Job description

Sourgum is transforming the $100B+ waste and recycling industry through cutting‑edge technology that makes waste removal simpler, smarter, and more cost‑effective. Our innovative haulsourcing platform powers high‑quality waste and recycling services for businesses at significantly lower costs—saving our customers an average of 20%. Leveraging proprietary datasets, an advanced operating system, and a carefully curated network of 5,000+ trusted vendors, we help companies of all shapes and sizes streamline their operations while advancing sustainability efforts.

We’re a fast‑growing, venture‑backed company (just closed our Series A!) on a mission to modernize an outdated industry — and we’re just getting started. Our investors include Spark Capital, Founder Collective, Suffolk Technologies, 186 Ventures, and River Park Ventures, the same funds that backed category‑defining companies like Slack, Anthropic, Uber, Venmo, and Amazon Pharmacy.

If you’re driven by the opportunity to build something groundbreaking, we’d love to meet you.

• Assist Account Executives in gathering information from vendors to relay back to clients, facilitating smooth communication and project coordination.
• Provide support to the Account Executive team in various administrative tasks and projects as needed.
• Stay informed about industry trends, regulations, and best practices to better serve clients and contribute to the company’s growth.
• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date records for every customer you manage.

Requirements
