• Map the Onboarding Journey: You will map the entire experience for a new salesperson, from the day they accept their offer to the day they are fully productive, identifying inefficiencies and proposing ways to help them succeed faster.


• Build and Maintain Our Playbook: You’ll become a process expert by creating and maintaining clear documentation for our hiring and onboarding workflows, ensuring everyone is aligned.


• Launch New Tools and Dashboards: You will assist in rolling out new tools to support our sales team and help build reporting dashboards to track key metrics like hiring health and time-to-productivity.

• You're organized and love a good plan: You have some exposure to project management, whether through university projects, a past internship, or extracurricular activities.


• You're a strong communicator: You can express your ideas clearly in writing and in person and are comfortable collaborating with stakeholders across different teams


• You have a 'get it done' attitude: You are proactive, reliable, and have a bias for action. You are comfortable with change and can manage several initiatives at once.


• You're curious about sales and data: You have an interest in sales processes and are not afraid to look at data to find trends and answers. Bonus points if you have any familiarity with Salesforce or data analysis.
