The Team

Your Manager

Hi, I’m Margaret, the Manager of our Onboarding team here at Smokeball.  My goal is to make sure the team has everything they need to provide our clients with the best experience while going through an Onboarding.  As the manager, I meet with my team regularly to coach, discuss client issues & wins, as well as updating and upgrading our processes.  I also work collaboratively with our cross-team leaders to make sure the teams are aligned for the best client experience we can provide, especially at our handoff points.  I have lived in Chicago for the past 15 years, and I love the foodie scene and that we get to experience all the seasons (midwest is best!).


Teammate

Trey Scott: Hi, I'm Trey! and I'm part of the Onboarding Team at Smokeball. We're a close-knit team of dedicated, passionate client success professionals that encourage and support each other as we work toward our goal of providing exceptional client experiences. As an Onboarding Specialist I get to guide clients as they first start out with Smokeball, help them to maximize their usage and see their productivity increase as they do. The most rewarding part about being an Onboarding Specialist is when you can take an over-worked, under-billed law firm, and watch the stress fall off as Smokeball helps them get more time back in the day while billing far more than before! I am from Wenatchee, Washington and when I'm not working, you'll likely find me hiking at one of our many trails, at a local hot spot restaurant, or in my kitchen trying my hand at cooking the latest food fad.

Life at Smokeball

  • Great Culture: We’ve been named a 'Best Place to Work' five years in a row. For us, caring is not optional and we have an ongoing commitment to building a workplace where our people feel valued and collaboration flourishes.
  • Work-Life Balance: 20 vacation days, 7 sick days, 3 reboot days, 11 paid holidays, birthday off, volunteer time, and more! 
  • Career Growth: Smokeball believes in investing in our own people and promoting from within. Our own President started at Smokeball as an Account Manager!
  • Benefits: Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage. 401(k) match, monthly wellness stipend, generous parental leave.
  • The Office: The kitchen is stocked with breakfast items, snacks, and beverages, and we have plenty of games to help you relax (ping-pong, billiards, pinball). We also offer weekly catered lunch and free monthly massages provided by a licensed massage therapist!
