As an added bonus, it would be incredible if you had:

• Experience selling in research, design, or customer experience product categories.

At Dovetail, we’re passionate about building and fostering an environment where every team member feels supported and valued. We celebrate individualism, welcoming everyone to show up as their authentic selves every day. It’s no secret that diversity builds the best teams, large or small, so we highly encourage applications from people who identify as part of an under-represented group.

Compensation Range: $144,000-$162,000 base salary. Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role is eligible for incentive compensation, equity and benefits.

• Work from Anywhere. Although we’re in-office, you can work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per year to accommodate life.
• Extra paid days off. Enjoy ad-hoc KitKat days to take a step back and spend it however you like. Hit the beach, spend time with your family, pick up that hobby you’ve been meaning to try, or anything in between!
• Develop and grow. Take a course, attend a lunch and learn, or head to a conference. We love to support you any way we can, so expect Dovetail to be your #1 fan when it comes to achieving your career goals.
