Director of Go To Market Operations, CloudFactory

Cloudfactory is one of a kind company and encourages our people to be themselves and to speak the truth in life. You can truly be yourself.

If you want to learn from intelligent people and team than you should come to Cloudfactory.

Our leadership is actually you and I ..

I can manage my workload. As long as I deliver what I have to deliver, I can work the times I prefer. Also, I can work from wherever!

I am so proud to say that I work for CloudFactory. I have always wanted to have the opportunity to combine my ethics and passion to help others with my background in business. I love having such an impact not only on my clients but also people living in the developing countries!

I have no complaints on this topic. I think compensation is fair.

The work that we do at CloudFactory is meaningful and mission driven to provide opportunities where they're not available but there's talent.

The mission of the company called to me as it exists to create meaningful work for 1 million people in developing countries! It's amazing how the company seeks talent where there are very less opportunities.

I have never had a manager who's been this supportive through my entire professional career! Catching up with what I've been doing at work and even outside work, creating a foundation for growth within the company and guiding me through it, there's just so much leadership worth following that I have experienced from my manager.

As a new and only role in the company, it means I get to re-invent the wheel and figure out the scope of my work closely with my manager. Although the company is growing and scaling fast, my workload allows me to feel challenged but not stressed out.

I have a lot of side gigs that I work on and being able to work flexibly means I can pursue the passions I have whilst still working. This means I can utilise my mornings and adjust my working hours if necessary.

Joining the company at the scale-up stage is SO great. It offers so many opportunities to improve things that have already been started, but also identify where we need to still grow and make a real difference.

I love that everything I do is tied back to our meaningful mission. This means that we're able to see the direct impact we have.

Flexible working is something that is a huge 'trend' as we come through the other side of Covid. The great thing about CloudFactory is that we were already doing it. This means that it's really 'normal' for the organisation... there's no getting used to it, or fearing that it's frowned upon... it's just accepted.

CloudFactory's mission is to connect one million people in the developing world to digital-age work, while raising them up as leaders to address poverty in their own communities. This is the reason why we exist. Our mission translates to our team culture, our values and principles. All CloudFactory's employees feel that they add value to other people's lives, and that their impact is recognised and valued.

CloudFactory is very human centric and focused on wellbeing of our employees. The company organises different wellness programs and initiatives. We have our Wellbeing Committee that gathers and writes articles on the topic of wellbeing. We send out the wellbeing newsletter every couple of weeks. Something that has surely helped my wellbeing and mental health during the pandemic has been the opportunity to work flexible working hours. What I like about the team is that it feels like a family where we encourage each other to live a healthy life style, an e.g. we have the 500 miles challenge for 2021 where we are aiming to walk for 500 miles this year. Another thing I very much appreciate is the fact we are focused on building meaningful and trustworthy relationships. We all attend Team Time called Tolis where we discuss different topics in smaller groups. Here we meet some of the team members we normally would not work closely with and we learn from each other. CloudFactory also offers a paid team lunch every second week, and gives us an opportunity to gather as a team every couple of weeks.

I love the fact we are a global company that operates across four continents. We have nine offices: one in the UK, two in the US, and six across Nepal and Kenya. I love the collaboration that takes place on daily basis, I love working with people from different backgrounds, and learning even more about different cultures every day. As an organisation, we welcome people of all backgrounds.

Having rebuilt a team in a short space of time, it's been fantastic to see people dig in and do things that are sometimes outside of their actual role and do it with pride to help the overall goal.

Working in one of the fastest growing global sectors, AI & ML we are naturally riding a real wave of market excitement, roll into that the huge customer up take we're seeing...its super exciting. Lots of chance to grow and learn.

We're a scale up business that is constantly maturing, so there is never a dull day. I love the fact you never have a day thats the same as the last.
