Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with experience in technical and people leadership and with proven experience delivering high-value outcomes and strategy through solid engineering management

- Experience setting a vision and iteratively delivering progress
- Ability to mentor team members on having the highest possible impact
- Strong analytical capabilities to optimize solutions in a space with a lot of complex moving pieces, variables, and innovations

- Strong preference for experience with full-stack, consumer-facing products!
What the job involves
- The Klue team is growing, and we're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Seller Experience team

Our take
The integration of market data into the many functions of enterprise has been a consistent trend in SaaS markets for a number of years. Klue is taking a similar approach for teams looking to understand competitive landscapes.
The startup is uniquely attempting to create a new category of ‘competitive enablement software’. Whereas other software companies sought to fix a company’s business intelligence needs or content placement strategies, Klue brings all of these services together under the lens of competitive positioning.
Klue plans to find ways to reduce the burden of collecting intel and also automate insights. The company wants to introduce deeper integrations with enterprise tools like Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Gainsights.
The biggest risk facing the company is that their product is currently more enterprise friendly, supported by customer specialists. For the software company to achieve true scale, they will want to democratise access to competitive enablement with a self-serve software available to small businesses.
