Life at Plume

At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.

We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data. 

With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day.

Overview:
Drive high-impact, cross-functional strategic initiatives with a focus on M&A, partnerships, and investments. This role partners closely with senior leadership, providing visibility into executive decision-making while shaping Plume’s growth across core markets and adjacencies.

  • Support development and execution of M&A strategy aligned to corporate objectives
  • Identify and evaluate opportunities across core and adjacent markets

  • Build relationships with startups, investors, advisors, and executives across the ecosystem
  • Partner with business units on growth initiatives and new business launches
  • Create executive-level presentations to drive strategic decisions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally across Product, Finance, and GTM teams
Qualifications
  • 5+ years in Corporate Development, Investment Banking, Private Equity, or Consulting
  • Strong foundation in financial modeling, valuation, and corporate finance
  • Experience with M&A diligence and transaction execution (integration a plus)
  • Ability to analyze complex, ambiguous datasets and generate actionable insights
  • Experience in or strong interest in telecom / technology / CSP space
  • Proven ability to influence and communicate with senior executives
What You’ll Bring/Who You Are
  • Strategic thinker with strong analytical rigor
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and unstructured environments
  • Ability to translate analysis into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Strong relationship builder across internal and external stakeholders
  • Effective communicator with executive presence and influence

Total compensation package would include: An anticipated base compensation of $190,000.00 -$240,000.00 + bonus + equity + benefits. Benefits include: a 401k plan and company match, basic life insurance, and unparalleled health, dental, vision, and other benefits and perks. An employee's base salary may depend on a number of factors including job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, and other business-related considerations.

About Plume

As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world’s largest such as Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and J:COM. 

Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume’s software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture.  

Plume is an equal opportunity workplace that maintains a continuing policy of nondiscrimination in all employment practices and decisions, ensuring equal employment opportunities for all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth or related individual conditions, medical conditions (as defined by state law), military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
