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 all across our discipline—something you don’t see often 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 encouraged 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’ll feel that day in and day out.

• Serve as the SME for the tools and processes under your umbrella and make sure tools and processes are scalable, pristine, and well-documented for your teammates. 
• Lift the skills of others around you through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and providing feedback 
• Leverage your understanding of the larger field to confidently make decisions and execute, and build the right functionality in the right order
• Improvise and develop creative and collaborative solutions when common approaches fail.

• Experience managing small-sized projects independently 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively interact with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Hands-on experience with our existing software specifically, Coupa, Salesforce Billing, Recurly, CloudPay, Workday or Docusign
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Experience with data integration tools and methodologies is a plus.
• NetSuite certifications (e.g., NetSuite Administrator, NetSuite Financial User) Experience with scripting languages (e.g., SuiteScript)
