Who We Are

Sproutel is equal parts R&D lab, design studio, and venture studio. We have a relentless focus on the patient, and we partner with companies to research, design, and launch products and services that deliver comfort, joy, and better health outcomes.

Sproutel is uniquely positioned at the intersection of tech, design, and social good. As we continue to grow, we have immediate goals to continue building a US-based team and global collaborator network that truly reflects the diversity we need to see in design and technology. We hope you'll join us in that mission.

The Position

We are seeking an independent, entrepreneurial, detail oriented, and highly collaborative individual to maintain relationships and manage projects with our key clients.

Responsibilities include:

• Serve as the product/project owner, working with clients and internal teams to craft the product/project workflow and execution plan for all activities.
• Manage partner projects - ensuring all necessary activities are progressing on-time and on-budget.
• Coordinate across design, engineering, manufacturing, and business development to ensure effective collaboration within Sproutel.
• Manage projects to identify key timepoints for client updates and participation, for effective collaboration and buy-in.
• Lead client communication, serving as the main channel from Sproutel.
• Organize and coordinate meetings with the client and internal teams.
• Assist in identifying and scoping new work based on ongoing client needs.
• Cultivate relationships with the client to grow business and ensure a longstanding collaboration.

Some qualities we value at Sproutel:

• You are curious and enjoy learning. We work on many new things, often simultaneously! We’ve grown tremendously by our team’s ability to learn new skills, adopt new or different technologies, and move into new markets. We’re always faced with the unknown, and celebrate diving into it.
• You are a collaborator. Teamwork makes the dream work. We look forward to pair programming, code reviews, whiteboard sessions, and lunch conversation to share ideas, work through problems, and share best practices.
• You have strong communication skills. Being able to explain ideas on the full spectrum of understandable abstraction to technical detail is critical to working effectively on our cross-disciplinary team.
• You are empathetic and emotionally intelligent. Sometimes things don’t go smoothly. A customer gets frustrated, a coworker bothers you, or a vendor slips behind schedule. Being able to solve problems while supportive and sensitive to those around you helps us build a company culture focused on respect.
• You are comfortable thinking in trade offs. We can’t always do it all and are constantly striving to strike the best balance between solving user problems, addressing business needs, and making things that are downright fun.
• You think for yourself and you’re willing to speak up. The best antidote against groupthink! We value independent thinking and the ability to objectively discuss multiple ideas.
• You value simplicity. It is difficult to build complex things. It is even more difficult to take something very complex, and simplify it without sacrificing functionality. We value making things as simple as possible, but no simpler.
• You value efficiency. Time is our most valuable asset and unfortunately we haven’t yet made a breakthrough with our Delorean.
