We’re searching for someone who has strong leadership skills and can motivate other teams to achieve goals and optimize efficiency.
Reporting to the CEO, the COO/CFO will be our first c-suite leader outside of the founding team. They will join senior leadership in positioning the company to scale and refine its diverse range of operations and programs. Providing critical stewardship and infrastructure development during a period of change and growth, they will manage core internal functions of the organization including Finance, People Ops, Operations, Legal, Customer & Vendor Experience. The ideal candidate for this role is someone who started their career in Finance and has a strong systems mindset but enjoys the challenge of transforming a start-up’s operations into smooth running functions. They’ll bring an inclusive and collaborative approach to management, providing critical leadership essential to ensuring that the company achieves its goals.
This is an opportunity to become a part of something big and position yourself early on as a future leader of a company during its hyper-growth period.

Our product allows companies to discover, plan and book high quality experiences for their teams for every use case.

Product Led - As a managed marketplace for employee experiences, we put the user-experience of our platform at the top of our priority list. We believe (and have significant evidence) that a great platform sells itself, and always prefer investing in the platform & marketing automation as scalable sales channels.

Corporate-Consumer Facing - Selling directly to any employee that holds a company credit card, Confetti enjoys the benefits of B2C companies (low-touch onboarding, no sales or corporate approvals needed, etc) and those of B2B companies (high recurring budgets, high willingness-to-pay, low pricing sensitivity).

Despite the power of technology, we believe that humans are at the core of every business, so we approach all elements of our work with kindness & empathy, keeping that fact in mind.
We challenge ourselves to be open minded, level-headed, and flexible.
We try to always under-promise and over-deliver, but we admit to our mistakes when we make them.
We do our best to meet all challenges with creative solutions. We try to always look within ourselves before demanding change from others.
We demonstrate our respect for all humans by being an inclusive company and by constantly reassessing ourselves to ensure we’re treating employees, customers, vendors, partners, investors, and users with the utmost respect and consideration.
Rather than using “transparency” as a mere slogan we implement it radically by providing full visibility of each aspect of the company to every team member. We believe that each team member should be a co-author of our story, not a supporting actor.
We insert fun into every place and situation we can!
We pride ourselves on hard work that results in true value and quality for our end users. Our never-ending passion for innovation drives us to create a larger positive impact on this planet.
Building software (as many other things), can be either done by craftsmanship or a “production line” approach. If you’ve had a chance to interact with our platform, you probably know by now which method we choose. We are passionate about excellent software & UX, and apply the same values to the rest of the Confetti DNA - from our boutique vendors to our top-notch customer service.
Even as an early-stage startup, we highly invest in our developer experience, and always look for ways to improve it. We believe that using the best tools, frameworks & processes creates a smoother workflow that makes our job that much more fun and productive. Our team has deep awareness of why this matters, and the means to execute it.
While this word has been circulating quite a lot lately, it’s rarely implemented to its fullest. Our team is exposed to EVERYTHING happening at the company, in real time - from sales to fundraising, hiring, product and really anything else. We believe that each team member should be a co-author of our story, not a supporting actor.
To create the best solutions, for our users' most important problems, we need to always be heading in the right direction. To remain the market-leader in our category, we need to continue moving fast. Building something great takes time, so reaching our goals while enjoying the ride means running a marathon, not a sprint (pun intended).
