Compensation Overview

In this role, you will be the first PM growing theAssistproduct and business, wearing many hats and acting as the primary business driver and partner with the rest of Assembled. Assist already has strong early traction and great impact for customers, but the market is moving quickly and there is a ton of opportunity and work to grow it into what’s possible.

With our current large and growing customer base of the world’s leading brands, Assist has the potential to reshape and elevate the nature of the support job for companies around the world.

As the PM for Assist, you’ll join a tight, early-stage product team co-located in San Francisco. You’ll partner closely with Assembled’s co-founder and CTO and a small and nimble team. You’ll also be the primary point of contact and driver for how Assist collaborates with and contributes to the rest of the company – including Marketing, Sales, and Success – as Assist completes the transition from lab project built by an entirely independent team to being part of the bigger Assembled suite (leveraging and contributing to a greater whole). You’ll wear many hats at this stage and do whatever it takes to make customers and the team successful, from leading deployments to charting out the future. Look forward to meeting daily with managers, execs, and support agents at brands you know and love to rapidly iterate on how we position, package, deploy, and drive adoption of Assist. This will all inform your roadmap and strategy for both Assist and how it acts as a multiplier on the value of Assembled as a whole. Expect both the job and product to grow and evolve rapidly in the coming months.
