An Insider's view of Skilljar

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Work-life balance is one of the most important considerations today, Skilljar provides you with autonomy to work as you please. Whether that means I get to work East Coast or West Coast hours, whatever works best for me. This flexibility makes it easy for me to exercise in the mornings and lead a better quality of life outside the office.

What does your typical day look like?

There is never a dull moment in my day-to-day. It is a mix of researching accounts, 3 cold-calling blocks, cold-emailing leveraging research to personalize, a daily team meeting, and LinkedIn tasks. Depending on the afternoon, I have 1x1s with my manager and teammates, company-wide meetings, or external follow-up meetings.

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

To empower my team to be more creative, I simply give them the space to do so. That's just one part though. They also need to know our environment willfully supports it. While I am here for guidance, what's most important is for the SE to feel empowered to put their stamp on things. In my experience, you'll get better results, and have more fun!

David

Director, Solutions Engineering

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The biggest problem my team is solving is how to scale the company. We have a solid foundation already. However, as we grow, we're choosing systems and processes to position us for growth. It is challenging and exciting to be a part of this process. It's rewarding to see our impact on other teams and the long-term benefit to the whole company.
