  • Map where revenue leaks between handoffs across the business funnel
  • Deliver weekly performance summaries that keep leadership informed

  • A collaborator who makes the vp review feel less like an exam
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • Strong working knowledge of Teamwork and Instructional Design

  Joining StartupAdvantage means joining a service-minded group of professionals who push business forward from Everett. Burnout is treated as a system bug at StartupAdvantage, not a badge of ego-light honor.
