Media Buyer Position In NYC

Last week Greg Yardley pointed me to a site the startup he's working at created for a job position they're looking to fill. Before I give you the job description, I'll give you a bit of bg on the company and who you'd be working with. First off you'd obviously be working with Greg Yardley, a well connected guy in the area of shopping search. Secondly you'll be working with Seth Goldstein, a well respected entrepreneur in his own right with a track record of success. Seth's created a startup in NYC and already assembled a highly talented team of professionals with the goal of builing a highly profitable online business using lots of Web 2.0 technology. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the business model will help pretty much every person that uses the internet.

Greg wanted me to also point out that the position will likely include salary plus bonuses based on actual performance. Basically, if you're a geek, love marketing and know you know your stuff and wish you were getting paid based on how much money you save customers and make your current employers, then this is the job for you.

Here's a snippet of the job description, enjoy...

We are looking for:

* Ability to turn lots of data into a few great ideas
* Lots of experience purchasing keywords and banners
* Deep respect for organic listings
* Strong relationships with publishers (and an interest in leveraging their APIs)
* Active subscriber to RSS feeds (and/or publisher of them)
* Willingness to try anything in order to improve conversion (yes, anything!)
...

* Are you bored buying keywords for others?
* Are you a hedge fund trader trapped in the body of a media buyer?
* Is your Fantasy Baseball team more challenging than your day job?

In Greg's own words...

"This job gives the individual media buyer a great deal of autonomy, and will compensate the media buyer based on their effectiveness. It's for people confident they know how to generate a high ROI."
