Percolate Brand Strategist (plus Other Jobs)

Percolate is hiring a brand strategist and several other positions, offering mid-level salary with equity and an iPad reward for successful referrals.
[Editor's Note: I try not to do these often, but since lots of you are from in and around the marketing industry I thought I'd post this job here as well.] We're hiring a brand strategist at Percolate (amongst other positions). The role isn't to be a planner in the way you would be in an agency, but rather to take those same skills and help onboard clients, help them understand content opportunities/how to use Percolate best and help build out products that can help systematize parts of the brand's content strategy. Basically we're looking for someone who really understands how brands work, isn't afraid to go in front of a client and present and has a mind for making products (which is essentially about looking at what you're doing by hand and thinking about how to translate that into something that can be done repeatedly by computers). This is a pretty good job for someone who has worked at an agency and wants to go try something different. I don't want someone so senior that they've forgotten how to dig in and actually do work (not that there's anything wrong with that, but we've all run into those folks and they're not so helpful to have around). It's a fulltime gig. I'd say the salary is mid-level, but it also includes equity (like all jobs at Percolate). While I'm here and talking about jobs I should also mention that we're looking for a few other positions as well and if you recommend someone for any of these and they get hired I'll buy you an iPad (this is a NoahBrier.com offer only, so make sure you mention it):
  • Frontend developer (jr.): We're looking for a second frontend developer to join the team. Someone who really knows their way around javascript, html and css.
  • Backend developer: If you know someone who writes good code we want to talk to them. We do our stuff in Python, but if they're awesome we'll talk.
  • Sales: We're looking for people who can go in and help us tell the story of Percolate and really help us sell. We're building an awesome team and a great culture around sales. I need to write a whole blog post about this, but watching the sales team build out their processes is a pretty amazing thing.
If any of this sounds like you (or someone you know) please hit me up either on my contact page or via jobs@percolate.com.
