About the role

Douglas Adams once said, "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." Funny, because it's true. So much so that it sparked our unrelenting mission to increase the positive impact of technology on people's lives. From robot vacuums and voice assistants to banking apps, smart toys, and backyard grills, Centercode has helped shape countless products in virtually every household, and chances are good we've impacted your life already. We're full of people who take pride in striving toward our goals and having a blast while doing it. We're always on the lookout for enthusiastic, like-minded people to join us in making everyday life better through technology. As an Account Executive on the UserVolley founding team, you'll help bring our new product validation platform to new customers. You'll learn how product, research, and customer experience leaders make decisions, connect their needs to UserVolley, and own the buyer relationship from first conversation to signature. A Solutions Consultant will join from the beginning to lead technical discovery, demonstrations, and solution design. We're still writing the UserVolley sales playbook. In this role, you'll help write it, but you won't be starting from scratch. You'll have Centercode's 25 years of customer relationships and validation expertise behind you. Leadership and collaborators in Sales, Product, and Marketing will help you learn the product, work through deals, and test ideas. You'll bring the initiative to develop your own outreach, follow through on introductions, and keep new conversations coming.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
