About the Company

The first is a sales performance platform designed to help high-ticket sales representatives within businesses generating approximately $500K–$50M in annual revenue close more deals by identifying and replicating the systems, behaviors, and strategies of top performers.
The second is a career technology platform designed to help job seekers navigate the hiring process more effectively through resume-building tools, interview preparation, and automated job applications.
Both products are focused on using technology to improve measurable outcomes for their users and are looking for a growth professional who can understand each audience, build the appropriate customer journey, and drive acquisition from initial impression through conversion.
