Small team, unusually direct work.
We are an independent software reseller in New York. The work is advising people on licensing they find confusing, and being straight with them about it — including when the honest answer costs us the larger sale.
What the job actually is
Someone emails describing a problem — users hitting an error, a renewal landing next month, a tenant nobody has audited in two years. Within four business hours they get a written recommendation naming the license that fits, the cheaper alternative where one exists, and the price.
That is the whole job, done well. It needs someone who will read the publisher's actual terms rather than guess, and who is comfortable writing "you are over-licensed, renew fewer seats than last year" to a customer who was ready to spend more. See how an order runs for the full sequence.
How we work
- Written, not verbal. Recommendations go out in writing with the reasoning attached, because a customer should be able to forward it to whoever signs off without translating it first.
- No procurement theatre. No discovery calls, no qualification forms disguised as demos, no quotas that reward selling someone the wrong edition.
- Say what you do not know. Where a question is genuinely the publisher's to answer, we say so rather than guess. That applies internally too.
- Small enough that the work is visible. There is no layer between doing good work and anyone noticing.
What tends to work here
Licensing knowledge is learnable and we would rather teach it than screen for it. What is harder to teach:
- Writing clearly enough that a finance director and a sysadmin both understand the same email
- Reading terms carefully — the difference between a User CAL and a Device CAL is somebody's compliance problem
- Being comfortable saying no, or saying "that is cheaper elsewhere"
- Following through on the unglamorous part: the renewal date nobody is watching
If you have worked in IT procurement, at a CSP partner, in an MSP, or as the person who inherited the licensing spreadsheet at your last job, you already know more of this than you think.
Open roles
Two roles are open. For either, email your resume to contact@everupinc.com with a few lines on what you have worked on. A person reads it and a person replies.
Developer
OpenBuild and maintain the license tracking platform — the vault, renewal alerts and idle-seat reporting — and this website. Small codebase, no framework churn, and you would own real surface area rather than a slice of a ticket queue.
Email your resumePerformance Marketer
OpenOwn acquisition end to end: search, paid, and the quote funnel. Every lead arrives through one form and gets a written reply within four business hours, so the feedback loop between a campaign and a real conversation is unusually short.

Neither role quite you? We would still rather hear from someone good at the wrong moment than not hear from them. Send your resume to contact@everupinc.com and say what you would want to do here.
No cover letter template, no application portal, no "tell us about a time you demonstrated synergy". A few honest paragraphs is the right length. If you want a sense of how we write before you do, the FAQ and how our pricing works are representative.
