If you’ve ever thought “I could spend all day talking & thinking about martech and ecomm”, then this role is for you! Job posts are long. Here are three quick questions to help you navigate this one:

• Do you have extensive hands-on experience with lots of martech and/or ecomm technologies?

About Alium's TeamAlium was founded by CB Insights alums. Jon(athan) Sherry co-founded CB Insights and was their COO for 11 years. Alex(andre) Testu was employee #4 at CB Insights and played instrumental roles in establishing and scaling the company’s product and engineering orgs.

Why shouldn't you apply for this position? Joining Alium comes with many benefits, including the excitement of building something from the ground up with frontline access to founders and a choose-your-own-adventure career path.But there are reasons this might not be the right gig as well. For example, if you crave established infrastructure, formal training programs, clearly mapped career progression paths, products that won’t change a whole lot, or a formal office to report to every day, etc. then this isn’t the right position for you.
