Our Company - Actabl

In looking at a job posting, it’s often hard to get a basic picture of the company profile (size, stage, structure, etc.) which is why we are sharing it with you upfront.

This helps you quickly decide and helps us focus any time we spend together on going beyond the basics.

Mission : Our mission is to empower the people that power hospitality. We’re on a journey to provide better solutions for hotel companies as the world around us evolves and changes related to using technology, finding labor, and maximizing profits.

It is important that the mission inspires you even if you haven’t worked in this space before.

• Industry : We are a hospitality company selling software as a service.
• Customers : We serve hotels - both onsite hotel operators and above-property hotel management groups.
• Team : We are a global team of 350 with a remote-first mindset. We have hubs with office space in Atlanta, Tampa, and Denver.

If you are local to these areas, you will have the option to work remotely and / or in-office.

• Structure : We are organized around the following key departments : Revenue, Customer Experience, Product, Technology & Quality, People, Finance, Business Operations & Strategy.
• Funding : We have significant investment from private equity firm ASG, which has allowed us to expand our teams and move faster in our mission to empower the people that power hospitality.

Our Valued Behaviors

• Start with People : We are in the hospitality business and hospitality starts with people. This impacts both our being and our doing.
• Being : Our default posture is kindness and warmth. We are responsible for building relationships, earning trust, and having fun.

These things are fundamental to hospitality.

Doing : We will succeed if we start with great people working as one team. We will fail if we discount the importance of people and work alone.

Empower others, speak the truth with care, and go together.

Demand Integrity : Without integrity, nothing else matters. Be trustworthy, be ethical, and be consistent whether someone is watching or not.

Demand integrity of yourself and others to build the fabric of a high-integrity organization.

Delight the Customer : We hold ourselves to incredibly high standards and understand that excellence is the product of doing a thousand small things very well.

Our job is not done until we have exceeded our customers' expectations. We aim to delight our customers in the same way our customers aim to delight their guests.

Champion Innovation : We compete in the game of change and win through innovation. Our customers have problems that are always changing and they rely on us to adapt to solve them.

Think big and then think bigger when it comes to the innovation required to tackle these problems.

Make it Happen : We apply constant, inspiring pressure to ourselves and others to get things done. We cultivate high "Hospitality Quotients" (Grit + Intelligence + Empathy) to perform better today than we did yesterday.
