Each of our product teams include engineers, product, UX/Design, and Marketing/Business team members so that they can fully own and understand the areas of the business that they own. Team members participate in weekly innovation sessions. We work together to understand what our members need and deliver amazing products.
Everyone at the company engages regularly with our members, whether it's through one-on-one conversations, observations of use of our site, or member spotlights during our weekly all-hands. We all believe in the mission to make small businesses successful, and understanding what businesses need is the first step in building the right products to support them!

We closed our Boston office in February 2021 and went all in on remote work. Our team has gone global, with team members across North and South America, Europe, and Asia. That means that as long as you have reliable internet, you can work from anywhere!
But just because we are remote doesn't mean we don't keep in touch and have fun. Get to know your co-workers via coffee-break shuffles, game nights, lunches, and the occasional "on-sites" including fun team-building activities
At Alignable, we’re all about our members—how they think, what they need, and where we can help. In fact, tapping into the small business owner’s mindset is key for success here, and it drives our decisions from the tools we build to the articles we write.
Our core values are no different. We created them from a member perspective, so what’s important to us and what’s important to our members align. This way, it’s easy to put yourself in a small business owner’s shoes right from the get go. These are our core values.
Alignable's got you covered with industry leading benefits. Here's a sampling of some of the benefits our employees enjoy.
* We offer a variety of PPO and HMO alternatives.
* In addition to medical the company provides dental, vision, mental health, and life insurance along with opt-in short and long-term disability solutions.
* The company offers unlimited time off for its employees. Vacation time is requested and approved through the department executive and each employee is required to take 2 weeks off back-to-back at some point each year.
* We also offer paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents.
* Life Flexibility - Our core working hours are 10am-5pm Eastern Time, but we understand that life happens. Need to take the dog to the vet or attend a parent teacher conference? No problem! Our team is highly collaborative, so we need people to regularly attend stand-ups, and core meetings, but that doesn't mean you can't take the time for a walk at lunch or that dentist appointment.
* Alignable offers a 401k program
* Professional Development: employees who are interested in continuing education related to their professional roles are able to receive 100% compensation for courses taken provided course work has been pre-approved by the employees manager. We also host in-house training opportunities and book clubs where we learn new topics together.
* As a remote company, we encourage all new employees to set up their work environment to maximize their comfort and productivity. Each new hire is allocated funds to spend at their discretion to set up their space. After a year at the company, each employee receives an additional funds they can spend to continue to upgrade their space, for time sessions at remote office locations (eg. WeWork) or to have meals out with other team members.
It’s our mission to help small business owners be successful by creating an amazing platform to support this complex and important community and ensure that each and every person feels at home on Alignable. Our team reflects the diversity of the community that we support, in order to have a wider range of perspectives that will allow for a more inclusive solution. We believe that teams composed of diverse individuals make better decisions and deliver better products.
Alignable is committed to DE&I and we’ve created a three-pronged approach in place to diversify our team.
Recruiting
We’ve expanded our hiring funnel to include platforms that specifically target diverse candidates. We’ve improved our job postings and hiring process to be more inclusive so we don’t unintentionally push away diverse candidates.
Internal process
We have a mentoring program and also share information on interviewing and working together with diversity and inclusion in the forefront.
We’ve prioritized diversity in two of our company’s core values: STRONGER TOGETHER, and DIFFERENT TOGETHER work in sync to recognize and celebrate differences, while also building up stronger teams, relationships, and working habits.
We conduct agile practices of bi-weekly retrospectives to create forums for every individual to share learnings, offer challenges and changes, and celebrate each other’s contributions.
Social Impact
We’re active in clubs, groups, and networking events that encourage diverse networks. We’re partnering with colleges that have diversity groups in order to provide mentorship and speaking opportunities, and grow our incoming funnels for coops and college hires.
Our platform is a fantastic tool for social impact. We’ve brought together some amazing diversity groups for our small business owners and have actively onboarded and encouraged group leaders to drive and recruit business leaders into these groups. The discussions and networking that members experience there is meaningful, targeted, and impactful to not only these business owners, but the communities that they belong to.
