Although I did not apply in the traditional sense via a job listing, the interview process was smooth and everyone was very welcoming.
Here was my interview experience:
I had a combined conversation with the marketing lead and CRO to kick things off. I had pitched high level ideas and opportunities for them, which initially started the process of me potentially joining the team.
From there, I was asked to expand on some of my ideas around what I would do in this role, some opportunities I spotted, and my plan to contribute to their growth/impact to revenue. It wasn't a huge lift of time to put together in a strategy document and a fair ask for the nature of this role.
From there, I had a follow up conversation with them (marketing lead and CRO) to go over my proposal, answer any questions they had about it, and continue the conversation.
My last step before a potential offer, was to connect with the Co-Founder and CEO for a 30 minute chat. He asked some great questions and encouraged me to also ask any questions I had for him about the business, culture, etc.
About two days later, I received an offer to join the company which I accepted.
Although I did not apply in the traditional sense as mentioned above, the process was very smooth and took about 2 weeks in total to complete. Everyone was very professional, asked some great questions, and allowed me to ask anything to which I felt everyone was very transparent in their responses.
Overall great experience, which was a signal to me that this was somewhere I definitely wanted to work.
