You’re looking to launch your career in tech. You’re technical first, but you also love talking to people and presenting. Plus, you know how to hustle. Maybe you’ve thought about starting your own company. Maybe you jumped in to manage a restaurant that your parents started. Or you landed boats and collected a small fortune in tips or ran a business in college. Or you’re an expert musician (we have a lot of those at Roam).
Roam is looking for you. We are seeking an “Entrepreneur” to help run our new customer and member experience, soup to nuts. It starts like this: someone at a company hears about Roam and books a time to see a product demo. You run the demo within the Roam Virtual Office Platform itself! You run an outstanding technical demo that shows clearly how Roam is revolutionizing remote work with a breakthrough virtual office that acts like an office building, but inside of a computer. Companies on Roam see massive productivity and culture gains once they are on, but it takes a little push to get them to make the switch. Your persistence and compelling articulation gets the company to do a free trial. You are not scared to pick up the phone to persist in getting an executive at a company to follow through on a trial after their demo. You run the implementation (a design meeting to build the virtual office space) and the welcome orientation (a presentation in the Roam theater to everyone in the company) and provide technical support to the champions until the customer converts (66% do). The buyers of Roam are 5-500 person distributed companies around the world, and the decision maker is nearly always the CEO, COO or CTO - so you should be comfortable on your feet building rapport and commanding the attention of a senior executive.
Roam is a different kind of company. We seek different kinds of talent. We don’t have product managers, we have !nventors - multifaceted engineers capable of conceiving of and implementing an entire product feature from idea, to backend, to UX. Similarly, we don’t have traditional SDRs or AEs, we have Entrepreneurs. Our word-of-mouth, community, and influencer marketing drives awareness and inbound leads. Entrepreneurs are technically outstanding, high agency, presentation masters capable of showcasing the power of Roam, persisting with a customer to get them to make the switch, and then implementing their entire company. You’ll experience leveraging the latest AI tools, built directly into the Roam Virtual Office platform.
This role reports directly to Lexi Bohonnon, Roam’s Chief Revenue Officer, and you’ll work closely and frequently with Howard Lerman, Roam’s founder.
Roam is revolutionizing remote work with our breakthrough Virtual Office that acts like an office building, but inside a computer. So everyone can get the feeling of being in the same room, except from anywhere in the world. In a Roam Virtual Office, there’s no commute, companies can hire talent from anywhere, and there are no office distractions. We serve over 1,000 companies around the world in every vertical including AI, software, fintech, crypto, logistics, even farms and circuses. Roam is founded by serial entrepreneur Howard Lerman, who previously founded and took Yext public. Roam is backed by more than $40m of venture capital from IVP, Protagonist and other leading investors.
All positions at Roam are fully remote!
