It has more than doubled revenues every year. ComScore ranks this company above all its competitors. It is back by very well known, tier-one VCs. Company has raised over $15M to date. LOCATION: Position can be located in New York City or Denver area. Client prefers someone already living within commuting distance to one of these areas, but will relocate the right candidate. COMPENSATION: Compensation package will include a significant base salary, bonus, full benefits and a strong equity play. This is a key hire. Board is willing to put together the right package for the right candidate. MANAGEMENT STYLE/CORPORATE CULTURE: Position reports to the CEO. He is a macro manager.

Need someone that can think independently, and come to him when necessary. Need someone who is self-disciplined and can hit the ground running. Candidates need to be highly effective at managing their own time and priorities. Corporate culture is very open and results oriented. Anyone can get involved in any project, but everyone has their own set of responsibilities. No rank and file. It is not how hard you work, but how much you get done. One of the more unique things about this startup, is that everyone has what they need. There is too much at stake and too much money invested. You will have what you need to be successful. If you need something, thenjust ask for it. Must have a "can do" attitude. Figure out how to get things done quickly and successfully. Must be able to work independently and on a team.
