The role is expansive, spanning implementation, account management, analytics, training, and adoption. As a TEAM, you are doing a lot both strategically and tactically.

The word I tend to use is hard-core but in a phenomenal way. There is a sense of high energy intensity that’s driven by the team’s shared orientation of our mission and goal. It very much feels like we are marching to the beat of the same drum, and that’s unique from other places I’ve worked. Everyone is hyper-focused on forward momentum  from leveling up how we deliver our module analytics to developing new innovation modules. No matter how big or small, it very much feels like it is a group of people who work really hard together and are oriented the same way  which I really appreciate.

What is your favorite part about working at EvolutionIQ?

My favorite part about working here is the collaborative culture. There’s a lot of cross functional exposure across teams and projects. For most employees here, everyone was a top performer at their previous company, and then you join EIQ and it feels immediately validating as the type of team you want to be apart of and you want to work with. I learn something from every single person I interact with at EvolutionIQ. While my primary focus is implementing and supporting our external partners, I simultaneously love the internal building work focused on scaling the business and driving innovation. We’re constantly finding better ways to add value for our clients, and I think a lot of that is a testament to our deeply connected internal culture.

From Day 1 at EvolutionIQ I’ve had a seat at the proverbial table and it was expected of me to be contributing, adding perspective, and sharing creative ideas and thoughts early-on.

I’ve grown tremendously and I’m a stronger communicator, strategic thinker, and leader by being surrounded by such an amazing team.
