Why join Sprout’s IT team?

Sprout’s Corporate IT team is a combination of adjacent squads working on projects under one umbrella. This unique structure is an exciting opportunity to grow your career in technology with exposure to projects across multiple disciplines—something you don’t often see in other organizations. It allows us to move quickly and collaborate with minimal friction or red tape. As a part of this team, you’re also given the space and expected to stretch beyond your core function, and make a deeper impact on the broader organization. In short, the work you do here matters, and you feel that day in and day out. 

What you’ll do

• Established a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s Salesforce and adjacent environments.
• Met and began building working relationships with stakeholders throughout our Sales and Success teams, as well as your teammates.
• Developed an understanding of the cadence at which the team operates and the various means of communicating both within and external to the team

• Established familiarity with Sprout Social’s implementation of Salesforce CPQ, demonstrated through shared contribution of CPQ-related tickets
• Established a relationship with stakeholders and end users and produced detailed and effective change requests. 

Within 6 months, you will have:

• Groomed, designed, and implemented team initiatives including bug fixes, feature development, and CPQ customizations
• Become established as an expert on our intake processes and taken steps to refine the process to make it as effective as possible
