Career mobility at TechWolf

The story of Ophélie who transitioned into a new role in sales operations.

What’s your background and how did you join TechWolf?

I studied Business Engineering and Data Analytics at the University of Ghent. During my studies, I heard about TechWolf and started following the three founders.

Shortly after my graduation, I decided to pursue a Master’s degree in Teaching (Economics) and while working at the University of Ghent, I met someone who wrote about TechWolf for her PhD.

Without knowing exactly what I wanted to do - I applied and got a role. Starting out as a Sales Associate I was able to get a good understanding of our product, the market we’re selling into, and the needs of our customers.

What made you switch to your current role?

After a couple of years at TechWolf, I realised I wanted to use my analytical background more, and when Dan, our VP of Sales, joined, he quickly noticed that I had the skills for a role the company was building in sales operations.

This is how my new role was created, and my focus is both to help Dan with sales operations and Jonathan, our VP of Finance, with revenue operations. This role means that I can use the skills that I learned during my degrees and do something I love, work with operations, processes, and data.

What are your main learnings from this experience?

At TechWolf, we practice what we preach. When I asked to explore a new role, leadership heard me immediately, and we created a role that mapped my skills to what the business needed in this area. We’re now five months in, and I couldn’t be happier. I get to do a role that was tailored for me - using all my skills and strengths.
