Black Line’s Future

Black Line’s Moonshot is all about our future and what we know we can achieve. We borrowed the term “moonshot” from a speech on space exploration presented by President John Kennedy in 1961. The key to Kennedy’s vision was setting clear, specific goals, with a grand purpose and timeline. His speech and vision was inspirational and gave the nation purpose and direction.

We at Black Line admire the teamwork, dedication, and hard work that went into the collective effort to achieve the first moon landing – so much, in fact that we adopted our own Moonshot – one that will propel Black Line into its future. Is it a lofty goal? Sure. But things worth the effort don’t come easy.

Black Line has 3 primary goals that comprise our Moonshot:

1. Black Line to be recognized by its employees as the best place to work
2. Black Line to be the Gold Standard in the SMB market
3. Black Line to expand into underserved markets as a recognized brand for technology services

These Moonshot goals drive our culture and provide us with a foundation to rely upon throughout our day-to-day and long-term planning.

Our Values Make Us Different

At Black Line, we don’t just have values, we live values. Candidates who embody these values will not go unnoticed.

We value our team and their contributions.

• We are happy to come to work. Every team member looks forward to the day, to doing their job, enjoys relationships with other team members, and enjoys the tasks they are called to do. Work is not a chore but an opportunity for doing something unique and finding satisfaction in a day well spent. Even is the work is not always glamorous, we attack it with gusto anyway.
• We are happy to leave. This is work/life balance in action, looking forward to leaving work and rejoining our friends, family, and community. Re-engaging with those people we care about and engaging in those things that we enjoy most. We value the opportunity to maintain control over our personal life and activities outside of work.
• We are hungry to excel. We engage the people around us in open and mutually beneficial ways, having pride in our work that translates into difference-making solutions. We spread the knowledge we have gained, seeking better ways to do things, and taking steps to make those things happen.
• We are humble to learn. We thrive on having a “student’s mind” as we eagerly look for opportunities to learn and grow in our profession and life. We are creative, inquisitive, experimental, and always developing skills and learning with purpose. Technology is always changing, and each team member understands their knowledge is not complete without openness and positivity.
• We care for our team and our clients. We work until completion, not leaving a job half-done, making sure the client is operational and the team is not left vulnerable or having to carry the load of others. We are leaders that “uplift” other Team Members, influencing them in a positive and constructive ways.
