Yipit Wants a Director of Content as Employee 8

Yipit

Yipit is a venture backed, NYC start-up that gathers thousands of daily deals and recommends them based on where you are and what you like.

We are building a lot more than a Daily Deal aggregator. Deals are just a catalyst for the seismic shift in local spending: it’s moving online.

We are building the way people will buy their local goods and services online. You will be responsible for accurately and comprehensively getting that local goods and services inventory on our platform.

We’re growing very quickly and now aggregate over 500 daily deals sites in 32 different cities. That represents over 50,000 local businesses that are learning a new way of marketing and interacting with their customers. Our goal is to aggregate content in over 300 cities in the next year.  We are looking for a Director of Content to lead that expansion.

If you’re an ops person looking to join the startup world, this is the perfect job for you. You will learn exactly how startups work as a core member of our team. We need someone with intense focus and creativity as we scale our company.

This is a senior management position, requiring you to budget and deliver on objectives. As the leader of Yipit’s global expansion you will:

  • Work directly with company founders to report on key metrics and set strategy
  • Launch hundreds of new markets
  • Architect and streamline workflows such as data entry, partner negotiation, source maintenance, quality control, and invoicing
  • Oversee quality assurance and integrity of site content
  • Hire A-level talent to support you
  • Manage your team and provide performance feedback

Your background should demonstrate that you are truly exceptional across these three areas:

  • organization and planning
  • attention to detail
  • ability to manage others

Compensation includes equity, highly competitive salary and excellent health benefits.

Interested candidates should email their online presence or resume to contentdirector@yipit.com. Given the nature of this position, we expect it to be very competitive, but we promise to look at every individual and get back to you quickly.

    Looks like a great position for the right person. Congratulations on the growth of Yipit and the new round of funding. The way these daily deal sites are popping up in all types of verticals I could see the aggregators who organize the deals becoming even more popular than the sites themselves in the near future.
