- Building relationships & trust: working closely and collaboratively with subscribers of all personality-types, from a broad range of industries, to understand their business needs and ensure they get maximum value from our platform
- Hitting Targets: working towards (and hopefully exceeding) commission-based renewal & client retention targets, and significantly growing your book through cross-selling & up-selling
- Training & mentoring: supporting junior team members in a line management capacity to help them grow, develop their skills & exceed targets
- Contributing to strategy : helping with long term team & business strategy: constantly working to improve our processes & communicating user feedback to drive our product forward

- A natural people-person : a great listener, emotionally intelligent, and great at getting to know all different personalities.

Like most companies, we’ve been umm-ing and ahh-ing about this for months, trying to work out what the perfect balance between in-office and remote working should look like for us. And we’ll be totally upfront with you – it’s really hard! We don’t yet know what exactly our policy on this should look like long term. But we’re keen to share our current thinking and some of the things that (we think) we know for sure. We’d also love to chat to you more about this in the course of the interview process so please do ask us questions!
And what are we doing at the moment?
- We’re currently running a tria l where we’re asking everyone to spend at least 60% of each month in an office (London or Nottingham)
- We’ll be reviewing how this is going in November/December and again at the end of the trial – we'll take into account how everyone in the company is finding it, how managers think it's going, as well as considering it from the "company perspective"
