What you will be doing

The mission of our Integrations Group is to aggregate & organise contributed business data, making it accessible and useful: ultimately, making it easy for our clients to build products that make SMEs lives easier. We standardise data in the accounting, banking & commerce domains and make it easy to access through a single API.

You will be accountable for:

• Focus on usage & growth: Using data and working with stakeholder/clients to identify ways to improve useability and usefulness of our product in key verticals
• Launch of new integrations: grow the number of integrations in your domain, working with business analysis, engineering to ensure we deliver high quality integrations at speed.
• Improving integrations coverage: expand our existing integration depth and coverage within your domain, working with client success teams to ensure effective prioritisation.
• Improving experience: abstract away complexity from the experience of setting up and using our integrations.
• Expertise in your domain: display a well-rounded understanding of the landscape & be the "go to" person for queries from across the company.
• Advocating for users: ensure what we build contributes to solving user problems by providing clear context for all relevant use cases.

Our values

No matter what we're doing - whether we're speaking to customers, partners or to each other - we live by our values.

We believe in delivering useful technology that solves real problems for real businesses. We have a real want to do the stuff that isn't always "cool" but makes a difference.

We believe that the people in the best teams push and enable each other to excel. We're united when we have each other's backs - when something goes wrong, we don't blame, we work together to fix it. We embrace differences of opinion to end up with better outcomes. Transparency in our interactions is critical to drive towards our goals as a team. We openly share all information with all colleagues by default, unless we have a really good reason not to. We embrace differences of opinion to end up with better outcomes. We don't let our egos win.

We believe that an unstoppable drive towards a single, clearly stated goal is the best way to build great things. We are biased towards action - we make informed decisions and then we act. We inspect and question the status quo with curiosity, unafraid to ask the hard questions. There is no such thing as an impossible problem, just a great challenge to sink our teeth into.
