About Census

Census is how data teams at companies like Figma, Notion, Rippling, Clearbit, and Fivetran build better business operations.

With Census, analysts can turn their data warehouse into a single source of truth and publish their insights directly into the apps that marketing, sales, and success teams use daily. With richer customer data, these teams can build better campaigns, understand what users are doing, and ultimately drive more sustainable revenue.

Backed by a16z and Sequoia, we're a hybrid team headquartered in San Francisco who love taking annoying problems most people avoid and building elegant solutions for them. We believe that data should be used for more than just making charts. This is why we built the first integration platform that works directly within cloud data warehouses.

Your mission

This role is insanely high impact; you’ll partner with a small team of SEs and the VP of Revenue to design and execute how all technical sales will work at Census. You'll be a bridge between the front lines, working directly with prospects and clients alongside the sales team, and the product and engineering team, collaborating with them to relay feedback that impacts our product roadmap. You’ll provide technical guidance, solutions design, and thought leadership that enables companies to build better operations workflows. You’ll pair with prospective customers to drive the Census evaluation process, scoping out meaningful proof points, and then ensuring they have the best chance of evaluating Census successfully.

You will also be an educator and architect alongside our Sales team. From demos to workshops, playbooks, and sales enablement, you will help to establish the operating manual for teaching organizations about the value of Census.
