OpenX Technologies Company Culture & Values

What are some of the growth opportunities available to you and your colleagues? 

At OpenX, growth opportunities are abundant and diverse, catering to a wide range of professional interests and career goals. We offer certification opportunities through various partners that are instrumental for those in our industry. 

From a seller’s lens, one notable program is MEDDICC, a rigorous training course focused on sales qualification methodology. MEDDICC is designed specifically for B2B enterprise sales organizations. This methodology helps ensure that our team is focusing on the right deals and strategies to win.

In addition to certifications, I have had the privilege to participate in OpenX’s Leadership Academy and ongoing training sessions.

How does a focus on growth boost morale? 

I’ve participated in several growth opportunities that have significantly enhanced my professional development. One standout experience was completing certifications for The Trade Desk and MEDDPICC, which have been extremely beneficial to my job, providing me with advanced skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of sales qualification and digital advertising effectively.

The Leadership Academy has been another pivotal experience, equipping me with essential leadership skills and strategies and preparing me to take on more significant responsibilities within the company.

Our ongoing training sessions have also been invaluable. These sessions not only cover internal training specific to OpenX, but also provide broader industry insights. Topics like AI and cookie depreciation are particularly relevant today, helping us stay ahead of industry trends and challenges.

Additionally, the clear pathway to promotion has been a motivating factor. Working closely with management to identify growth areas and set clear career goals has provided me with a structured and supportive environment for advancement.

From an employee perspective, what advice would you give to employers interested in bolstering their growth opportunities? What are some initiatives that either work well or fall flat?

Create a structured and supportive environment for development. Start by identifying the specific skills and competencies needed for various roles within the organization. Then, offer targeted training programs and certifications that align with these needs.

It’s also crucial to provide clear pathways for career advancement. Employees should know what steps they need to take to reach the next level in their careers. Regular check-ins with management, personalized development plans and mentorship programs can help guide employees on their growth journey.

Encouraging cross-departmental collaboration and offering opportunities for employees to step out of their usual roles can also be beneficial. Team-building activities and special projects can foster innovation and help employees develop new skills. Creating a culture of continual feedback and reflection is essential.
