Sales professionals to Alva Labs

Ever applied for a job that suited you perfectly, but didn’t even get a call-back for a first interview? Yeah, it has happened to most of us. But sadly, it often happens for the wrong reasons. For instance, you have a 60% less chance to get a callback if you have an Arabic-sounding name. If it was for a leadership role, you are less likely to get it if you are a woman, or if you are short (yes, you read that correctly, short!).

But it doesn’t have to be like this. There are alternatives to hire based on the stuff that really matters, based on who the person behind the CV is. Alva is one of those alternatives. We are now looking for an Account Executive that can help us drive growth, and help our customers to start implementing the future of hiring, today! 🚀

Do you want to be part of the solution?

We are always looking for great people to join our team. Right now we are not actively recruiting for these positions, but always want to get in touch with brilliant people for the future. Excited yet? Read further!

The company

Alva Labs is a Stockholm-based SaaS company that offers a solution that is helping global companies scientifically grow their team. Alva has created a unique candidate assessment platform that helps companies build their organizations with the right people in the right place. Combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, it provides the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3x per year and are in the exciting phase to launch Alva in new markets. Our current focus is on building a great product, enabling Product-Lead-Growth, and releasing our next big bets.

Working in Sales at Alva Labs

Our sales team consists of a bunch of great people, with both Sales Development Representatives (SDR's), Account Executives, and team leads. 

As SDR, you will be responsible for the initial part of the funnel making sure to book qualified meetings to ensure a strong pipeline. By using the right tech stack, it will be easy to identify the right prospects and get in touch with them using best practices and the latest technology.

The Account Executive is a quota-carrying role and your primary responsibility will be to drive, develop and close sales opportunities that are qualified by the Sales Development team. You will be part of a tight-working sales team. We are growing rapidly, and value future leadership potential. Prove your capacity and that not even the sky is the limit.

The role of a team lead at Alva is for people that have a proven all-star sales and leadership record within quota carrying sales. The team leads are passionate about sales operations and comfortable driving processes together with team members through leading by doing. Leading the team comes naturally to the team lead by showing what needs to be done.

You

Interested in one of these roles, or both? For us, you could potentially be a fit for any of them! We don’t necessarily care that much about what you have done before. Maybe have worked in sales before, maybe you haven’t. To be super transparent: if you are the right person (because that we care a lot about), we can help you reach your full potential on site. 

We do believe you cross some of these characteristics:

• Genuinely enjoy handling stakeholders of all sorts.
• Structured.
• Communicative.
• Goal-oriented (some would call it stubbornness, we just used the fancy CV appropriate term).
• Our company language is English, so no need to speak Swedish.

• Weird senses of humor are also always welcomed, but more of a nice-to-have.
• Future leadership potential.
• Swedish, as well as any other language as we’re on an international expansion journey.

Your future colleagues

We are a team of 80+ people, representing 18 different nationalities and a wide selection of professional backgrounds. And all of that is absolutely fantastic, but the true beauty is the trust and warmth you will experience. You will most likely never be as supported and have so many brilliant minds to learn from and ask for guidance. To quote our CEO during our last company trip, “It feels like hanging out with a bunch of old friends”.

We currently have a hybrid approach, so working from home or at the office is your choice.

Why join Alva?

The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?!), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to work with something that truly makes a difference.

With 350+ customers, strong growth, happy users, and soon 300 000 assessed candidates, there is a lot of greatness to build on. We are now entering an exciting phase of our company journey.

We have flexible work hours, where you can decide for yourself what works best for you. You will get 7 weeks of vacation, an on-market salary, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks. You can read all about our benefits → HERE ← and our company values → HERE ←.
