# Hello there
Here’s a short video from me:
Would you like to…
– Learn and work with cutting-edge AI and automation technology?
– Be mentored by an ex-Uber head of operations and an ex-YCombinator COO?
– Have an opportunity to shape the future of a growing AI / automation agency?
– Work with smart and kind teammates and clients?
The Workflow Company is looking for a tech-savvy generalist who wants to eventually become a sales automation expert to join the team.
If you tick many of the following boxes, you would likely thrive in this role:
– You are creative and analytical
– You are detail-oriented yet can see the big picture, too
– You are naturally curious and enjoy problem-solving
– You are resourceful and can figure things out on your own
– You love learning and iterating
– You are a team player and are willing to go beyond what your job description says to help the team
– You proactively seek out coaching and feedback to improve even faster,
– You are an excellent written and verbal communicator, being prompt and succinct
– You have strong references from previous jobs that we can contact
– (100% optional), you have previous programming experience in any language
I want to emphasize – you do not have to tick off all of the criteria listed above. We care more about your potential than anything else. Tangible skills can be taught and I will personally invest the time and effort required to ensure you have every opportunity to succeed in this role and on this team.
# What your onboarding and ramp-up will look like:
Month 1
– You will learn the basics of email infrastructure setup and maintenance and own this process. It is a process that involves a lot of manual, repetitive work, but one that requires attention to detail
– You will learn how to use by training, practice, and shadowing
– You will learn other tools in our stack
Month 2
– You will learn the basics of Javascript within the context of Clay
– You will start building end-to-end campaigns in Clay, with ample support from the team to ensure your success
– As you learn Javascript + Clay + other tools, you will start building a training curriculum for onboarding new teammates who will join after you
Month 3
– You will be fully ramped up and manage clients, build and execute on campaigns
Below is a guiding principle that we will go through for any skill that you’ll learn, to ensure your success:
Step 1. I do; you shadow
Step 2. I do; you help
Step 3. You do; I help; we debrief
Step 4. You do; I shadow; we debrief
Step 5. You do; someone else shadows
As you develop your skill set and your impact on the business, we will re-negotiate your salary to ensure it is commensurate with your contribution. We will have the first review at the end of Month 3 once your onboarding is complete.
# What your day-to-day will look like:
You will need to maintain a minimum of 3 hours of overlap with EST time zone, which means you will need to be online from 21:00 – 00:00 your time (GMT+8). Outside of these hours and occasional one-off meeting requirements, you can set your own working hours.
About 80% of your work will be asynchronous and require blocks of distraction-free focus time. The other 20% will be for team and client meetings.
We take your professional growth and success seriously, and will invest time and resources in ensuring that we support you to become an integral part of the team.
You and I will meet on a weekly basis to discuss work and your professional development.
# Application Process
If you’re interested in moving forward, this is what the process looks like:
1. You apply to this job post
2. We will have an asynchronous interview, which will consist of series of questions and answers
3. If we believe you would be a good fit, we will ask you to work on a *paid* assignment, which will resemble our day-to-day work
4. If you pass the assignment step, we will have a Google Meet call where you will have ample time to ask any questions to help you decide
5. Finally, we will ask for and check all your past references
# A little bit about The Workflow Company
The Workflow Company helps automate outbound email-driven sales for B2B startups in North America. We build automated infrastructure and systems that enable sending thousands of hyper-personalized and relevant emails to potential customers on behalf of our clients. We do this by using AI and automation software like Clay (), Smartlead (), and Apify ().
Here are some video walkthroughs of what we do:
1. Superorder: /feed/update/urn:li:activity:585590785
2. SheetWhiz: /feed/update/urn:li:activity:072494592
3. Slack Tool: /feed/update/urn:li:activity:064025089/
4. Inari: /feed/update/urn:li:activity:745181184/
We help our clients grow quickly through outbound automation, but we ourselves want to grow sustainably. This means we do things a little bit differently than most other agencies:
– We will only work with customers who we’re confident will benefit from working with us. If there are better or no solutions to a prospective client’s problem, we will be honest with them
– We prioritize sustainability over profits. This means we focus on making existing customers happy before bringing on new customers
– We love scenarios where everyone wins. This means always doing our best to align everyone’s incentives – whether it be our customers or teammates
– We think long-term. Integrity, reputation, and relationship are more important than ungenuine sales tactics, fancy marketing, and transactional profits
Lastly, here’s our current tool stack:

– Slack
– Loom
– Email

Project Management

– Clickup
Outbound Email
