Promenade is a platform that helps independent business owners thrive in the world of e-commerce. We've built an entire eco-system that helps empower local shops and levels the playing field against the large online brokers.

We own and operate three distinct brands - BloomNation, Dig-In and Swigg - each providing unique tools and services to the industries they service.

Our mission is to empower these small businesses with the tool to gain and keep online customers. Promenade functions as an incubator for top talent in Silicon Beach, and we are now expanding our team both in Santa Monica as well as in various markets across the U.S. Employees come to Promenade seeking change and an opportunity to kickstart their career in Tech & Entrepreneurship.

The Promenade sales team is scaling rapidly! We are looking for competitive, coachable, and incredibly tenacious sales executives who are not only true sales professionals, but who can bring unique value to our rapidly growing team.
