POSITION: Director of Web Marketing. This is management position, but need
someone who will be hands-on. You will have no people reporting to you
initially. Need someone that can wear many different hats and lead by example.
Need someone with experience managing vendors. The company's business plans
calls for 30 total employees within the next year. At least 1/3 of those
employees will be in sales and marketing. Need someone who will be hands-on and
can just roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

COMPANY: Early stage technology company with about 15 employees which needs to
build up its marketing team. The company has built a mobile content delivery
platform and has a consumer facing website which is the easiest place to share
and sell mobile content. Through viral growth the company has created a great
way for big name brands targeting 18-24 year olds to reach their market via
mobile phones. The company is already generating revenues. Their growth rate is
about 30% month-over-month. Their website is generating close to three million
impressions a day on the web with more than 5 million mobile downloads per
month. This is an excellent opportunity to get in early just after the company
has closed its Series A financing.

LOCATION: Company is located in southern Florida. Prefer candidates already
living within commuting distance. However, the company will consider relocating
the right candidate. Working remotely is not an option.

COMPENSATION: Compensation will include an annual base salary in line with
experience level and market rates for a start-up company as well as equity
participation in the company. The company is willing to put together the right
package in order to bring on board the right candidate. Benefits include health
insurance and 401k.

MANAGEMENT STYLE/CORPORATE CULTURE: Currently, the position reports to the
CEO. Company will only hire someone who is a team player and does not need to
be micromanaged. Basically, the CEO prefers to agree to a set of objectives
making sure that the objectives are clearly outlined and understood by the
individual, then let the individual execute the plan. There will be frequent
and at least, weekly check points to measure and achieve success initially but
after that, as required, to set strategy and direction. Individual must be able
to go to the CEO when in need of help. CEO will only hire someone that is very
entrepreneurial and passionate with a burning hunger for success; someone with a
vision who is also coach-able. Corporate culture is very casual, open, and
honest. Team is very interested in the success of their product. Most of the
existing employees have been with the company from the early days and have
invested their own money and time into the company. They tend to act more like
a partnership. They have very blurred organizational boundaries; it is very
unstructured, but effective.


POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

-- Must currently hold (or within the last 12 months have held) a position as
Manager or Director at an Internet company and/or web-based company responsible
for brand management, public relations, lead generation, media buying, email
marketing, corporate website management and general guerilla marketing.

markets such as radio stations, independent musicians, county fairs, high
schools, colleges, and virtually any niche market that has a website with photos
and/or music. Prefer someone with experience marketing to smaller internet
content companies and/or independent music websites, photo sites, video sites,
and any internet site that has pictures or music that needs to be downloaded to
mobile phones.

-- Would like to have someone who has established a brand or repositioned one.
Would like to have someone who has experience in the 18-24 marketplace. Would
like to have someone with product marketing experience (competitive analysis,
customer feedback leading to product enhancement recommendations).

-- Must be able to write and improve the copy of the corporate website and the
consumer facing website. Need someone who can manage the external relationship
with PR while managing care and customer feeding through our artist and user
newsletters.

marketing technologies to the web.

-- Experience working in a dynamic (i.e. startup, fast paced, high growth)
environment is preferred.
