JD Soteldo

Senior Software Engineer

A Supportive Culture

Fostering New Talent and Projects

JD Soteldo knows all about new. As a new hire on the Keep Calm Carrier On team, one of his responsibilities is to help develop new products. But with the support he’s gotten from his team, he’s never felt like the odd one out. There were unfamiliar processes to learn, people to meet and company values to internalize, but onboarding felt easy. “It’s been exciting to learn about all of the systems and standards in place that help ensure the team is always deploying the best code possible,” he said. Two months in, he’d already made an impact by helping the company launch a new insurance carrier.

I never had that feeling of being the new guy or like I was on the outside looking in.

Brieanna Baron-Legendre

Product Manager

Location, location, location

A flexible culture — no matter where you are

Simply Business wants its employees to work from wherever they feel at home. For Brie, that's in the quiet corner of Connecticut, a little more than an hour south of Boston. Thanks to a virtual-friendly culture and tools like Slack, Zoom and Jira, she doesn't miss a beat in her ability to support a global team or form bonds with coworkers. For Brie, working from home has increased productivity and professional growth because she can repurpose commuting time to focus on customer needs and developing as a new product manager.

Simply Business empowers their employees to work in a way that works for them. Hybrid working has enabled me to transition into a global product management role, something that truly would not have been possible if I was constantly commuting in and out of the city.

Debs Holland

Senior Vice President of Growth

New opportunities

What does a company’s growth mean for employees?

After building the U.K.'s growth team, Holland is using her expertise to do it again in the United States. As the business expands its products, partnerships and customer base, her team is growing too, with new roles emerging regularly. "We’re at the start of our journey and there is very much a sense of possibility," she said. "Employees have support to develop their talent and the freedom to move the business forward."

In a growing business, it’s important to regularly stop and think whether we are organized in the best way to meet the challenges of the coming months and whether our people have the opportunity to grow.

What's going on with work from home and return to the office?

More and more, people are talking about going back to the workplace and the new normal. At Simply Business, we’re thinking of it as a Better Normal. That means offering our SBers more choice and greater flexibility to work in a way that’s best for their particular job, their teams, and their lives.

We’re shifting to a hybrid working model, so we’ll have employees working virtually and in the office at any given time.

We’re also aware there are times when working together in person is the best way to get things done. We expect our SBers to connect in their hubs (that’s what we call our offices) most likely four times a month. That said, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we expect all SBers and their teams will find the operating rhythm that works best for them.

If you’re wondering what it might be like for you at Simply Business, our Talent Acquisition is happy to answer any questions. In fact for them, it’s perfectly normal.

Most of our interviews will still take place over Zoom (however, depending on the role, there may be the opportunity/expectation to meet members of the team in-person). If it looks like you could be a good fit for the role, we’ll ask you to interview on Zoom – you’ll need WiFi and a laptop, or a 4G-enabled smartphone. If you don’t have access to either of these, or you need support with your application, get in touch with us at [email protected]. Similarly, please email us with any questions or if you want to pause your application for a bit – we’ll be happy to keep you updated on future opportunities like the one above.
