Our team

Your future fellow team members currently live in Birmingham, Chicago, Los Angeles, and along the Gulf Coast. The Birmingham group periodically works out of the HQ building when the flow is right, but also works digitally first along with much of our company. In a nutshell, we want the best talent located wherever they happen to be. We can usually catch each other for quick Slack pings or Zoom calls from roughly the core hours of 9 am to 3 pm Central. We rely heavily on asynchronous communication through Asana, our company-wide project management system.

From a systems standpoint, we use a lot of them. We rely on the saying: “a great solution today can become a problem tomorrow.” We are constantly thinking about if processes or systems will scale. If we can get a few years from a system before we need to replace it, then we’ll implement it. We rely heavily on automated integrations between our systems so we can keep manual work down.

Requirements

Experience with a B2B SaaS that has scaled well from $50M+ ARR. We need someone who understands how a modern software company servicing thousands of organizations worldwide should operate at scale.
6+ years of professional experience, with 3+ years in a deal desk function, including complex enterprise deal experience.
Prefer experience with Ironclad (or other enterprise CLM).
