- The Revenue organization spans Sales, Customer Success, pre- and post-sales, Partnerships, and international markets

- Manage domestic and international travel, bookings, logistics, expenses, approvals, and last-minute changes
- Plan and coordinate Revenue leadership offsites, including quarterly gatherings, and other executive events; attend select events in person
- Coordinate scheduling and logistics for the CRO’s participation in Revenue leadership meetings and other recurring forums in partnership with the Chief of Staff and Revenue Operations
- Provide administrative support to the global Partnerships leader and, as the organization grows, other senior Revenue leaders
- Coordinate meetings with customers, partners, executives, and other strategic stakeholders
- Build strong relationships across Revenue, Finance, People, Legal, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other cross-functional teams while maintaining systems that improve visibility and follow-through
- Handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality and support administrative follow-through for select executive priorities and events
Our take
Feature flags are a powerful software development tool, allowing teams to modify system behavior without changing code, therefore minimizing risk. If a business has a new feature they want to test, they can then roll it out to a small set of users before letting it go live. These companies can, for example, get quick feedback on the new feature and fix any bugs, or roll back any changes.
LaunchDarkly allows companies to run tests like this by activating the new code for only a small set of users prior to launch. Typically running these tests requires lots of developer time - a daunting and expensive prospect for most rapidly growing businesses - and can risk disruption to the user experience if testing takes place on the live product.
Demonstrating its value to businesses, the platform is used by the likes of IBM, Intuit and Atlassian. Recently it has seemed to focus on further scaling its growth as it develops towards being a leading business in the feature management space.
