Want to work at tookapic? We're hiring!

The time has come when I'm not able to manage the site and the community by my own anymore. I'm looking for someone to help me with it.

The site and the product is being taken care of. But that's the problem. I am a product person. I'm good at building stuff. Not at marketing it. The management/marketing part can be improved a lot. That's why...

I'm looking for... a hustler - a combination of a sales, PR manager and marketer. Someone who will bring people, customers and brands to tookapic. Someone who will take over the management and growth.

Requirements:

  • very good english (written & spoken)
  • experience in sales or marketing
  • "people" person - I'm an introverted sociopath. I'm looking for the opposite to what I am

Responsibilities:

  • finding new customers for our Stock Photos
  • partnerships with brands (photography related)
  • organizing meetups and workshops
  • spreading the word about tookapic and the idea of 365 projects
  • PR

Salary:

  • to be discussed privately (but if you're looking for thousands of dollars for start - it's not for you. However, I'd be happy to pay you millions when the site grows).
  • I'm willing to share equity at some point.

--

If you want to take the best online community to the next level and make it a global sensation (we're now a local sensation ;) - let me know at hello@tookapic.com

If it's not for you, maybe you know someone who'd be perfect for this kind of job. Let me know as well.

Cheers!

ponzu Hey @JarekB as you are learning your way around Tookapic, here is a tip. On the Community page (which may be the second most used page on Tookapic), there is a prominent space reserved for "Unanswered Talks". Those are posts with 0 comments. The idea is that as users start conversations (called "Talks" on Tookapic), other users are encouraged to be first to respond and get the conversation going. Unfortunately, as conversations age and lose their importance or even validity, they still hang on the front page as long as they have 0 comments, such as this 4-year old post advertising employment opportunities at Tookapic. (Hey, maybe you actually ARE hiring, what do I know.)

You may want to look into if not changing the algorithm then at least assigning a community manager who will watch this page and "sink" irrelevant topics by commenting on them. Of course that, in turn, will put them temporarily at the top of the "Active" topics, but that should sort itself out.

Good luck!

JarekB Great idea! Certainly the unanswered Talks should "age" after some time. I put it on a list of improvement. I am a little bit worry that it is a 'Talks' algorithm, not ours (external service/software).

Kazzi hmm...
