Business Development/Growth Hacker
The Role
Are you entrepreneurially minded and want to build your own business within an already successful company? Are you able to develop deep, meaningful connections that form the foundation for closing big deals? Do you have the spunk to pick up the phone and call the head of a company like Google or Facebook and pitch them a deal? Do you want to be in a position where you’re in charge of your own income stream?
If any of these speak to you then this is the opportunity you’ve been sharpening the saw for.
We are a digital advertising platform startup in hyper growth mode and is looking for someone that can not only open big doors, but close them as well.
Some of the areas in which you’ll make an impact are:
- Finding and engaging with customers (both publishers and advertisers) around the world to direct their multi-million dollar ad budgets onto our platform.
- Developing strategic alliances to create channels of distribution with other like-minded startups.
- Maintaining a pulse on what customers need and communicating those requests to the development team.
- Travelling to trade shows and conferences to learn about industry trends and meet clients/prospects face-to-face.
We offer competitive base salaries, commissions and benefits in a beautiful waterfront office space, as well as perks such as monthly team adventures, foosball, Oculus Rift, Wii, N64… the list goes on.
This position can be out of either our harbourfront Victoria, Canada office, or remote within timezones of the Americas. We would gladly assist you and your family in relocation related expenses if you are chosen for this position and decide to move. For the successful candidate that chooses to work remotely, some amount of travel to Victoria will be necessary for initial training and ongoing team interaction.
About Us
Our vision is to automate the role of media buying through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We’re starting by building a platform that unifies the media buying experience across the dozens of advertising platforms and networks on the marketplace. This will give us a rich dataset upon which to build a cognitive layer to both enrich the traffic for advertisers and develop the algorithms to achieve our vision.
