Company mission
Vertice exists to fulfill two primary objectives for our enterprise customers: to save your business substantial amounts of money, and to save your key leaders substantial amounts of time.
Role
Who you are
- We find it takes a certain type of person to thrive here—low ego, doesn’t settle for the status quo, collaborative, and has strong views loosely held. For the right person, this could be the ride of a lifetime!
- You will need to thrive in ambiguity (critical), be comfortable working with minimal guidance, take initiative to identify & lead projects and believe no task is too small for you
- Experience in high-growth technology companies, bringing a solid professional grounding and understanding of scaling challenges
- Proven ability to lead teams and get the best out of functional experts, especially within People and Operations
- Experience contributing meaningfully to senior recruitment efforts, with the ability to assess and attract top talent
- Highly versatile and extremely comfortable executing – you must thrive on getting things done (this is not a role for a pure strategist)
- Data-savvy and sound commercial thinking, capable of analysing data, sorting signal from the noise, and crafting compelling presentations
- Has incisive, plain English communication
- Champions their function, but puts company first
- Balances challenge & compliance with customers & colleagues
- Builds trust & safety by caring about the people details across our teams
- Brings little ego
- Is dependable
- Is pragmatic
What the job involves
- We’re well-positioned to achieve our mission, but we need the right people to ensure that it happens—we’re looking to scale quickly but responsibly. Headquartered in London, you’ll join a global company and work across talented, passionate cross-functional teams
- We all share a goal and a mission, so we move fast, we challenge conventions, and we're fluid between departments, domains, and disciplines
- Drive operational excellence at Vertice
- You will report directly to Matt, VP Finance, and together you will identify and execute key strategic and operational initiatives for Vertice
- When you first join, this will include some People specific projects already identified, including managing the team
- Identify, lead and deliver on function specific and company-wide projects that contribute meaningfully to Vertice’s immediate and future success
- Champion and lead significant People projects (e.g., running performance cycles, partnering functional leads to define pay & progression frameworks)
- Work with the Executive team, including the Founders, to create compelling content for key audiences like investor presentations, board meetings, and all-hands
- Establish new international entities (e.g., Australia), coordinating with legal teams and communicating with employees to facilitate smooth expansions
- Attract top tier talent to the business by any means necessary, becoming the go-to sounding board for the Executive team and playing a key role in all senior hiring
- Plan and execute major company events (e.g., company offsite, new London HQ)
- Lead and empower our experienced People team (6 people in UK and Brno)
- Lead and represent Ops when Matt is unavailable, ensuring continuity & leadership
- Be a culture carrier for the broader Ops team, fostering a positive, collaborative work environment and acting as a role model for others
- This is a rewarding role in a fast-paced environment with high expectations
Application process
- If we like your experience on paper, the first step is for you to share more on a short call with Sam at jems, our hiring partner for this role. He’ll answer your questions too and figure out if there’s a mutual fit. We’ll give you feedback regardless of the outcome
- Stage 1: Discovery with Caroline and Constantin, ~30 mins each (video)
- Stage 2: Interview with Matt (VP Finance), ~60 mins (in person)
- Stage 3: Case study with Matt and up to 3 others, ~75 mins (in person)
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Vertice is an early stage startup looking to take its first strides in the SaaS procurement market. Whilst SaaS has been around for decades, the explosion of business-critical SaaS over recent years has seen corporate spend balloon, and ecosystems only get knottier. Vertice’s platform aims to help finance leaders to exercise more control over the spend, efficiency, and quality of their SaaS procurement. The solution is designed for finance, IT, and procurement teams.
Vertice’s founders are veterans of the SaaS scene, having created and ultimately successfully sold ScanSafe and Wandera over the past two decades.
With deep knowledge of the SaaS market, substantial resources, and crucial experience, the team behind this platform have the clout to compete against better-established competitors in the SaaS procurement software market. They have recently raised impressive funding, and will be focused on accelerating its global growth revenue, expanding engineering and commercial teams, and developing the platform.
