An Insider's view of Klaviyo

What's something quirky about your company?

There are a lot of quirky things about Klaviyo - from our love for Nicolas Cage to our need to use gifs and emojis in any and all communications. But the quirkiest, or most unexpected, thing about Klaviyo is how kind, genuine, and caring each person is here. Every day you’ll have the opportunity to work with folks that truly care.

Senior New Hire Specialist

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

One of the great things about working at Klaviyo is that I get to work with amazing people from across the organization. While working in Finance isn’t intuitively a role that involves a lot of collaboration - Klaviyo’s finance team has regular interactions and team syncs with Sales Ops, Customer Support and the People Team!

Tai

Senior Billing Specialist

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We give people the means to learn, be it an unlimited budget for books or whatever is going to make you better. We’re going to give engineers the ability to go to conferences of their choice — this is a deeply personal thing that people need to be passionate about and be able to learn.
