Valuations Manager

🚀 About Pulley

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist, and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be. 

We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, self-starters to help us build equity management tools for founders. Pulley is growing quickly with over 1600 customers including unicorns like Clubhouse, Birdies, Coda - all within our first year of product launch. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founder's Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, Founder's Fund, Elad Gil, among other great angels. All of our growth has been organic, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.

🌟 Who We're Looking For

We are looking for our first valuations hire to build a 409A valuations practice at Pulley. You will have high impact and wide-ranging responsibility: designing a system to process hundreds of 409a valuations per month, hiring, managing, and recruiting a team to execute on that plan, and working with our product team to develop analytical products for our customers. This person must be a builder who thrives in a fast-paced environment—unafraid to try new things, embrace new ideas, and welcome suggestions for how we can continuously improve our processes.

🛠 Responsibilities

• Build an organization that can process hundreds of 409a valuations per month
• Manage and hire a valuations team to scale with Pulley
• Partner with the product team to develop valuation-related features
• Identify opportunities to improve the valuation experience for our customers
• Track and report the progress of the valuations unit to the team

🙌 Qualifications & Fit

• 5+ years of managing a 409a valuation practice
• A passion for building teams for early-stage startups
• Ability to manage and develop valuation talent on your team
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Proven abilities to handle all range of valuation work, from pre-seed to pre-IPO startups

💚 Benefits

• Unlimited vacations

✨ Our Culture

TL&DR - Pulley is not a good fit for everyone, and that’s OK. This is a bit about the culture of Pulley. We need people who aren’t just interested in working at a startup; we need people who are excited about building a great company. In addition to function-specific skills, here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:

• Ego-less Learner -- Every day at Pulley, we are trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. To be successful here, you need to embrace that feeling of ‘being a beginner’ and be willing to accept feedback in stride. 
• Less Talk; More Action -- Everyone rolls up our sleeves at Pulley. If your strength is being the ‘idea gal or guy’ but you don’t create your own slides or write your own code, then we are not a great fit.  
• Prioritize ruthlessly - Our view is that being a 10x engineer is not about writing more code; it’s about making the right decision on what to build. We’re hiring for people who can make the right strategic decisions on where to spend their time

We’re also inspired by the culture work done at other companies and plan to develop our own playbook here too. One of the concepts that resonate most with us is the importance of stunning colleagues.

If you like the sound of our environment and you’re passionate about joining a team like the one we’ve described, we'd love to talk!
