Who we are

At Help Scout, we’re on a mission to help businesses delight more customers. We’ve been on this journey since 2011, and today more than 12,000 companies use our platform to provide outstanding customer support. We’ve been fully remote from the beginning, and have a team of 140+ people all over the world.

We love crafting beautiful products and growing a business together, but we're also trying to do something bigger. We're building a company that brings out your best and leaves the world a better place — a company that seeks balance between profit and purpose. That's why we've been a Certified B Corporation since 2019 and have pledged 1% of our equity back to the community.

Help Scout’s success hinges on hiring talented, high-accountability people who want to be part of creating a culture where we all feel challenged and supported to do our best work. We hope that excites you to join us! 

Company values

Happy to Help

Help is our first name. We show up for others, not because we have to, but because we want to. We share knowledge and give freely by default, and operate with generosity and empathy for each other, our customers, and our community. After all, there is no I in team (or software).

Craft over Convention

Although it’s tempting to follow a well-worn path, we push ourselves to run beyond it — even when that sets us apart from our peers. We’re building a culture where it’s safe to be ambitious and hold each other to high standards. That’s why we obsess over the last 10%, because it shows up for our customers and the business in powerful ways.

Progress not Perfection

The work of building a product, culture, and brand is never done – we ship our best effort, listen, iterate, then repeat. Seeking progress requires the vulnerability to be curious, humble, and hungry to learn. Great ideas can come from anywhere, so we share our work openly, welcome the perspective of others, and continuously search for what can be improved.

Own the Outcome 

Ownership is key to our collective success. We consider the impact on our team and our community before we act, and believe that trust and integrity are non-negotiable. To create a better future, our decisions are made with stakeholders today and ten years from now in mind.

• As part of our centralized team structure, the Revenue Operations function operates within the broader Business Team. In this role, you will lead the Revenue Operations and Data team, supporting our Revenue (sales, marketing, and partners), Product, and Business teams as we scale. Your responsibilities will ensure the reliability, consistency, and accuracy of reporting our data and metrics across the company, which will be critical in driving operational excellence and informed decision-making.

You’ll empower the team to execute while staying close to each project and ensuring excellence is met.

• You’ll oversee all technology across the Revenue team, including the CRMs (Help Scout, HubSpot, SalesForce), our data stack (DBT, BigQuery, Looker), and automations. This includes vendor evaluation, procurement, and implementation. You’ll look ahead and understand the tradeoffs of certain technology decisions, limit technical debt, and only introduce complexity when needed.

• Much of your day-to-day will be helping our leaders make decisions based on accurate data while holding them accountable to this standard.

• You’ll manage the operations related to variable compensation payouts for sales and marketing. 

• You’ll collaborate with our product and engineering teams to proactively improve our strategy for data warehousing and data architecture.

We're seeking someone with proven expertise in data management, analytics, and system integration and a track record of driving operational excellence within revenue-focused teams.

• You are proficient with CRM platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce and have expertise in BI tools, specifically Looker.

• You have a track record of supporting all aspects of revenue generation, including marketing, sales, and partnerships.
