A Q&A with Juniper Square

Why does the role you’re hiring for matter/what impact does it have on the company?
The Product Operations team plays a key role in a data-intensive and data-focused company in the form of customer onboarding. Without being properly onboarded and having their current and historical data on the software, the customer is unable to leverage several key features of the software. The Product Operations team unlocks the ability for customers to gain value from the software on day one, setting them up for success through proper data migration and IT implementation.
The Customer Success role is the key contact with our customers. We handle training and ongoing account management, and take a consultative approach to helping our customers get value from Juniper Square. We spend a lot of time speaking to customers and helping them solve their everyday problems, as well as advising on best practices in the private equity industry.

Secondly, they need to have a firm understanding of the role they are interviewing for. Be prepared to give examples of similar work you have done that makes you a good fit for the role.
