Charlie needs new shoes!

Professional athletes, including ones from the NBA and NFL, are looking to connect with sponsors. Want to help?

Assetize is looking for a Business Development Lead to pursue relationships with large and small brands.  These brands would act as sponsors for tier 1 athletes and their social accounts.

Here’s why it’s a job you’ll love:

• Assetize is in the hottest space around – it’s the intersection of a multi-billion dollar industry (advertising) and the next billion dollar company (Twitter).  You could be the one defining how this space evolves
• Wicked new offices at the corner of Yonge St. & King St. in downtown Toronto
• Surrounded by brilliant minds, and we don’t mean us.  The office is shared with a VC, a YCombinator-type incubator program, numerous other startups, and a mobile consulting company that’s constantly wow’ing the world with their apps. The place oozes brainpower, while still being fun-loving
• Base salary, and performance bonuses

Here’s what you’ve got to be, to make the cut:

• Relentless. We need to get things done, and the only thing that matters is results. You’ve got to be ok with hearing ‘no’ from a brand 9 times, and still call a 10th time so they say ‘yes’ to you out of exhaustion
• Energetic beyond belief. People should be sick of being around you first thing in the morning, but miss you when you’re not around
• Flexible. We’re a startup, so chances are you’ll be doing more than just what’s on this post
• Willing to play the high risk / high reward game that startups live everyday

You should be ready to interview and start immediately.  Apply by emailing me your resume and a 2 paragraph blurb about why you’d be great for the job. Here’s a tip: the blurb carries as much weight as the resume, so make it count. Resumes state facts about your past jobs. We want to know why you’d be awesome for this job.  Email address: saif at assetize.com.

Know someone who’d be great for the gig? Pass it along and win $100 if we hire them. Or we’ll regift something that we didn’t like from Christmas.  Kidding mom, I loved that sweater! <sigh>

Cheers,
Saif

… To Assemble a Chair? Answer: 3

We are happy to announce that Assetize has hired three new interns!

John, Valentin and Samir (L to R) joined us this week, and have already started cranking away on our current site. Pretty soon, they will be working on our top-secret project as well.

Thanks to all who applied, and keep checking our blog. We plan to make some more hires come September.

Talk soon,

Saif

Rockstar Developer

Launch fast? Check.

TechCrunch and NYT coverage? Check.

Keep getting better? Check… but we can always move faster.

That’s where you come in.  Assetize is looking for a Rockstar Web Development Intern to work with them over the next 2 months and build out some really cool features.  Stealing a page from many other startups’ playbooks, the salary is zero (which, coincidentally, matches our salary!). You do, however, get the following:

* Awesome experience working for a startup. You can even put “Rockstar” as the job title in your resume
* Exposure to other brilliant minds – we share our office space (at Yonge & King in Toronto) with many other startups and a VC firm
* Participate in weekly mentoring sessions by industry experts in technology, funding, legal, PR, marketing and HR
* Meet a who’s who of experts at our weekly socials
* First dibs on paid internship and full-time opportunities in the future

Here’s what you need to qualify:

* Your own laptop
* Experience in web development; CakePHP and Web Design skills are a plus
* A drive to change the world (that’s why we’re here)

If you don’t have all of the above, drop us a line anyway.  We can try and figure something out.

This is the most fun we’ve ever had working, and we’re sure you will feel the same way – especially if you’ve always thought about starting something of your own and want to live the entrepreneur life for a few weeks.

If this sounds like your type of thing, email us at saif [at] assetize dot com.  As a start, also tell us what 2-3 features you think Assetize should add to its current site. Remember: our goal is to help people make money off their social (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) accounts.

Talk soon,
Saif
