Growth Associate

Remote within Australia or in-office/hybrid in Melbourne, Australia

We’re seeking a Growth Associate to support our go-to-market team at Atticus.

Atticus is a Melbourne-based scale-up founded in 2017 that offers the leading technology in document fact checking. Our software enables our customers—law firms, listed companies, and funds—to fact check critical documents before they're disclosed to market. People love Atticus because we save them a lot of pain in high pressure, high stakes work. Our mission is to bring more truth to the world of business. 

We’re a growing, global company, already used by 95% of Australian corporate law firms, 30% of the UK Top 30 law firms, and over 40% of the ASX50—and there’s a long way to go. You will play an integral role in our ambitious growth plans.

About the role:

You’ll be responsible for helping the growth team achieve their ambitious goals in the APAC region. As our first Growth Associate, you’ll be a self starter, able to work effectively with enthusiasm and flexibility without needing to be told exactly what to do. You’ll leverage your communication and collaboration skills to work with the growth team and senior leaders to support and contribute to our overall growth strategy. 

This is a new role to support our continued expansion, reporting to our Senior Account Executive. Here is what a typical week might look like:

• Prospecting: You will make phone calls, write emails and use LinkedIn to identify sales leads. You will research and identify potential customers' needs, often acting as one of their first points of contact. Using your drive, creativity and communication skills, you will help our growth team determine new markets and industries. 
• Collaborating: You will act in a support capacity to the wider growth team, such as coordinating conferences, events and webinars.
• Reporting: While working to achieve ambitious targets you will report back to the wider growth team on key metrics like calls made, meetings booked, and email response rates, to name a few.
• Significant room to grow: we’re looking for a candidate who is ready to kickstart their career and who shares our long-term vision of growing the business. Your primary task is to work with the Growth team to champion success.

This role will ideally suit a candidate based in Melbourne or Sydney, but strong remote candidates within Australia will be considered. 

About you:

We want people who are passionate about their craft. The people who are likely to thrive at Atticus are conscientious problem solvers. We’re open to all applicants with the following qualities:

• Creative and flexible: we’re a small team doing things that nobody has done before, so you’ll want to be excited about tackling unknown problems and pitching in to help even when you don’t quite feel like you know exactly what you’re doing.
• Natural communicator: communication is a first-class skill, particularly in a remote world, so we take this seriously. More than just good spelling and grammar, you’re great at building relationships and getting things done with others, whether it’s through Slack, Zoom or in person.
• Measure twice, cut once: we believe that long term, true velocity and agility comes from putting in enough planning that you can move fast without breaking things. “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.” 
• Bias toward action: generally, when in doubt, you give something a try and see if it works. Yes, doing the right thing is best, but doing the wrong thing is generally better than doing nothing at all. 
• Outcome-focussed: you don’t confuse a great slide deck for genuine user outcomes. You’re able to separate the process from the outcome, and if you’re blocked on the process you were expecting to take, you try other ways of getting that outcome.

Benefits:

• $80–100k exclusive of super, dependent on ability and experience
• Flexible work hours (we care about outcomes—go for that lunchtime swim)
• New Macbook and $2,000 home office setup budget
• Five weeks leave each year (and never work on your birthday)
• 16 weeks paid parental leave
• Dog-friendly office in Collingwood, Melbourne
• Generous professional development program
