kbspVC Portfolio Company, Crowdtwist is Hiring
One of kbs+p Ventures portfolio companies, Crowdtwist, is looking to attract and hire sales folks to join their team. For those who aren’t familiar with Crowdtwist, it’s a social loyalty platform that bridges the paid-owned-earned media ecosystem. I’m extremely bullish on them because they bridge the evolving media ecosystem and bring social data into our CRM and data-driven programs.
Mashable has a nice article titled, “Why Social Accountability Will Be the New Currency on the Web” and it highlights Crowdtwist amongst others. You can start to see why their platform is so powerful. And if that doesn’t convince you, they are on the Top 25 Startups to Watch list by Business Insider.
I was their lead mentor coming out of TechStars NYC and have been involved with them ever since. So of course I’m biased about them.
The type of candidates we are looking for:
1. Must have background in selling platforms and solutions, not just IAB compliant banners. You must be able to demonstrate that you’ve sold platforms and can handle getting to consensus with multiple parties including IT, social media teams, and media teams.
2. Must have at least 4+ years in sales background, preferably within a venture backed or publicly traded digital media or information technology company.
3. Entrepreneurial passion and fire a must. We want to find hustlers who like being out of the office more than in it. By being out of the office, we mean knocking on doors of Fortune 500 clients and their respective agencies.
If you know of someone who is interested, or you might be, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I have to be strict on filtering out per the above 3 filters, and will only pass along candidates who have demonstrated this. You can reach out to me here.
Thanks!
