About Us

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets by automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners, specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Simply put, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re based in San Francisco, CA, but built as a remote-first company that enables you to do your best work from anywhere. We're backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

We value diversity—in backgrounds and in experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble, and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early-stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.

• Strategic Deal Execution: Act as a value consultant on top strategic deals, engaging directly with prospective clients to uncover pain points and quantify platform impact.
• Executive Communication: Develop financial justification materials (e.g., total cost of ownership, net present value, payback period) that resonate with finance and operational leaders in the accounting industry.
• Thought Leadership: Define and evangelize best practices for value-based selling across the go-to-market team; conduct training and enablement sessions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Product Marketing and Product Management to continuously align platform capabilities to buyer value and update positioning as the product evolves.
• Customer Engagement: Collaborate directly with C-level buyers to diagnose business challenges, quantify potential value, and reinforce ROI throughout the customer lifecycle.
• Scalability: Partner with the Sales Enablement team to build playbooks, templates, and tooling to enable regional teams and partners to deliver consistent value messaging at scale.
• Continuous Improvement: Iterate on value frameworks and messaging based on customer feedback, industry trends, and new product capabilities.
