Vertice is a rapidly expanding technology company on a mission to help businesses manage their growing spend on SaaS and cloud. Businesses are turning to us to gain visibility and savings on their SaaS stack and cloud spend, taking advantage of pricing insights, trend data, smart dashboards, and expert negotiators.
Founded by serial entrepreneurs, Roy and Eldar Tuvey, with a successful history of building SaaS startups, Vertice has already become one of the fastest-growing vendors in the market. Following a remarkable 7x ARR growth in 2023, we have raised a total of $51 million to date, which will fuel global expansion and drive product innovation.
We're well-positioned to achieve our mission, but we need the right people to ensure that it happens—we're looking to scale quickly but responsibly. Headquartered in London, you'll join a global company and work across talented, passionate cross-functional teams.
We all share a goal and a mission, so we move fast, we challenge conventions, and we're fluid between departments, domains, and disciplines. We find it takes a certain type of person to thrive here—low ego, doesn't settle for the status quo, collaborative, and has strong views loosely held. For the right person, this could be the ride of a lifetime!
