It's the week before JarFest🙌🏼, and we’ve got a stop to make first for today's #TeamTaxJar. Account Executive, Jonathan talks one of of our core values and how it's been a game changer:⁣ ⁣ 1) Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar?⁣ I'm located in sunny Tucson, Arizona 🌞, and I've been with TaxJar since fall of '19.⁣ ⁣ 2) Why is remote work important to you? ⁣ Being able to put my physical and emotional energy into work I love with a team I trust has changed everything. Building a schedule around life allows me to be the best version of myself for my family, work, friends and community.⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar?⁣ TaxJar is a team built on trust. This changes everything! Culture, teamwork, professional and personal growth. Every day I get to work with the best people I've ever had the privilege to work with, for a company that believes in and supports me, to accomplish a goal I believe in.⁣ ⁣ 4) You have a really cool fun fact. Do share!⁣ I lived in Austria 🏔for two years and joined the volunteer fire department while I was there.⁣ (He’s still certified, too!) ⁣ Check out all of our core values, and open positions at www.TaxJar.com/Jobs. We'll see you in Savannah next week! *So.close.* #JarFest11 is almost here! Want to check one out for yourself? We’re hiring👉🏼TaxJar.com/Jobs Meet Stephanie, our Marketing Automation Manager who talks commutes 🚙 , comfort and cafeterias this week in #TeamTaxJar: 1. Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar?⁣ I’m based in Durham, NC and I joined TaxJar in September 2019.⁣ ⁣ 2. Tell us a little about why remote work is meaningful to you. ⁣ Day to day, remote work means I get to skip the headaches of a typical office. I have a zero minute commute which means I start the day relaxed and get more time back in my day to do with as I please. I can wear whatever makes me comfortable, which means I get to spend more time focused on my work and less time worrying about how others perceive my appearance.The peace and quiet of my home office gives me the freedom to do deep work without the interruption of a typical office with coworkers who keep "popping in" for a quick chat. My kitchen is my cafeteria which means I get to save money, eat healthier, and there is guaranteed to be something on the menu each day that I'll love. Every day is "bring your pet to work day." Most of all, I get to work alongside an amazing team who is as invested in #remotelife as I am, and makes it their mission to communicate efficiently and work effectively so we can all sign off each night proud of what we've accomplished with our day.⁣ ⁣ 3. Why TaxJar?⁣ When my husband and I started our own side business, I had so many questions about sales tax and wasn't able to get the answers I needed from the Dept. of Revenue. TaxJar's blogs and online guides became a valuable resource to me as I learned to navigate the online goods retail space. It wasn't long before I signed up and became a customer. I've been Team TaxJar ever since!⁣ ⁣ 4. Care to share a fun fact?⁣ My husband and I are #debtfree and did our Debt Free Scream on 9/24/2018 live on the @DaveRamsey show. My photos highlight our #debtfreejourney.⁣ ⁣ You can check what else our team is up to on our blog life.taxjar.com and if you want to join us, our current openings are on our jobs page at TaxJar.com/jobs Just two weeks 😆 'til our #remoteteam will be in lovely @visitsavannah 🌳 for #JarFest11. We'll plan for the year ahead, and have some (okay, ✨a lot✨) of fun while we're at it. Want a peek 👀 ? Stay tuned here. Want to join us at a JarFest? Check out the jobs page for our latest openings and maybe we'll see you at JarFest 12! 👉🏼http://TaxJar.com/Jobs #TeamTaxJar love our #PetsofTaxJar. Today we head up to Vermont ⛄️ to spend time with QA Engineer, Haney and his three Alaskan Malamutes to talk just how meaningful #RemoteLife is when it comes to family:⁣ ⁣ 1) Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar?⁣ Northwestern Vermont, 40 minutes south of the Quebec border and an hour and a half southeast of Montreal. Real far up there haha. I've been with TaxJar since early July of 2019. ⁣ ⁣ 2) Why is remote work important to you?⁣ For me, I needed to work remotely when my mom was diagnosed with multiple types of cancer and needed frequent hospital visits, surgeries, and eventually, chemotherapy. She lost her ability to drive because of all her medical needs, and needed a part-time caregiver as well as a chauffeur. My mom and her amazing doctors beat cancer and now she's doing great! But she still needs some assistance so remote works for me because it lets me support myself while still supporting her. ⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar?⁣ I joined because of the remote nature. I stay because of the culture. This is an amazing company with a lot of amazing people throughout. Everyone is quick to help, and not quick to judge - I don't and never will know everything there is to know about software but it doesn't matter here because with everyone's amazing talents we always pull together.⁣ ⁣ 4) Fun Fact?⁣ My wife and I run-a purely for fun-dog sled team of three Alaskan Malamutes! Currently only two are pulling as our newest addition to the family is still too young, but he will soon be in harness and flying down the trail as well! Their names are Sigurd, Zombie and Slash :) You can see more about them at @darkwood_sleddogs ⁣ ⁣ Want a peek at more #PetsofTaxJar? Stay tuned here and visit TaxJar.com/Jobs for our latest openings (maybe we'll see one of your fur 🐶 🐱 🐴 , feather 🐦 or scale 🦎 kids on our screens real soon)! This week #TeamTaxJar is headed to sunny 😎 Southern California where we’re talking paintball, cruising and #RemoteLife with Chris, our Director of Demand Gen and Channel at TaxJar. 1) Where's home, and how long have you been with TaxJar? I live in the San Diego, CA area and have been with TaxJar a little over a year.⁣ ⁣ 2) How has remote impacted your life?⁣ Southern California commute times are measured in hours sometimes. TaxJar has helped me to avoid all that. It's a huge quality of life improvement. TaxJar is also flexible enough that you don't miss out on all those little moments in life--like kids coming home from school--that help you be present and engaged in the relationships that mean the most to you in life.⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar?⁣ The number one reason I chose to leave a big company job and come to TaxJar was the people. TaxJar has a better work environment than I have ever worked in before. I also think there is a huge opportunity in front of us to help companies grow and make the lives of those that deal directly with sales tax compliance easier.⁣ ⁣ 4) Give us a fun fact!⁣ I used to travel the country playing paintball with a team and have caught the cruise ship bug recently... Mexico and Alaska done (with the Caribbean and British Isles up next)!⁣ ⁣ Check what else the team is up to this winter on our Life Blog at life.taxjar.com (or click the link in our profile).
