Saalt | $40,000–$55,000
Steph's Notes:
This one was reader-submitted, thanks!
At Saalt, we immerse our team in an exceptional work environment with opportunities to learn and grow.
Why does this kind of statement on a Careers page just never bode well for the actual job description? Oy.
If you are looking to make a worldwide impact, Saalt is the place for you. Saalt HQ is located in beautiful Boise, Idaho.
There is just something about "world-wide impact" immediately followed by "Boise, Idaho" that is deeply funny.
List benefits as perks, making my eye twitch! Although apparently they do offer no-cost in-house daycare, so that kind of balances it?
On to the JD -- I'm going to be honest, Customer Experience & Growth Automation Manager is an interesting combination and I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.
Saalt is one of the fastest-growing brands in women’s health and sustainable period care, and we need a CX leader who wants to actively be involved in shaping the ongoing strategy. Saalt has developed a reputation for delivering the best Customer Experience and education in the industry. With a shifting competitive landscape and new technologies comes a need to constantly reassess the principles of how to deliver customer delight and education. Your job will be to help continually improve Saalt’s CX processes and update best-in-class playbook over time.
I'm confused at the job title for this, then – feels like it should definitely be more senior.
Work with the Saalt Leadership Team on setting the vision and direction of the CX Team and the role customer delight plays in the long-term vision for Saalt as an industry leader in customer satisfaction and thought leader in women’s health. Handle the logistics: budget, systems, scheduling, and coverage, including occasional evening or weekend rotations because our customers don’t stop, and neither do we.
Oh yeah, this is definitely not a Manager position – it should be Head of/Director, at least.
Become an expert in menstrual cups/discs, period underwear, reusable period care, and menstrual health. (You didn’t think you were going to read that in a job description today!)
This seems like odd and casual sexism from a period product company. It's your product, and a product like anything else – why would I be surprised to read that in a job description for a period product company? Companies trying to be cute almost always make it weird instead, I swear.
Become an expert in all Saalt products and adjacent areas and lead the team in generating content to support customer education and marketing efforts broadly.
Mmmm, this is weird. And there's no way they're compensating the Support team appropriately for marketing content they've created.
$40,000–$55,000 depending on experience
Absolutely not. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT.
Period companies, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER OH MY GOD
