JumpCloud\u00ae<\/sup> Directory-as-a-Service\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> provides IT professionals with a single platform to secure and empower their workforces. Beyond that, JumpCloud is a company that values its employees and the connections they make with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even now, while the JumpCloud team works remotely, we strive to provide a place to come together and build an impactful service for our customers. We\u2019ve compiled stories from JumpCloudians across our four global locations to share what makes working at JumpCloud so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJumpCloud is a unique place,\u201d CEO Rajat Bhargava said. \u201cWe compete against some of the largest tech companies in the world to solve some very big problems. The people solving these problems are incredibly smart, and have built a cloud directory platform that is the digital backbone for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJumpCloud is by no means perfect, but that\u2019s also part of what motivates our team \u2014 to make a positive impact on an organization, on customers, and on each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aaron Wilmot, JumpCloud\u2019s vice president of People, said he\u2019s found that JumpCloudians are always willing to help one another, and they\u2019re passionate about solving real problems for real people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I started at JumpCloud I sat down with every team member who was hired before me and asked them how they describe working at JumpCloud to non-JumpCloudians\u201d Wilmot said. \u201cIt came down to three core tenets that I think are the foundation of our culture: great colleagues, transparency, and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud has three stated values, which a team of more than two dozen people came together to craft with input from across the company. Our values are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JumpCloud, we seek to help organizations connect their users to their necessary IT resources \u2014\u00a0and we build connections with one another. New employees each write \u201cuser manuals,\u201d which peers can read to learn more about their hobbies and quirks, the qualities they value in others, and the ways they like to communicate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also take breaks to have fun and form friendships. Whether we share a beer and snacks, take to the river on Tube to Work Day<\/a>, join daily plank sessions, or fawn over one another\u2019s dogs, cats, turtles, etc. in our #PawsitiveVibes Slack channel, JumpCloudians are eager to connect with each other. Even now that we\u2019ve moved to a remote-work model, we still join plank and meditation sessions virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJumpCloud’s culture is special in that people are here to work, and at the same time, a lot of great friendships are made,\u201d said Ashley Lester, Customer Success Management leader. \u201cI have a few work buddies that I can crack jokes with, and that makes the stressful and more challenging moments that much easier to get through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tyler Koltes, Sales Enablement Manager, said there\u2019s a mutual respect among employees, which leads to open and honest communication and a community of trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I started at JumpCloud five years ago there were fewer than 20 people united by the (then crazy) idea of building a fully cloud directory service,\u201d Koltes said. \u201cI believe a large portion of JumpCloud’s success can be directly attributed to the culture that we have maintained through every level of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Added Engineer Kyle Randolph: \u201cJumpCloud has an amazingly welcoming and open culture. We are constantly chasing and creating bleeding edge technologies while helping ensure personal growth for employees, which leads to working with some incredibly talented folks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JumpCloud, we reimagine directory services for the cloud era and are disrupting a multi-billion dollar market. This takes big ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Josie Judy, PR and Social Media Manager, said JumpCloudians are career-driven, passionate, and success-oriented \u2014 and they value outside-the-box thinking. Software Engineering Manager Sam Luedke added that JumpCloud has a uniquely fast-paced environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would describe JumpCloud’s culture as GO GO GO!\u201d Luedke said. \u201cFrom the CEO all the way down, everyone is focused on getting work done and delivering for customers. Everyone here is a hard worker.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Product Marketing Manager Leia Schultz said JumpCloudians move fast in service of big ideas, and they do so as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe tackle ambitious goals and move fast as we pioneer a totally new cloud directory platform,\u201d Schultz said. \u201cBut we have fun doing it, and every person \u2014 across the company and at every level \u2014 is always happy to give their time answering a question or brainstorming a project. Our culture is the best combo of hard working and kind pros who really know their stuff and bring a positive attitude to the office (whether that’s in an actual office or working remotely!). JumpCloud values authenticity, big ideas, and a teamwork-makes-the-dream-work mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also seek to improve each day \u2014\u00a0in the services we deliver to customers and in the ways we solve problems together. HR Generalist Sam Geneva said she\u2019d describe the JumpCloudian approach to problem solving as collaborative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt JumpCloud, we lean on one another for expertise, and we stay deft and adaptable in order to embrace challenges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sales Manager John Milne said employees can propose new ideas and be heard, which offers opportunities for people to help shape and grow with the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a fast-growing company with an emphasis on culture, JumpCloud offers the opportunity to grow your career rapidly while maintaining a healthy work-life balance,\u201d he said. \u201cThrough continued effort, we get better every day, and that mantra is truly shared across the company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sales Account Executive Matt Halberg said that he\u2019s been able to grow with the company and learn from his peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have so many smart, hard working, and dedicated people on the JumpCloud team, all of whom are willing to take 30 minutes out of their day to help a coworker better themselves,\u201d Halberg said. \u201cLeadership has always been transparent and I believe they truly want to build more than just a great company, they want to help individuals grow into better people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re interested in learning more about JumpCloud or joining the team, check out our Careers page<\/a> or get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" JumpCloud is disrupting a multi-billion dollar market with its Directory-as-a-Service.
