We're passively scouting for sharp individuals to add to our team for each of the following positions. Local presence in Arizona is preferred but we're open to a remote working arrangement for the right person. If you are excited about JumpBox, have a background with Open Source and want to help reshape the software industry, we want to hear from you!
Director of Marketing
We're seeking the world's greatest technical storyteller. The person we're looking for will take the reigns as Director of Marketing for JumpBox, Inc and help us bridge the messaging gap to propel our technology to mainstream adoption. This person will possess a strong technical background (deep fundamental understanding of Open Source and the politics involved) as well as solid marketing experience and the ability to explain abstract concepts like virtualization and Open Source. This person will "reverse bridge build" from the perspective of our potential customers and develop/implement initiatives to convey the JumpBox story effectively. Essentially, we need a person who can explain a game-changing technology like the printing press on day one of its inception. Are you up for the challenge?
We are a young, cash-conscious, post-revenue startup that will pay a competitive salary for the right marketing genius. If you are this person, you'll be knowledgeable of what we do, have the following skills and experience and then you'll email us (info@jumpbox.com) something that substantiates this so we can have a conversation:
