintaining a healthy balance between his professional and personal lives. “Yelp supports my work-life balance in so many ways – from our PTO and benefits to the prioritization of wellness. My manager always reminds us that our job is doable in 40 hours and that we do not need to work more than that or overstress to be successful. We also get to do our jobs from the comfort of our homes, which is also awesome.” Check out Luis’ #FiveStarCareer story on our blog.
Connections are the heartbeat of our global community. One of the best parts of our #remotework model is the opportunity to meet, work alongside, and connect with folks who you probably wouldn’t have had a chance to otherwise!

So when a position on the Sales Enablement team opened in 2021, she was eager to begin training and working with the newest Yelp employees. Find out more about Alexandra’s story on our blog.

“I love building long-term relationships with Yelp users. I see my role as a cheerleader of sorts, encouraging our users to give their best when supporting local businesses. I’ve watched reviewers grow as writers, and I’ve seen self-ascribed homebodies become more social and explore their communities more. It’s very rewarding to play a role in someone’s personal development and to be an ongoing source of encouragement for them.” – Nico B, Online Community Ambassador Wondering what #LifeAtYelp looks like on our Community team?

At Yelp, we reimagine a culture of work designed for life. Remote work gives our team members autonomy to promote productivity and the flexibility to build a rewarding career while enjoying their enriching lives outside of work. “Yelp’s decision to transition to a remote-first environment supports my work-life balance, and I know that I have been successful because of this policy. Working remotely has given me so much more control over my time and has allowed me to be more productive. I’ve used that extra time saved from commuting to be more connected with the people, hobbies, and interests I love outside of work.” - Saied, Manager, Enterprise Sales Learn about Saied’s journey to sales and why he loves #remotework at Yelp on our blog.
