We’re Ada, a brand interaction platform that empowers brands to live up to their promises and have more—and more valuable—interactions with the people who love them. Our AI-powered platform has automated over 2.9 billion brand interactions for the world’s fastest growing enterprises, including Zoom, Facebook, and Shopify. In May 2021, we raised Series C funding of $130M by Spark Capital (early investors of Twitter, Slack, Snapchat), and officially became a global unicorn with a $1.2B valuation!
The passion of our people and dedication to their craft continues to drive our dramatic global growth.
Our work is rooted in authenticity, courage, empathy, and simplicity. We use these values to create a culture that encourages groundbreaking results, career progression, and community investment. You can learn more about the founding of our company here.
We are inspired every day by the opportunity to pioneer a new industry, and welcome those who want to join us.
We are hiring a Director, Value Consulting to join our Revenue organization to launch, scale and lead a high-performing, analytical team. This self-starter will report directly to the Senior Director, Solutions. They will cross-functionally work with leaders and teams including: Sales, Solutions Consulting, Professional Services, Customer Success, Go-To-Market and Product Management.
The Value Consulting team is responsible for the success of a key strategic function. They help Sales, Solutions Consulting and Customer Success teams to articulate the operational and financial value benefits of our software solution. They will engage directly with the customer to understand the business opportunity and build business cases for economic buyers (e.g. CFO, COO). As customer relationships mature over time, the Value Consulting team will also serve as a business advisor to senior stakeholders.
Lastly, the Value Consulting team will build new tools and assets that enable the cross-functional sales team to articulate business value, conduct business level discovery and measure existing impact. Their key performance indicators (KPIs) will be to increase our average deal size and protect price, increase our win rates, impact the overall net-dollar-retention of our accounts, and upskill our Go-To-Market teams.
