Note: This post was created and published in May 2022. Corinna is still working as a manager in our Solution Consulting team.

Corinna joined Funnel in February 2019 when she moved from Germany to start her position as a Product Specialist. Her journey with Funnel has continued and she has been the Manager of the Solutions Consulting team based in Stockholm since 2021. In this blog post, Corinna talks about her journey and the Solution Consulting team.

Why did you choose to work for Funnel?

I chose between a job in Hamburg and relocating to Stockholm to work at Funnel. Previously I had worked at larger organizations but I felt excited about the position and the team was great.

What is your favorite aspect of working at Funnel?

It is hard to pinpoint just one aspect of the working culture but I want to highlight the cross-team collaborations that were new to me, and the opportunity to pursue one’s own ideas. Another cultural aspect is the role of the managers at Funnel. They work as mentors and as real role models. Their transparency and guidance inspire and there is always room for feedback from all parties.

What would you say is special about your team?

The team today consists of smart, friendly, and kind people, located in Stockholm, Dublin, and London. It is important for us to collaborate daily, be it through knowledge sharing or through discussing customer challenges within the team or on Slack. In Stockholm and Dublin, the team works from the office at least four fixed days a week, which was brought up by the team since we missed working together and interacting with one another at the office. It gives the opportunity to solve problems together, drop in and out of different conversations, and grow by thinking together. That is how I would describe my team, as a knowledge hub. We pick each others’ brains, reach out when help is needed, and everyone brings something to the team.

What is it like to be a Solutions Consultant at Funnel?

It is a diverse role, complex, and highly demanding. You have to love data and be curious about solving technical challenges but also enjoy interacting with people. As Solutions Consultants, we educate prospects and customers about Funnel and share best practices of adjacent tools, such as visualization tools, ad platforms, and data warehouses. Our holistic approach provides huge value to our customers. Within Funnel, we collaborate with many teams, such as Customer Success, and Sales but also with Product, Design, and Dev.  We provide customer insights about product usage and any new trends or issues. 

Who are you looking for in your team?

We are looking for someone with consumer-facing experience, who enjoys interacting with people, but also someone who is data-driven and curious. Someone with previous experience and interest in tech and SaaS is beneficial. It is a bonus if that person speaks more than English, preferably German or Swedish. I also want to highlight the team spirit, that we do more than just work together. We might be considered geekier than other teams at Funnel, but we are a welcoming international team that likes each other not only as colleagues but as people.
