Company mission
To orchestrate the full supplier lifecycle - transforming procurement, third-party risk management, and spend control.
Role
Who you are
- You have 3-5y work experience in high-growth tech companies from 30-200 people or similar high-paced, ambiguous environments
- You’re entrepreneurial and want to be part of building a business. You want to rise faster than would be possible in any ‘normal’ career and you’re happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever’s required. FYI, we've signed up to the Future Founder Promise
- You’ve got a track record of exceptional performance, whether it’s in academia, work, sport, a sales team, or whatever else you’ve put your mind to
- You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, written, and when presenting. You’re exceptionally articulate, concise and clear in all forms of communication and have the ability to build rapport, influence people & drive change, whether it’s with a distinguished exec, technical expert or a junior operator
- You’re intelligent and have the capacity to rapidly understand our product inside and out. You can simplify complex problems and translate them into next steps, product configuration or new feature requests
- You’re outcomes-focused, and balance the ability to think strategically with a heavy bias to action, always focused on “so what’s the next step?”
- You are proactive & crave accountability, proactively pushing initiatives forward and making the best use of the resources available to you
- You’re able to ruthlessly prioritise, are highly organised and focused on outputs > inputs. You are efficient & autonomous and don’t compromise on quality
- You’re ambitious, competitive, and care lots about your career. You are probably happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems/winning deals. You know this requires dedication & some sacrifice but you think it’s worth it
- You’re just a really good human. You’re empathetic and reliable. You build trust with people you work with and are highly collaborative. You have minimal ego, seek feedback to continuously hone your craft and try to bring out the best in everyone around you
What the job involves
- This role will be 25% planning & 75% execution and involves being personally accountable for some of these key initiatives:
- Hiring & People Ops:
- Hiring — work with our BizOps Director & CCO to execute on our ambitious hiring plans for the commercial team: sourcing exceptional candidates across the UK and US, running outreach campaigns and managing interview processes ensuring strong engagement with candidates
- Building our employer brand — help us work out how to attract the best talent, whether that’s ideas around blog posts (and helping to write them!), or participating in relevant communities & events
- Positioning:
- Research — support our CEO on strategic positioning projects: research key markets and its dynamics, conduct user interviews and consolidate all insights in a succinct format to enable product roadmap decision-making
- Sales Ops:
- Sales Ops — support our sales ops function: define and set up our monthly sales reporting, manage the GTM tech stack (Hubspot hygiene, identifying PG hacks, etc.), and create sales enablement collateral to make our team as successful as possible
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
