Our Company
The workplace has undergone a complete transformation. Historically, occupancy was consistent; everyone worked in-office five days per week. But post-pandemic, occupancy is inconsistent, unpredictable, and dynamic, as work has become more flexible than ever before. To make decisions with confidence, workplace, CRE, and facilities management leaders need a true understanding of how and when their spaces are used.
VergeSense is the company behind the world’s first and only Occupancy Intelligence Platform. Over 200 companies across 45 countries and 100M sqft rely on occupancy intelligence to make confident, fact-based optimization decisions to improve employee experience and decrease costs. VergeSense customers use our platform, which is built on a foundation of the industry's most accurate occupancy sensors, to right-size their portfolio, validate space planning and designs, optimize cleaning operations, and ensure their teams can always find spaces to work.
Our Philosophy
We like to move and iterate fast and believe in the outsized impact that a single team member can have on a company. Our core philosophy is simplicity — from product design to engineering architecture to our day-to-day working styles. Our team is experienced (previous successful exit in the IoT space), with a commitment to building an industry-leading product and an open, communicative, and diverse team culture.
The Opportunity
VergeSense is hiring for a Business Development Representative (BDR) for the APAC region, based in Singapore where our APAC team is located as well. BDRs are responsible for initiating the first phases of acquiring new customers.
