How to be successful in this role:
We are looking for someone that can work closely with our Head of Marketing and move quickly. You must crave feedback and be willing to work open and honestly. You must be willing to roll up your sleeves and do the work. You will succeed if you have a startup mentality of simply getting things done. If you are looking for a relaxed 9-5, please back away slowly. If you are insanely bright, hard working, humble, and looking to build a career with an exciting and fast-growing software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, this is for you.
