Sourcegraph

Remote job description

ALL SOURCEGRAPH ROLES ARE FULLY REMOTE

Who we are

Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population. Our code intelligence platform helps developers and companies with billions of lines of code create the software you use every day. By enabling more people to code, we believe we will create economic opportunity across the world and will drive progress that benefits everyone.

It's an exciting time to join Sourcegraph. Our business is growing rapidly: we've experienced exponential growth and our $125M Series D from Andreessen Horowitz and $50M Series C from Sequoia have given us the opportunity to make big ambitious bets on our future. We have a huge market (every company that builds software) and massive opportunity (most developers haven't even heard of code intelligence yet, but once you've used it, you can't live without it--just like Google). By continuing to hire exceptional people, we have the opportunity to make Sourcegraph one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

Working hours

? Given that we are an all-remote company and hire almost anywhere in the world, we don't have a location requirement for this role. However, your working hours must overlap with US Pacific Time (US West region) for at least 32 hours/week.

Why this job is exciting

As Regional Director (US-West and APAC), you'll lead our exceptional high agency all-remote team of Technical Advisors (post-sales customer success). Our Technical Advisors lead user onboarding and nurture activities for our customers: they work to ensure our customers are achieving their desired positive business outcomes within their business, maximize their return on investment (ROI), and ensure a long-term happy partnership. This is the team that thrives on training and enabling users, knowing their customers' business and needs deeply, thrives on relationship-building and connection, and is the main technical point of contact our customers trust post-sales.

    • Regularly providing feedback to the team to encourage personal and career development, and
    • Staying in lock-step with adjacent teams and leaders to ensure consistent alignment along all customer touch points.
  • Based on your observations thus far, make recommendations to leadership for improvement or the stand up of new processes, tools, templates, etc.

In the first 90 days (and beyond) you will...

  • Place your unique stamp on Sourcegraph by capturing and sharing the innovative approaches you and your team come up with and driving those through the rest of the organization.
  • Take ownership of and execute the processes that will enable us to innovate and scale the TA function at Sourcegraph.
  • Develop and grow the TA team by cultivating a first class team, culture, process, and results. Results can be seen in Sourcegraph growth (revenue and adoption) and customer happiness.
