Join Our Team
We believe great culture begins with great people. When you join Allovue, you can be sure that the colleagues you work with are just as enthusiastic, collaborative, and committed to excellence as you are.
Our company prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism and strives to create an environment that is true to the inclusive workplace we want.
We’re fully remote and flexible.
Our team is 100% remote. We are friendly to both early birds and night owls and genuinely care much more about the quality of the work you do than the time of day you do it. We have “core hours” on Monday-Thursday from 1pm-4pm ET when we ask that people plan to be available for team meetings and collaboration—the rest is up to you.
We understand that you have a big life outside of work, so we encourage you to take the time you need for wellness appointments, school field trips, therapy, exercise, and whatever else you need to be a happy, healthy person.

In this role, you will be responsible for finding innovative ways to interest senior school district leaders (Superintendents, CFOs, Budget Directors, etc.) to ensure they are making every dollar work for every student.

We get to know them and their districts, then find ways to make authentic connections to build the top of our sales pipeline for Account Advisors. As the Business Development Specialist, you’ll be responsible for building on this approach with new methods of tailored outreach. Your success will be measured by the number of qualified leads you bring into the pipeline.
You'll love this because ...
You are not tasked with making hundreds of cold-calls per day.

- Source qualified leads through in-person or virtual events, 1:1 hyper-targeted outreach, and your own research
- Spearhead outreach efforts to generate new leads
- Qualify leads by having a consultative discovery conversation, asking great questions, taking thorough notes, and building excitement for our solutions
- Deliver webinars to engage with future customers
- Represent Allovue at 10-20 conferences each year (travel up to 40% pending COVID safety)
- Maintain good data hygiene in HubSpot
REQUIREMENTS
We're looking for someone who is ...
- The type of person who has been told they can ‘make friends with anyone'
- A lifelong learner with genuine curiosity, who is highly inquisitive
- A quick learner and able to accept feedback and to be held accountable
- Comfortable with fully remote work, highly communicative, and able to juggle being both self-motivated for independent work and reliably collaborative to work as a team
- An engaging presenter and facilitator
- Reliable and has a strong record of success in their prior roles
Ideally, you have ...
- Experience in business development, teaching, or theatre (yes, really!)
- A magnanimous personality and high emotional intelligence
- Strong and persuasive communication (including listening, writing, and speaking)
- A knack for being highly organized and detail-oriented
Please submit a resume and cover letter with your application.

Director of Development
ABOUT ALLOVUE
Allovue believes every student deserves access to the resources they need to be successful in school. Our education resource planning software empowers K–12 administrators at every level to allocate resources to best support the needs of their students. We seek people who are creative, funny, humble, flexible, motivated, collaborative, and problem-solvers. We love and respect our team members. We also love silly GIFs.
YOUR ROLE
Allovue is looking to hire someone who loves leading, mentoring, and growing technical talent. Their primary responsibility will be helping our development team grow their technical and interpersonal skills through quality and supportive mentorship. They will collaborate with product leadership and our development team to identify staffing needs and grow our team, maintain quality development and delivery processes, and keep up to date technical systems documentation. We have six individual contributors and are looking to grow that team to 8-10 over the next year. All individual contributors will report to you as the new Director of Development.
We are currently transitioning from primarily using Ruby on Rails and EmberJS to Elixir and Phoenix. We do not expect candidates to have a deep knowledge of our specific technical stack, but they should have experience managing development teams, mentoring and advancing early career developers, and working collaboratively with product managers and designers. We do not expect this role to directly contribute to our product regularly. This role will be approximately 80% management and mentorship, which may include paired programming and other activities in support of our individual contributors. The remaining 20% will be dedicated to administrative tasks, such as policy maintenance and process documentation.
Although we are open to candidates who also want to serve as the technical leader at Allovue, our primary concern is supporting our development team; we are happy leaving technical leadership decisions about product architecture and new technology to our principal developers.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Provide learning opportunities for our development team
- Mentor developers at various stages of their career to ensure their continued growth toward their individual goals
- Meet with each direct report no less than twice a month
- Lead hiring efforts as we expand our team
- Work with the Chief Product Officer to determine future resource needs
- Maintain technical documentation on product stack and security and access policies
- Build relationships across the organization to maintain a high-level of mutual respect and empathy with our Allovue colleagues
REQUIREMENTS
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional software development
- 3+ years of managing software developers
- Experience with delivering software with extensive automated test coverage in a mature CI/CD pipeline
- Experience mentoring and developing early, mid, and later career individual contributors
Bonus Points
- Comprehensive knowledge of one or more of these languages: Elixir, Ruby, and/or JavaScript.
- Experience with DevOps or SecOps
- Background in UX/HCI/Design
- ERP systems experience
- ETL/ELT development and orchestration
Our Current Stack
- Elixir/Phoenix
- Ruby / Rails
- JavaScript /Ember.js
- Ansible
- PostgreSQL
- R
- AWS
- Render
Salary Range: $145,000 - 180,000
Perks & Benefits
Paid-time off: we believe life events (the good and the bad) should supersede work. Flexible leave policies are available to all employees. We offer 4 weeks paid time off so you are able to manage work and life the way you want. We are closed for a week-long winter medley to recharge for the new year. We also welcome new additions to your family with parental leave, including leave for adoptive and foster parents.
Professional Development: When you grow, we succeed. Our development program allows you to design your own individual growth plan with your manager which comes with an annual budget for training and resources.
Company Retreats: We gather for retreats to discuss company updates, strategize about big decisions, learn together and bond as a team. Although the pandemic moved our retreats to Zoom, we understand the value of in-person team time and will resume in-person gatherings as soon as it’s safe to do so.
