What it’s like working at Brooklyn Data
We’re at an important time in our company’s history: the beginning. That means we don’t have things perfect yet, but we’re enthusiastically crafting a culture that’s inclusive, career-minded, and action-oriented from the start. We welcome feedback and input on everything from hiring to onboarding to project management practices. We hold each other to practicing our company values, to finding ways to strengthen the areas we each need to grow in, and to finding ways to take care of each other throughout.
You can expect to hone your business acumen and sales expertise with opportunities to be creative, autonomous, and build things from scratch. This role will work closely with both the Head of Partnerships and Brooklyn Data’s founder, but you can expect ample cross-collaboration opportunities across the company. This is our first dedicated business development hire and we are expecting a tremendous amount of growth in 2021. Note: this is a salaried role with no commission.
What to expect from the screening process
Kickstart questions – If you decide to apply, you’ll share some written answers to questions that will help us understand how your experience and interests map to what we need to grow the team.
Phone screen – You’ll speak to a manager at Brooklyn Data.
Chat with your potential future co-workers by phone or Zoom – You’ll chat for about an hour with a few of the people you’ll be working with. We’ll share our key questions in advance, because we want to level the introvert / extrovert playing ground, to have you as much at ease as possible, and to make the best possible use of our time together. You’ll also have some time to ask questions of the team.
Work on problems that reflect the job – You’ll submit your responses to a set of exercises designed to reflect the technical and communication skills you’ll need on the job. We hope it both gives us a sense of your skills and you a sense of day-to-day work at Brooklyn Data. We’ll pay you a stipend for your time so that the time (a few hours) doesn’t create an unfair barrier for any applicants.
Chat with Scott – Meet our friendly founder!
References – We’ll ask to hear from a few people that can speak to what it’s like to work with you.
Our decision – If you’re selected, we’ll make an offer and open the avenues for communication with our team members to support you in making your decision. If you’re not selected in the current round, we promise to give you some context as to why not, if you’d find that useful. Keep in mind that we’re growing, and we expect there to be many future opportunities!
