Description:
Marketing Director You love marketing. You love advertising. You love copywriting. And you understand the quantitative certainty of direct response. What you don't love though is bureaucracy, red tape, and institutions steeped so deep in BS that even the awesome and well-meaning people who work there can't bust through.You want to be a part of a new kind of company. One where things don't move so goddamn slowly. You want the security of a paycheck, but the time and creative freedom of an entrepreneur. You aren't afraid of hitting a monthly quota and managing to KPIs. In fact, you are almost giddy at the thought of having a huge budget and being judged on your performance knowing numbers don't lie.The Director of Marketing is a critical role within the high-volume, most highly competitive environment at The Author Incubator.

Make sure it's clear you custom-wrote it for this job, that you checked out our website and social media, and you tell us why will you work harder than anyone else in this role should you get it?

Before you answer - try to think like a CEO what would work for you and be a fair market price for this role. You'll be working closely with our CEO and when you do, it's important to that you are VERY precise in your communications so this is one way you will demonstrate your ability to be specific and to follow directions. Being vague in this area just sets up a concern that you're not going to be able to ask for what you really want later if you come on board. To be granted an interview you must share a specific number.FINAL NOTEOne more thing you should know about us before you apply. Our organization believes in diversity and equity. You know those 112 women and 117 People of Color in Congress now? Yup, still not nearly enough for us. We put muscle behind our values when it comes to building an inclusive community for staff and clients. We believe EQUITY (not just inclusion) is what really is required to dismantle racism and patriarchy. We are an LGBTQIA-affirming, interfaith-oriented organization that is committed to social justice - including women's rights, civil rights, disability rights, immigrant rights, and environmental justice. We believe Black Lives Matter. We encourage candidates to apply who share these commitments and who have a demonstrated capacity for creating inclusive organizations and working effectively across differences to support the success of an increasingly diverse clientele. (In other words, we don't work with racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic jerks.)The Author Incubator is a pretty magical place to work. But don't listen to a job post, listen to our employees' anonymous reports on Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/The-Author-Incubator-Reviews-E1671563.htm Here are a few of our favorites:"I can't tell you how refreshing it is to work somewhere where the employees legitimately love their jobs. There are no arguments, no gossip, no backstabbing or corporate ladder climbing.""This place is beyond incredible. Convention is abhorred, and there's absolutely every effort to avoid the kind of stifling dehumanization you get at any other job.""One thing that sticks out is that this place is accepting of all diversity and is results-oriented! Love it!" recblid qnjg750ik9o5foody8b8b5hnf9c015 None
