Job Title: Manager, Software Engineering

Location: Remote - US
 

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Although we’re proud of our history, we’re just as excited about the future.  We want to create a world-class culture and company that attracts, develops, engages and retains elite talent.  

At Salesloft, our Engineering Managers are pivotal to our company’s success.  As an Engineering Manager, you will be a key member of our fast-growing and high-performing Engineering team working on new technologies in an environment that supports your technical and professional growth.

In addition to working with amazing colleagues who exemplify our ‘team over self’ core value, you will also have the opportunity to manage teams that create impactful and revolutionary software that is changing the way sellers sell.  You will have an opportunity to make a difference. 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking managers who exemplify our cultural core values: put customers first, team over self, glass half full, focus on results, and bias towards action, and will lead teams of engineers in our long term goals of delivering the best product to customers in the market.  We believe in servant leadership.  We empower team members to do their best while holding them to a higher standard of growth, accomplishment, and results.  

As a manager, you will have three to eight individual contributors as direct reports.  You will be responsible for conducting weekly or at least twice a month one on one meetings with your direct reports, where you provide feedback, mentor/coach them, and help them grow in their careers and competencies.  You will conduct quarterly reviews with your direct reports and provide feedback to the other managers about any of their direct reports that you have worked with.  As your team members grow, you will be the one to guide them through the promotion process and for those who are struggling, create a performance improvement plan. You will be a key part of the recruiting, hiring and onboarding process and will provide input for merit increases.

In addition to your people management responsibilities, you will be asked to assist with customer escalations.  We have a strong customer first focus so we have aggressive internal service level agreements to respond to customers quickly.  We expect managers to help drive the urgency of customer issues and for severe issues, we look to managers to support the response team.

As a member of the management team, you will be asked to support one or more department initiatives.  We are always looking for ways to improve ourselves as a management team and our department as a whole.  It is important that we create a supportive and collaborative environment where relationships matter more than “being right”.

You may also be asked to lead one or more of our development teams.  As part of that responsibility you are expected to drive a strong sense of accountability and ownership within the team as we grow and face new challenges. We look to you to execute on delivering value to customers by managing expectations, committing to timelines, and adjusting priorities in a cross-functional collaborative environment.
