Here Are a Few Key Points (relevant To The Go-to-market Side) That Should Give You An Idea Of What It Is Like To Work With Us
We spend a lot of time building best-in-class products since we believe a highly differentiated product is easier to sell. We aim to offer deep product expertise whenever we interact with prospects and customers. AEs are no exception to this. We strongly believe that small teams with very talented people (and the right work environment) deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount. We hire and compensate accordingly. We value a strong sense of ownership, principled thinking over experience, and thoughtful communication.
Our interview process is designed so you can showcase your achievements and points of learning and apply those in a practical exercise. We'll provide you with Mid Market Account Executive info so you can develop a well informed perspective on our customer / sales motion. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions of our team throughout.
Intro Call (30 min) - You'll meet with a Recruiter to discuss your fit for the role and address questions about our market and solution. Written Exercise - You'll complete a short take home assignment to showcase your outbound muscle. Experience Deep Dive (60 min) - You'll walk the Hiring Manager [Casper Bergmans] through your career journey in some detail to highlight your experience, achievements, and points of learning to understand how you've developed into the professional you are today. Challenge Interview (90 min) - This will be made up of two parts: Discovery and Demo Role Play (60 min) Deal Strategy Discussion (30 min)
Sell a product that our customers are truly excited about. Fairly set, achievable quotas. Typically, greater than 65% of AEs are at or above quota. Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive! 10-year exercise window for stock options.

Extended health benefits for you and your dependents (subject to availability with our Employer of Record)
We're in the talent acquisition software business. We run the end-to-end hiring process through our own platform, and ensure a level playing field for all candidates. Reaching out to hiring managers or recruiters directly won't improve your odds of success. Please focus your energy on the quality of your application.
