Datamaran | "Competitive" comp not given
Steph's Notes:
Datamaran's Careers page isn't terribly informative, but at least they have one.
I think this might be the first job description I've seen (at least in a long while) that puts the EEO statement up front. I like it!
Are you passionate about building long-lasting relationships with customers while promoting the value of a unique SaaS product?
I try not to break down JD phrasing too much, but this is a savvy way to put this. I may not always be wild about selling a product, but building relationships with customers really is my favorite part of the job, and I'd wager that's true for many CX folks. It's just a smart way of relating to candidates' preferences without losing sight of their own business goals.
You will be supported by our Implementation & Training team taking care of the customers’ first steps in their onboarding journey, technical requests from clients, while you’ll be focusing on the strategic support of accounts.
I love it when companies talk about how candidates will be supported in the role! A green flag.
Excellent organizational, prioritization skills and attention to detail.
Given the repeated requirements in the very same section as this one, this remains the funniest (and most reliable) of all the Bad Job Bingo entries.
We are Datamaran: a fast-paced, energetic and high-growth technology company.
Well, this took a turn. Between this casual ableism, the lack of salary transparency despite competitive claims, and their ask for compensation expectations on the application, the JD practically puts itself in Tread Carefully.
We could have had it all, Datamaran.
