UpSlide is the number one productivity solution provider for financial services. Our software dramatically improves the functionality of PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Power BI and enables users at firms like Citi, KPMG, and BNP Paribas to focus on high-value tasks rather than formatting or copy-pasting. We’re scaling up with 160+ employees across our offices in New York, London, Paris (HQ), Singapore, and Berlin.
Our values guide our approach to work and are at the heart of our recruitment process. To join our team, we look for individuals who value:
Excellence: We think that every detail counts, and we place great importance on the quality of our deliverables.
Trust: We are passionate, committed, and free to act with autonomy.
Happiness at work: We enjoy looking on the bright side and we share our enthusiasm with our colleagues and clients.
You will be an integral part of the dynamic and collaborative UpSlide team, working alongside experienced professionals passionate about transforming how people work with Microsoft Office.
You'll be working directly with Charles , the BDR Manager, who is leading the US BDR team — Emily, Liam, and Grace.
Why we’re different from other sales teams?
We strive to make UpSlide the best place to work in your career. Here are a few reasons why our sales team is different:
We’re trusted advisors to our prospects and clients - our goal is to always provide value to our prospects by having meaningful conversations and acting in their best interest
We thrive off working as a team - we know that working together and sharing knowledge is the best way to drive us forward
Continuous improvement and development - we always look to improve our skills, add creative aspects to our work, and adapt to the market around us
At UpSlide, we believe in fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. Here are some of the team rituals that contribute to our vibrant culture:
Yearly seminar in Paris: The yearly seminar in Paris is a key highlight for the UpSlide team, bringing together members from different offices around the world. This event, hosted at our Paris headquarters, serves as a unique opportunity for teams to connect, collaborate, and enhance the overall cohesion of the UpSlide global family.
Weekly goûter: Every Wednesday evening the office meets up for snacks, drinks, games, and lively banter.
Monthly social events: Once a month, we organize an “around-the-world” exploration of diverse foods and cultures in our team lunch. These moments create a relaxed atmosphere for team bonding.
Weekly, you will have:
1-1s with your manager for coaching and training
1-1s with Account Executives to strategize on outreach to target accounts
Meetings with the BDR team and the wider US team to share achievements, discuss challenges, and brainstorm new initiatives
Calling sessions with the team to engage with prospects
At UpSlide, our team goals are centered around expanding our market reach and establishing strong connections with key clients. As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you'll play a crucial role in driving our success by researching industries, executing targeted outreach campaigns, and securing meetings with senior executives to create new business opportunities.
