Why QLess

Freedom and autonomy: Your manager (pictured at right) firmly believes in a hands-off management approach, and you’ll enjoy the leeway to do what you do best--manage relationships and penetrate our account base! That’s not to say that you’ll be on an island. In fact, we take pride in promoting a collaborative culture where our team members simply need to raise a hand to ask for the resources and support needed for success.

Unique value proposition: We’ve helped DMVs get 5-star Yelp reviews--those kinds of results speak for themselves. A lot of companies claim to be competitors of QLess, but they really don't offer the end-to-end package that we do. Our technology makes everything easier to:

Eliminate long lines and significantly reduce complaints
Efficiently schedule and manage appointments
Boost staff productivity and morale
Improve customer service flow and increase satisfaction

Stability and growth: This is an exciting time to join QLess. We recently secured $3.5 million in growth funding and this capital will provide even more opportunities for our team. QLess was also named America’s Best Computer Services Company at the last American Business Awards for the second year in a row. This was the twelfth Stevie award for QLess. Our growth rate (over 100% average revenue growth year-over-year for the last 7 years) puts us in the top 10% of the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies in America. In terms of customer base, we have over 200 customers and we're adding about 20 new clients a month!

Career development: We expect this role to evolve over time and we're looking for someone who is eager to take on more responsibility down the line. Take ownership of this vertical and prove yourself, and you could help grow this team and add more direct reports over time.

Great environment: You'll find a high-energy, entrepreneurial culture at QLess, and we'll look to you to maintain and build on it. The culture has played a strong role in our growth by encouraging and motivating a customer focus. We also value work/life balance (see below).

Stellar Vacation Policy: Our policy is simple--take time when you need it. Yep, that’s it. No questions asked and it’s safe to say that our employees LOVE this unique benefit!

Excellent compensation package: In addition to a generous base salary and bonus structure, we also offer a comprehensive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).

Keys to Success

In addition to your account management experience, to excel in this role you will need to have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build strong trust-based relationships with your top 20 accounts. We’re looking for a “hunter” who can “farm” within the account base to drive sales and discover opportunities for upsells and expansions.

This is a collaborative role, and in addition to working directly with clients, you will enlist the support of sales specialists, implementation resources, service resources, and other sales and management resources as needed. You’ll also work closely with Customer Service Representatives to ensure customer satisfaction and problem resolution.

We work with some pretty cool customers--Walmart, Kaiser, Vodafone, and several large DMVs all use our mobile wait management solutions. To find success here, you’ll need to be professional, polished and able to navigate the organizational complexities of some of our larger clientele.
