What is the working environment like at Sitemate?
- We are very transparent - monthly allhands meetings provide the team with direct insight into team updates,
customer stories, hiring plans and key metrics (NPS, Revenue, Financial Performance). During this allhands
meeting we also hear one ‘life story’ from one of our team each month - learning about different countries and
cultures around the world.
- We place an extremely high value on your time - you won’t be spending your days wasting time on fighting
internal systems, botched together spreadsheet processes or doing data entry.
- We use best in class systems that are seamlessly integrated to deliver our team the right information at the
right time, allowing them to get their work done efficiently and to a very high standard.
- You will have a core and close team around you, but you will also be exposed to and working directly with
multiple departments - engineering, product, design, marketing, sales and customer success.
- You will have a high degree of autonomy, as the focus is on outcomes and not hours. If you want to block off a
few hours to run a personal errand - no worries. If you want to block off an hour to pick up the kids from school
- no worries. No one will be monitoring your time.
- We are constantly working to minimise the number of group meetings - daily check ins are all done
asynchronously (in your own time) each morning. But spontaneous 1:1s or small sessions are strongly encouraged!
What does Sitemate do, exactly?
- Sitemate builds best in class software products for the built world.
- Industrial companies operating in the built world are facing a number of mission critical challenges - changes
in work behaviour due to covid-19, Generation Z starting to enter the workforce as mobile first users of
software, and the drastic shift away from traditional mining to renewable energy projects such as wind farms and
solar farms.
- Our first product - Dashpivot, is a platform where industrial style companies streamline and standardise their
processes in a new digital format. This enables them to complete and track work in the field on a mobile or
tablet, and automate repetitive tasks and tracking through automated workflows and real-time analytics.

What will be the biggest challenges for me in this role?

managing your time and strategic in prioritising tasks

FAQs
It looks like Sitemate works in industrial verticals like construction and renewable energy, do I need to
have industry experience in these areas in order to be successful?
Definitely not! Our last three new team members have come from Tourism, Online Gaming and Hospitality. You won’t
be expected to know anything about tech, or our customer’s industries in the built world. A strong interest in
tech and any prior exposure to these industries would help, but we will provide the necessary training and systems
to learn about the different industries we work in, and there are multiple team members internally who are from our
customer’s industries.
