Caitlyn Parker (she/her)
Automation Sales Executive ● Sales
Remote
“In terms of growth, this is now my second role after one year at Opentrons. I would say there is ample room for growth in many departments and roles. Everyone here comes with a range of experience and the team is so diverse. I get to work with some amazing scientists without doing the actual science. I love that I get to stay deep within my field, helping to advance research and working with my customers. My favorite memory so far was the week of on-site training for the Opentrons Flex launch. It was a blast! I loved getting to meet my coworkers in person and getting to travel to NYC.”

“Opentrons is an incredibly unique company with an impactful mission and unique set of challenges that you don’t encounter at other companies. You are constantly learning something new everyday, thinking creatively and working together as a team to accomplish a common goal. I moved here from Australia with the dream of living in New York and I couldn’t be happier working at Opentrons. I’m proud to be on a team that creates products that can make such a huge impact. I am inspired everyday and so grateful to work with such a supportive and collaborative team. Together we are designing software and products that our users love.”

“One of my favorite parts of working in a start-up is the ample opportunities to leave your mark on the company — especially when it can affect real, positive change for current and future co-workers. Through the development of employee resource groups (ERGs), we have been able to connect people across teams, business units, and from all over the globe. As a co-founder & leader of ROYGBIV, the LGBTQ+ ERG, I‘m most proud of the work we are doing for transgender employees to live their most authentic lives both at work and at home. Simply put, our north star has been to find effective ways to continuously improve the inclusivity of our company.”

Guiding Principles
Guiding Principles help us to set clear expectations and a shared understanding for “how” work gets done (desired actions, attitudes, and overall mindset). Through our 5 Guiding Principles, we can more quickly and effectively achieve our mission!
Act with Courage
Make bold decisions, speak up for what's right, and embrace risks wisely.
We speak up for what we believe is right, even if it's unpopular. When faced with a tough decision or situation, we propose a constructive pathway forward. We’re open to taking calculated risks and making mistakes because we know this is how we grow. We’re not afraid to ask questions, challenge the status quo, or suggest new ways of doing things when innovation can benefit the customer. We’re brave, but we’re also wise - we don't take unnecessary risks that could harm ourselves, our team, or the company.
Act with Empathy
Understand and respect the perspectives and feelings of colleagues and customers, and offer supportive solutions to support company culture.
In our interactions with colleagues and customers, we always try to put ourselves in their shoes. We listen to their feelings and try to understand their perspectives. When they're upset or frustrated, we don't just dismiss their feelings; we try to help them find a solution. We respect everyone's ideas, backgrounds, and feelings. We’re not just courteous; we make an effort to understand others deeply.
Be ONE TEAM
Collaborate closely with teammates, share ideas, and collectively solve problems to accelerate progress.
We are all on the same team. We identify and celebrate each person’s strengths and contributions. We work together as one, with equal parts humility and ambition. We partner across the organization to analyze needs and build innovative solutions.
Apply First Principles
Analyze problems fundamentally, innovate beyond traditional methods, and understand the core reasons behind actions to make the most impactful decisions.
Instead of blindly following old ways of doing things, we think deeply about the problem we’re trying to solve. We break it down to its basic facts or "first principles" and build solutions from there. This helps us come up with innovative ideas and not get stuck in "we've always done it this way" thinking. We believe in understanding the "why" behind actions, not just the "how". We act with intellectual honesty when we miss the mark.
Be Front-line Obsessed
Prioritize customer long-term needs, incorporate their feedback into our products, and strive to make our innovations user-friendly and accessible to drive commercial success.
Being front-line obsessed means not only understanding customer needs but also making our innovations as accessible as possible to them. We listen closely to their feedback and use it to improve our products and services. We strive to remove barriers and provide solutions that are easy to use and understand. By putting our customers first and making our innovations readily available, we contribute to advancements in the life science field and positively impact the broader scientific community.
