Alloy Partners is a venture builder that partners with leading organizations and entrepreneurs to unlock growth and transformation through startup creation. Venture building has the potential to address society’s biggest problems. We believe the world needs more new companies to tackle these global issues. Launching new startups with scaled organizations enables them to address those challenges head-on.

We are seeking an Independent Board Member for our company, Fieldist. Fieldist has developed a voice-activated field sales enablement platform and is starting with the Agri-Food industry as its first target market. Fieldist helps field sales reps do their daily sales activities more easily, conveniently, and effectively. Their product, Fieldist Scribe, leverages Generative AI to enable sales reps to do a better job taking care of their customers; it’s like having a personal executive assistant on speed dial 24/7. Scribe is not a CRM, it’s a sales enablement tool designed for and by field sales reps that can sit alongside or on top of a corporate CRM. For Sales Management, Scribe facilitates the capture of tacit customer information, minimizing the impact of lost data and relationships during employee turnover. Fieldist brings together several existing technology components in a unique and integrated way to empower field Sales Reps while simultaneously capturing key tacit information.

As the founders work to bring their product to market, you will use your network to make introductions to potential customers and investors and help to build conviction in the market. You will use your network and position in the market to support the founders with their go-to-market strategy and customer acquisition.

What You'll Do:

• Serve as an independent board member and help the founding team to shape corporate strategy and company vision while building conviction in the market, with investors, and customers
