By joining this team, you'll get exposure to the whole business across Sales, Marketing, Success, Product and Tech, with significant opportunities for growth and skill development.

Essential (not negotiable)

  • Familiarity with relational databases such as SQL Server
  • A customer-focused attitude with a desire to solve user problems
  • Demonstrated growth mindset and eagerness to learn new technologies
  • Growth mindset - eager to learn new technologies and take on challenges

Preferred, but if you don't have these, you will be supported in growing these skills

  • React or Angular exposure
  • API development and integration experience
  • Unit testing knowledge (xUnit, NUnit, or similar)
  • Azure or cloud platform familiarity
  • B2B SaaS environment experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
