Poised is an early-stage startup on a mission to improve the world's spoken communication

• Communication is arguably the most important skill in life. How we communicate — the words we use, the way we say them, our tone and body language — all influence the way we’re seen and received in the world 🌐 and can advance or inhibit career mobility.
• LinkedIn reported that interpersonal skills and communication 🗣️ represent the No. 1 skill gap in today’s workforce. And in a business world that’s now conducted largely over videoconferencing and remote audio tools, that problem has only been only exacerbated in the last year.
• We're building a new category of product - a digital communication coach that gives people insight into their verbal, vocal, and visual cues in real-time and offers helpful ways to improve. We want to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and democratize the language of career mobility.
• We've been running a beta pilot since earlier this year and users tell us they love 😍 using the product and work at companies like Dropbox, On Deck, Amazon, Gitlab, Salesforce, Paypal, Visa, Forbes, Shopify, Albertsons, Netflix, Disney, LinkedIn.
• We're still in the fun 💥 startup phase having just raised our seed round, so we're looking for ambitious high performers who are comfortable with ambiguity and passionate about the mission of improving communication.

Poised Work and Life

We're a remote first team

We allow you work at your best in a flexible remote environment. We balance remote work with office days and quarterly offsites for in-person interaction.

We focus on what our users want

We are focused on creating experiences that users love and value. We stay close to users and prioritize based on what users say and do.

We learn quickly

We learn quickly through action and shipping product. Working here will be fast paced but rewarding. Even as a small team we're shipping several times a week.

Poised communication

We seek to communicate openly, clearly, and candidly. We seek to build a culture where people feel comfortable speaking up to be heard and understood.

We value having fun, balance, and health

We make time to have fun and celebrate moments together. We work hard but do not take ourselves too seriously. We offer free lunch, full benefits, and have a mandatory vacation policy to ensure everyone will disconnect.
