TEAM

The ground is shifting in one of the largest software industry categories. While many traditional areas have made the jump to "cloud first" our customers are closer to the beginning of their journey in this functional business area. Propel has pioneered a next generation, cloud-centric approach to helping customers effectively get their product from "concept to customer". We have also partnered and built our solution on the Salesforce.com platform thus helping our customers integrate their "front office: customer facing activities into traditional "back office" product-centric activities. This approach has the potential to redefine the legacy PLM/QMS/CAD industry we compete with. We are growing fast and need coverage in a number of greenfield sales territories.
