Our biggest challenge right now

• We are pioneers in applying data-informed methodologies to staff operations in the creative industry. As all pioneers, we hit roadblocks from time to time. We do not get discouraged, we learn and move forward.
• With 700+ people fully remote and spread across different timezones, having a high-performing team that owns and supports staff operations is critical. The staffing and capacity planning team will grow exponentially in importance as Superside scales. Nevertheless, we aim to maintain a small and lean team that builds smart decision-making engines and processes, and we need a highly capable person to do that.
