NOTE: EMAIL ADDRESS WAS NOT WORKING ON LAST POSTING DUE TO OUTAGE AT ISP. PLEASE RESUBMIT AS NEEDED

Don’t think you’re a Marketer? OR know you’re a great one? We want to chat with you.

We’re seeking a full-time gritty, practical outbound marketer, who’s smart, innovative, and can write, who doesn’t like the rule-heavy culture of large companies, and who looks at our products and what we do and says “gosh, that’s great!”…

…and who wants to help us convey that message to other people in a method sufficiently compelling as to get them to buy software from us. (OK, yes, we’re hiring you to an outbound marketing role).

You will report directly to VP Marketing, in our small (but rapidly expanding) marketing team. We're a C-round, venture-backed, 50-person startup, with dramatically increasing marketing needs as we’ve become allied with some large partners and our sales (and sales force) have increased. We reward creativity and execution generously. Come join us.

This position offers the opportunity for you to work with and learn from experienced managers, each with mover 15 years of experience building and running some of the best-known companies in Silicon Valley (think VMware, Oracle, 3Com, EMC). You will also have a meaningful equity stake in a firm that is at the cutting edge of virtualization technology, one of the hottest spaces in the industry. This job is perfect for somebody who is looking for the action and growth available in a hot startup, combined with the safety of great venture backing and the knowledge you’ll gain transferrable knowledge, a great personal network, and an exit strategy that’s much lower risk than “get bought by Google or die”.

Brilliance, high energy, writing / powerpoint abilities, and some technical understanding matter more than experience – we’ll fill in the marketing part on the fly.

Brilliance: don’t wait to be told what to do. Come tell the VP you’ve done what was asked, and you also thought up a better way to do it, and what we should also be doing.

High energy: checking 20 things off your to-do list in a day makes you feel happier – even if you started the day with only 10 things.

Writing / powerpoint abilities: you can explain what the company does and why it’s so useful to different types of people in a only a few words, or pages – and you want to.

Additionally… You must believe that 80% perfect but done fast beats 100% perfect done slow – but you can do both. You don’t need to have to be able to write code – we want someone who can market, write and explain benefits – but you should at least know what a SAN and a hypervisor are.

Also, the more of the following experience you have, the more interested we are:

+ Write “no-buzzword”, very plain business-oriented powerpoint, articles, email, direct mail, or customer case studies, and/or edit whitepapers & solution guides written by others.

+ Technical undergraduate degree or demonstrated technical understanding & comfort with enterprise software. MBA appreciated. Server management, or storage management, or network management software products and marketplace a plus.

+ High energy, enthusiasm, initiative, preparedness and “cool under fire”.

+ Coordinate (haggle with and manage) vendors for marketing services: everything from fast turnaround of flash and fancy web CGI to events.

The deadline for submitting your information is today, Wednesday, July 18, 2007 midnight PDT.
This opportunity was previously posted last week.

Experiment1:
Get your professional information into Google

Caveat:

This is NOT an official job posting from Google

A colleague in product marketing and management at Google said that s/he would introduce 3 SPM Jobs members into the hiring process if I selected them myself. This is a bit unorthodox but I thought it was worth at least a one-time experiment. My contact states that the person s/he supplies these candidates to will either be an appropriate recruiter or the hiring manager (50/50 chance either way).

Here are the “rules”:

• You must be a member of SPM Jobs (if you are not, just go to www.spmjobs.com Job Seeker section, verify that you qualify, and request to join as a Job Seeker).
  
• You must answer the 3 questions below, and send them (or a link) plus a resume to experiment1@spmjobs.com by Wednesday July 18 midnight PDT. Please don’t spend more than 2 hours MAXIMUM working on this. I won’t start reviewing till the deadline has passed.
  
• For an official Google job description of product marketing and management, visit their website.

Here is the selection process I will follow:

• Glance at your resume for 10 seconds to see if it is presentable.
  
• Carefully examine your input to the 3 questions, and choose the candidates based on creativity, insight, passion for the web 2.0, and overall interestingness.
  
• Contact the top 3 candidates to verify that they still do want to be presented to my colleague…if yes, I will tell these candidates the name and title of my contact person. If any of these 3 has changed his/her mind, then I will select the next candidate(s) on my list.
  
• Submit the information about the top 3 candidates to my contact. I will then destroy ALL information sent to me by everyone else. This is not an attempt to build a database of any kind. No one but me will be reviewing the information that is sent. I will provide feedback to the whole group on the success/failure of this experiment.

THE 3 QUESTIONS
(defined by Cynthia Typaldos, Founder & Manager, SPM Jobs)

[Answers can be supplied in any format you prefer, but it shouldn’t take me longer than 10 minutes to review]

1. What is your presence on the Web? Point to it. [Note: Examples might be: Wikipedia author, Flickr group manager, Yahoo Groups participant/manager, social networking butterfly, widget/gadget collector, Amazon reviewer, Adsense/Adwords user, etc. etc. etc. Don’t limit yourself to these items though…what I am looking for is people who have immersed themselves (without drowning) in internet technology.]
   
2. What do you think about the explosion of gadgets/widgets? Answer this in any way you find interesting, e.g. What is the evidence of an explosion? What type of gadgets/widgets are most attractive from a business perspective? Will these mini-applications fizzle out or are they the beginning of a new paradigm? [Suggestion: check out the Google website to learn about their new focus in this area.]
   
3. Write a free form paragraph/example/video/whatever that demonstrates your ability to imagine, conceptualize, define, nurture, grow, launch, and manage unique internet services. It doesn’t matter if the example you use wasn’t successful...many brilliant products/services fail initially because of timing problems.

For those of you that submit your information, thanks for participating in this experiment.

For those of you that have feedback on this experiment, please email me directly or even better, post your comment on this job posting at www.spmjobsblog.com

Thanks.

Compensation: Mid 100's. Company offers stock options and bonus plan. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is entering a significant and pivotally exciting new phase – be a part of it! The demand for protecting high end content (such as video as only one example) has simply never been greater for media outlets, news organizations, movie studios, game publishers and corporations. In addition, there are important new focus areas and applications, for example, the enablement of access to content wherever you are, in addition to the well known anti-piracy connotation. Macrovision Corporation (Macrovision) is THE LEADER in this space, a $300 million company that provides digital lifecycle value management solutions that enable the delivery and enhanced use of software and content. The Company's solutions include anti-piracy and content protection technologies and services, digital rights management, embedded licensing technologies, usage monitoring for enterprises, and related technologies and services from installation to update to back-office entitlement management. It markets the FLEXnet licensing platform and the InstallShield suite of software installation, repackaging, and update solutions. The Company also operates Trymedia Systems, a distribution network for downloadable personal computer (PC) games. It develops and markets an array of digital lifecycle value management technologies for three distinct customer groups: Entertainment and Content Producers and Distributors, Software Publishers, and EnterpriseEnd Users.
