What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Product Design position at Crossbeam?
It’s an exciting time at Crossbeam. We have just joined forces with Reveal to change the way companies go-to-market. The merger has earned the support of some of the world’s best investors : Andreessen Horowitz, Insight Partners, Redpoint, FirstMark and even Salesforce and HubSpot Ventures (yep, the biggest CRMs are investing in the future of go-to-market).
Combined, our unified company has created a powerful network of 25K companies, a team of world-class talent, an innovative product roadmap, and a North Star vision of creating a best-of-both-worlds customer experience.
What is Crossbeam ?
Crossbeam is the first and largest Ecosystem-Led Growth platform. We act as an escrow service for data, allowing companies to find overlapping customers and prospects with their partners while keeping the rest of their data private and secure. Companies use this data to sell more effectively, market to the right audiences, build the right products, collaborate with their service partners, generate demand, inform MA, and more. This has created an entirely new way of doing business called “Ecosystem-Led Growth” or ELG—and it works : 40% of our customers' closed deals come from their ecosystem.
