Job Description
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Our client is a startup in stealth mode that is in the process of creating an end to end mid-tier ERP software that is made for the SaaS industry.

For example, if you use NetSuite, you still would need to use Zuora and/or Flocast to complete all revenue related tasks. This company’s goal is to create a software that is made for SaaS company’s that is all encompassing where you don’t need to use products outside of the software.
