Life At Procore

What influenced your decision to join the Procore Team?

I had recently moved back from Sydney, Australia and was working remotely in Santa Barbara which left me looking for a career move that would establish my roots in the community, while expanding my knowledge in a new field. Procore came highly recommended as a rapidly expanding organization that offered growth potential in an exciting industry. I’ve worked for real estate developers the majority of my career so it seemed like an interesting transition. Being part of a company that is built on culture from the top down is a rare thing and I can say it has tremendously impacted my focus and drive in my short time with Procore.

How did you celebrate your first closed deal at Procore

Went to Ojai Valley Inn for 3 days. It was for All Hands (all company offsite) but still….

What is a fun fact about you?

I am deeply passionate about and addicted to foreign travel! I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to 29 countries and lived in 2 of them. My favorite part of traveling to a new place is experiencing the culture through food. Some of the most memorable meals took place at local markets and hawker stands, except my all time favorite restaurant which is Chin Chin in Melbourne. I would fly 30 hours round trip to eat their kingfish sashimi and twice-cooked short ribs.

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?

My husband and I recently visited our friends in Sweden. Upon our arrival, we passed security to find our friends, in full lobster suits, waiting to greet us. They had promised us a traditional lobster dinner if we made the trip, but our plane was delayed one hour. While killing time, they sat in those suits and posed with unsuspecting tourists and curious children! (See photo evidence)

In two short years, Procore Technologies grew from less than 200 employees to now over 600. How did we do it? With the help of the nine individuals who make up the Procore Recruiting Team.

Often times as the first point of interaction with potential employees, we are representatives of the Procore company values of Openness, Optimism, and Ownership. Our team is tasked with preserving and driving these values as we continue to bring extraordinarily talented people into the Procore family.

Procore is building the software that builds the world. Now with over one million users in tens of different countries, it is important we continue successfully building our team so that our customers can continue improving the world around us. Our mission is to attract, hire, and retain the best people for that job.

Like all Procorians, we are given the support and encouragement to constantly create and innovate. Our team is made up of Silicon Valley alums, local tech (think Sonos), expert agency recruiters, and even hardware retail recruiting. We’re a band of creatives with backgrounds in project management, finance, global communications, and reality tv. Playing to our strengths (and differences) allows us to bring something new and exciting to our team and company.

Sharing ideas, resources, and the occasional bottle of champagne, we are a tight-knit family with the drive and focus on making Procore the best place anyone will ever work.

What influenced your decision to join the Procore Team and what do you do?

Three factors that influenced my decision to join the Procore Team: Location, Work Culture/Energy, and Growth Opportunity (Maverick product + smart people = longevity). I process payroll for all 622 (and growing) Procorians. Track and calculate commissions, collaborate with the Sales, People Operations, and Operations Teams to keep all Procorians HAPPY!

Describe your team in 3 words.

Harmonious - We really enjoy working with each other, so much so that we attended a Salsa dancing class as a department after work!

Productive - Procorians from other departments will walk through P5 and we will hear "it's so quiet." We're really not that quiet, we're just in the zone. But we are always cracking random jokes and love happy hours on the balcony.

Robust - There are a lot of moving pieces to the Finance Team especially during the month-end close, but we support each other and work like organs to support the body of Procore.

What is your favorite Procore perk?

One of my favorite Procore perks is the MindBody Card (welcomes jokes from the Finance).

What is the best gift you’ve ever given?

I believe the best gift I've ever given was a surprise 50th Birthday trip to Maui for my Madre. She thought the plan was to enjoy a week in California, but I had tickets to Maui when she finally arrived at LAX.
