Account Executive, trumpet

As trumpet is a relatively young company, we are all working together, pushing to create this new and exciting product. This is of course challenging and every day is different, but in the best kind of way!

There are huge levels of trust here, and where's there is trust, there is flexibility. Though hybrid working in very common now, knowing that we have control of our own working hours and lunch breaks etc, I feel more compelled to work harder and better - make the most of my days!

We are building something really special! We may be young but what a time to be alive, the product is so game-changing already. It's truly going to change the future of end-to-end sales experiences (and perhaps the future of a lot more too...).

The reason our product IS so good is because everyone here loves what they do and you can see the results of this in our work. Everyone pulls together all the time - and if you need help from a colleague you will absolutely get it, no questions asked.

We have meetings weekly where the whole team can reflect and pitch new ideas. Everyone's feedback is taken into consideration - no matter how small. We also have weekly 1-2-1s as a change for everyone to air out anything they have on their mind.

No matter how small, we will always shout out and celebrate work, doesn't even have to be great work! The smallest change/input can lead to such a positive impact so we will always make sure the team know how grateful their contribution is.

The team at trumpet work extremely hard but do it in a way that is supportive, collaborative, and feedback driven. Although they all work hard they make sure to continuously check in with each other, and the hard work comes from a place of loving the work that we do - not from management forcing it down.

As we are still in the early stages of our mission this gives ample opportunity to get involved with challenging work - whether this be implementing a new tool, process or figuring out a problem we're having. No two days are the same at trumpet and we're all empowered to have autonomy to suggest a better way of doing things and to get involved in tasks that aren't necessarily in our immediate remit - even if it it something that interests us or something we would like to learn more about.

People make trumpet. We have such a great rapport / laugh with each other and really lift each other up to bring out our best. We have daily standups, weekly retros, and in-person/virtual socials regularly. Outside of that we're consistently in touch via slack and regularly share our work with each other for useful feedback.

At Trumpet, your wellbeing is taken seriously, you're encouraged to report and take time off when sick or when necessary. You are also encouraged to make good use of your weekends and not spend it all on work, working late also isn't encouraged. Trumpet was the first workplace I've ever had to take a leave or file for an absence without feeling guilty or scrutinised for it.

At Trumpet, everyone wants you to succeed. There's a lot of opportunity to own your work while still getting all the help you need to accomplish that. We celebrate great work with our #weeklywins shout-out and everyone is appreciative.

Trumpet has clear values and everyone is so helpful. The onboarding is thoughtful and there's so much clarity around the work you're expected to do. Also, while the work quite challenging and meaningful, great work is not left unrecognised. Amazing team

So far, the projects I've worked on have been challenging - but equally as rewarding, as they directly benefit the platform and its users. With that, I'm exposed to all elements of the platform, such as frontend code, ui design, architecture, etc.

The company culture here is second to none, but what makes this really stick is that my opinions are valued. Whether it be code related, ui/ux design, or what we have for lunch as a team, it's great to have your voice heard in such a fast paced environment.

At trumpet we celebrate all wins, whether it has benefited the platform directly or has been a learning experience which we have used to better our processes. So far I've seen work privately celebrated in our Slack channels, but also publicly on LinkedIn.

At trumpet, we're a brand new, small team that's growing fast! Its a perfect time to join the company, you'll get to be involved from the ground up, with your opinions and ideas forming the product. It's also a great opportunity to progress in your career with chances to lead and take ownership of different aspects of the development lifecycle.

At trumpet, all our team members feel valued and their opinions really matter. The company is very transparent with how they work, starting right from the interview process!

After going public with trumpet, the company has generated a huge amount of interest and looks to have an exciting few years ahead!
