YOU
You are passionate about the Internet – if you aren’t, you won’t like working here.
You’ll bring at least five years experience in Internet marketing management with you and you’ll have a proven ability to drive business forward while continuously improving the value of everything you and your team touches.
Working in a fast-paced team environment won’t scare you. In fact you’d be willing to say “change is my friend” and actually mean it. You present ideas clearly, concisely and always keep an eye on the business benefit of those ideas. You’ll be able to tell us how being self-directed and proactive has been key to your past success and point to ways you’ve been a creative problem-solver and communicator up and down organizational hierarchies.
If you have experience with B2B or channel marketing it will be a strong asset to you in this job.
You could very well have a college diploma or university degree in marketing, communications, or business but you’ve probably learned more from reading and writing blog and Twitter posts than from those degrees. In fact, if you don’t have an active blog, twitter feed and other social media outlets for your passion for the Internet you’ll have a hard time convincing us you’re right for this gig.
THE GIG
You’re the brain and heart of everything that happens in marketing and communications at Tucows. You engage with your team to develop goals for and then implement projects in the four key areas we see as essential for marketing this century:
