Careers

Our admin team does the glamorous and not-so-glamorous tasks for the company, from maintaining our computer network to recruiting new hires to planning annual company retreats. The needs and wellbeing of our company’s people steer their decision making, but the admin team also creates opportunities for the company to give back to our Nashville community through partnerships with Youth Villages, Junior Achievement USA, and the Nashville Technology Council (NTC). Whether our admin team is working on the company’s long term growth strategy or dressing up for the company Halloween costume contest, they approach everything with creativity and a commitment to excellence.

Initiative and thoughtfulness are our defining characteristics and we go the extra mile to keep everything running efficiently. Some days, that may mean changing a lightbulb, planning the next team outing, or enrolling the team in insurance benefits. Other days that may mean advocating for team members through celebrations and policy creation, administering performance reviews, or keeping departments on budget.

If you're the type that gets a thrill from having 20 plates spinning at one time, keeping everything organized, and being the behind-the-scenes hero to helping the entire company succeed, this is the team for you.

As the Business Intelligence team at TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on understanding and advising on the data, processes, and priorities that run our business. Specifically, the BI team includes Data Architecture and Analysis, Business Analysis, and all things reporting.

At TechnologyAdvice, we know that our data is one of our biggest assets, and this team owns the health of that mission-critical data. Sales and Client Success teams use data everyday to expertly connect buyers and sellers of business technology. Our team optimizes the organization, retrieval, and sharing of this data across our tools and people. Analysts are constantly mining to identify industry and company trends, support business needs, and discover opportunities for process optimization.

Our team looks deeper at how our business runs day to day, investigating and highlighting areas for improvement. This team regularly implements customized Salesforce solutions, builds Tableau reports and dashboards, presents to executive leadership on new opportunities, and designs, implements, and trains TechnologyAdvice staff on improved processes. We are looking at efficiency, quality, and monetization metrics daily to ensure our teams are getting the most out of their tools, data, and time.

As a team, we pride ourselves on looking deeper, shining a light, and advising the business on how to accomplish the next phase of growth and success.

Sales and Client Services at TechnologyAdvice includes our two main components - business development, and client management.

Business Development

Business development is fast-paced and competitive. Our team members understand that success comes from having a strategic plan and taking action. This team gets to work early, constantly looks for new partners and clients to serve, and thrives on winning new business. When working with clients, our business development team is knowledgeable and consultative. They want to make sure each client is set up with the demand generation program to best fit that client’s needs. This team also has the opportunity to travel and take our powerful message on the road. A willingness to attend conferences and visiting clients around the country is necessary.

Client Success

Our client success team focuses on the happiness of our clients. Each Client Success Manager is the main point of contact for a batch of specific accounts and teams up with a Business Development professional to serve a territory. Their entire role is to ensure the greatest experience from on-boarding to delivered product. These folks are experts on our processes and capabilities and we rely on them to translate this knowledge to clients.

For every member of sales and client services team, there is a focus on education. We offer and encourage in-house training, book clubs, conference tickets, and industry groups to grow team members professionally.

Culture of Education — We want to create a culture where we constantly learn and grow within our industry as well as educate our customers, partners, and buyers. Examples include joining industry groups, developing selling skills, and spending time increasing business acumen and experience.

Culture of Execution — We want to create a culture which links the three core processes of any business (people, strategy, and operations) together to get things done on time. An example would be following the processes as defined, being accountable for the tasks required of the position, and hitting the monthly/quarterly goals.

Culture of Inspection — We want to create a culture where we inspect what we expect. For example, you should know your pipeline, constantly look for ways to improve, and look for mentoring around your role and industry or the sales site.

As the Operations team, we’re focused on delivering above and beyond the results our clients expect. Whether we are launching an email campaign, advising a buyer on the best technology solution, training a new call agent, or simply double-checking program specifications, this team is all about high standards. Every day, the operations team executes a large volume of lead generation programs and skillfully syncs schedules, logistics, and timing for a high-quality end result.

No matter how difficult the program, we work tirelessly to generate quality leads for our clients. We review program pacing daily, think outside the box, and pull different levers to hit allocation goals on every program. Communication and teamwork is the core of the fulfillment team’s success and how we get the job done each and every day.

The marketing department at TechnologyAdvice is focused on the numbers. With every blog post or conference partnership there is a direct correlation to booked revenue. Revenue marketing, demand generation, call it what you want, but focusing on these results is what drives our team to a tangible impact on the company's bottom line.

Our marketing team continually works to improve processes, pitch new ideas, and execute goals that stretch each team member as we strive to create more value for our customers, both current and future.

Culture of Education — Our culture is one where we constantly teach and grow our existing talent pool while preparing for the future. Examples include reading books, blogs or attending webinars that add value and knowledge to your role and sharing that information with the rest of marketing team.

Culture of Communication — Our culture is one of communication with the rest of TechnologyAdvice where marketing can eventually become a support system for every department.

Culture of Constant Improvement— Our culture is one of constant and sustainable improvement to our processes & our strategy.

Comprised of technical and business-minded people from a variety of backgrounds and experience, our engineering team builds internal tools for a single client: their coworkers. Our team helps the company operate more efficiently, sourcing ideas and inspiration from our collective years of experience working in all kinds of environments, from startups to large corporations. A strong sense of comradery keeps the team in close contact at the office, and Slack and Google Hangouts bridge physical divides when the team works from home. TechnologyAdvice creates regular opportunities for team building and deep work through offsite dev bashes and hackathons.

What is the team building?

Our business involves moving huge amounts of data through real-time processing to match our customers with the technical products that will make them successful. We build tools to help make this process faster, more efficient, and more accurate.

What tools does our team use?

Everything we do is version-controlled on Git and deployed to AWS. We develop microservices using the Laravel Framework, written mostly in PHP/Vue.js and deployed using Forge/Envoyer, yet soon to be into Docker containers. Our engineers use a Mac with the editors or IDEs of their choice, working mostly out of a local Docker-based development environment supported by Binci.
