Our office is in midtown Manhattan, just minutes away from the BDFM, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 7, and S subway lines, and Metro North (Grand Central). Also plenty of classic midtown bars + restaurants nearby (did someone say happy hour?), and tons of stores if the urge for a shopping spree ever strikes.

An Insider's view of Spot & Tango

What are some social events your company does?

We're always trying to mix things up! Lately our events have ranged - from casual happy hours around the office, to Yankees games and bowling leagues, to big backyard BBQs in the summer and dressy holiday parties in the winter.

Shohini

Director of Strategic Operations

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I focus on all parts of a customer’s journey and therefore collaborate with many different teams. I work closely with Strategy on product launches; Finance, Operations, and CX when running promotions; and of course all areas of Marketing, whether it’s graphic design or SEO.

Jenna

Lifecycle Marketing Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

Since my first day at S&T, the team has trusted and supported me to take on important projects. Over time, that has become even more true, getting opportunities to run and support on business-critical strategic projects and important relationships.

Allie

Strategic Operations Manager

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We foster openness in our culture. Tactically, we built group discussion channels that allow everyone to post inspirations they see day-to-day. As a result, these group chats allow everyone to contribute, making their daily encounters into powerful, creative food for thought.

Jacqueline

VP of Growth

What does your typical day look like?

Every day at S&T is different, which is one of my favorite parts of the job and the company. S&T is a fast-paced start-up that allows me the opportunity to wear multiple different hats and work on various tasks cross-functionally. The projects I am working on are things that haven't been addressed previously which allows me to think critically.
