Careers

Join us early

Sparkline & Co is a commercial build partner for PE portfolios. We turn the value creation plan’s commercial targets into weekly action, with a working system each portco owns. We’re making our first hires.

How we work

Inside the business, not beside it

With the sales team

We build live with the people who will use the system, in the tools they already have. You’ll spend real time with reps, sales leaders and operating partners.

Same blueprint, built to fit

Every build starts from our blueprints and is made for how that business sells. You’ll shape the blueprints as much as the builds.

Judged on results

Success is a sales team that uses the system every week, and progress against the plan that the board can see.

Open role

Forward deployed engineer, go-to-market

  • Full time
  • Paris, London or Abu Dhabi
Apply for this role

You’ll build the system each portco runs on: connecting its CRM and other tools, shaping its data, and shipping the modules its sales team uses every week. You’ll work alongside the team, not from a ticket queue.

What you’ll do

  • Connect the portco’s CRM, ERP and other tools, and build the data model behind the system
  • Build and ship modules across Find, Plan, Engage, Win and Grow, starting from our blueprints
  • Use AI and data services where they save the sales team real time
  • Sit with reps and sales leaders to see how they work, then make the system fit
  • Measure how it’s used, and keep improving what’s live

What you’ll bring

  • Several years building data products, integrations or internal tools that people use every day
  • Strong Python and SQL, and hands-on work with at least one major CRM
  • At ease building with Claude Code or an equivalent AI coding harness, and reviewing what it writes
  • Ease working directly with sales teams, in their language rather than yours
  • You take a build from the first conversation to the team using it

Open role

Senior engagement manager

  • Full time
  • Paris, London or Abu Dhabi
Apply for this role

You’ll run our engagements from the diagnostic to a live system: the relationship with the operating partner and the portco’s leadership, the plan, and the change in how the sales team works.

What you’ll do

  • Lead diagnostics: score the business across Find, Plan, Engage, Win and Grow, and size the system it needs
  • Turn the value creation plan’s commercial targets into the scope of each build
  • Run each engagement week to week with the portco’s leadership and our build team
  • Work with the sales team until the system is part of how they sell every week
  • Report progress against the plan to operating partners and boards

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in value creation, strategy consulting, commercial due diligence or B2B sales leadership
  • Time spent with PE-backed businesses and their operating partners
  • Equally at ease in a board meeting and with a sales team
  • Structured and numerate, and comfortable with data, even if you don’t write code
