Liftopia is looking for a smart, dynamic and energetic Marketing Associate. You'll manage our social marketing channels, produce compelling consumer marketing copy for all marketing channels, and provide operational support in reporting, invoicing and day-to-day management across the entire marketing program. In exchange, you'll have the opportunity to work and thrive in a multi-tasked, fast paced startup environment that is not just operating in but redefining the most fun niche in online travel.

Role Responsibilities (including but not limited to):

* • * Prioritize investment in new social channels . Be the thought leader on an evolving landscape and educate the company on best practices. Is Google+ sticking around? Is Pinterest an opportunity that needs to be leveraged before it's been exploited by other brands? With a fixed amount of resources to dedicate towards social channels, where should we be focusing our efforts? There's a lot of clutter and misinformation out there, and your job is to cut through it and build an actionable social media plan that you will execute on.
* • * Collaborate with external vendors to produce awesome promotional materials that people will actually hold onto. Neon slap koozies? Pretty awesome. Liftopia key chains? Not so much.
* • * Plan events – we'll travel across the country to consumer facing ski shows, throwing parties for our loyal fans along the way. You'll own the planning process to make sure it all goes off without a hitch.
* • * Use data to set quantifiable goals, measure results against those goals and surface opportunities and challenges. Regular reporting and ad-hoc analysis will be a key component to the success of this job and you need to be ready to hit the ground running.

What you'll get from us:

* • * A real say in the future of the company — you'll be a valued member of the team whose ideas about how to grow a world class company will be vital to our success
* • * You're growth will only be limited by your ability to successfully execute on the work you are assigned, and the speed at which you are able to ramp up and take on greater depth and breadth of marketing expertise.
* • * Broaden your marketing expertise by supporting other marketing programs and initiatives like SEM, affiliate, retargeting, online partnerships and e-mail marketing.

Work Experience and Education

• * 2+ years of demonstrated experience as a social media coordinator, community manager, brand manager or similar for a major consumer brand .

Core Competencies

• * You bring passion and enthusiasm for this role and what we're building.
* • * You aren't afraid of failure, and are willing to take calculated risks. Sometimes tests succeed, sometimes they don't. Either way you'll perfect the testing process, learn from mistakes and employ an Iterative approach for constant process improvement.
* • * Strong coordination, organization, interpersonal, and communication skills are necessary. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can juggle many constantly changing priorities at once.
* • * You're fearless about doing whatever it takes to get the job done, even if it means working long hours and weekends during certain times of the year (our business is highly seasonal, and the workload isn't always evenly distributed throughout the year).
* • * You've demonstrated an ability to balance day-to-day responsibilities with longer term strategic planning/execution.
* • * You thrive in a collaborative environment but can also prioritize and manage yourself to get things done with minimal oversight.
* • * You bring new ideas to the table, but also actively seek input from the broader team.

Right now some very smart and way cool people at INetU are inventing, concocting and preparing for what you might call ‘Act 2'. It's not a new INetU… it is the next INetU, and it is very exciting. We want to tell the world about it.

Could this be for you?

If you're a storyteller, a creator, the type of individual who can assemble all of the little shiny objects around you, and from them make an arrangement that creates clarity and fosters genuine curiosity, then you should be on our team. If you're relentless in your pursuit of hard goals and objectives that produce meaningful results, and really believe that you get there by embracing the true definition of synergy, combined with a pinch of strong emergence theory, then we actually *need* you on our team. If you're not afraid of space travel and the inherent risk of reentry burn-up… well, that might impress us too.

This opportunity comes with great challenges and huge rewards! The successful candidate (could that that be you?) will use his or her experience to take calculated risks that are anchored by data and driven forward by instinct and determination to reach our company's goals. This will not be an easy job – but it will be rewarding. You are coming into a well-established and financially strong company that is crossing the next great chasm of growth. Here you will prove that you are the person we need to help reach our aggressive goals. You'll do this by improving the effectiveness of our systems, such as our Prospect Acquisition and Qualifying Contraption (okay, the lead funnel), and by successfully championing our marketing effort, driving the team to greater success in branding, image, PR, client satisfaction and profitable sales growth. Sure, that's just marketing, but it needs to be Act 2 marketing… get it?

As Director of Marketing for INetU you will report to the VP of Sales and Marketing and you will be responsible for at least the following activities and initiatives either as the direct owner, through directing the efforts of the team, or by managing the relationship of our partner vendors. Some of the exacting goals you'll need to over-perform on are:

• Leadership. You will oversee the hiring, growth, and continual development of the INetU Marketing organization. You will be responsible and accountable for determining the optimum structure of the group, putting the structure in place and developing a high performance and scalable team.
o Create compensation, training, and incentive programs that inspire and drive the Marketing staff to deliver exceptional industry leading results.
o Work with other INetU departments to create synergies that allow for growth of the entire organization.

• Marketing Events and Programs – You will work with your team to plan and execute ongoing promotional events ranging from tradeshow participation, thought-leadership and technical networking events, to social gatherings and regional market presentations.

o Improve the INetU presence and visibility at all events.
o Create press events and releases on a continuing and predictable schedule.
o Create local and regional lead and sales opportunity events.
o Improve our global advertising reach.

• Web Site and Branding – Our web site is our foyer and often our prospect's first impression. You'll own this asset and we need a strong and creative individual to ensure that it is open, inviting, fresh and curious. Our brand speaks to our value proposition and our go-to-market strategies, they are all yours to make better.
o Work with inside and outsourced resources, continually updating our web presence with the essential brand and educational elements needed to create demand for our products and services.
o Ensure that all SEO / SEM and analytic elements are in place and providing accurate results.
o Work in concert with our trusted vendors that supply us with expertise and guidance.
o Develop and test new methods of capturing attention while working to always improve conversion and quality.
o Enhance our global reach.

• Collateral development – It will be your job to provide proper guidance for copywriting and layout to writers and graphic designers (internal or external) for production of all online and offline product collateral and technical documentation.
o Continually freshen all collateral
o Produce new collateral by working closely with sales, the partner program coordinator and product development.
o Develop additional resources that can provide content, white papers and other educational materials.

• Offline and Online Metrics and KPIs – An essential part of your job will be to work to identify, track, report on, and continually improve the effectiveness of all marketing programs through dedicated and precise data analysis.
o If you don't like to get into the numbers, please don't apply. That's how important this is.

• Public Relations – (If we just didn't scare you away with the numbers thing) - you'll be in charge of all ongoing activity with outside PR agencies and you will coordinate PR activities both internally and externally with your team. You will work with the VP of Sales and Marketing to enhance the effectiveness of our analyst-based research programs.
o Create, publish and track company press releases
o Take ownership of the company's customer satisfaction measurement programs
o Create new ways for INetU to reach our stakeholders and those who are interested in learning more about us.
o Expand our BLOG presence and content, and embrace social media outlets such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.

• Competitive Intelligence – Hello Mr. Phelps, your mission (if you decide to accept it) is to maintain close tabs on INetU's key competitors, understanding what they're doing from a product, pricing, positioning, and overall marketing perspective. We have some great competitors in our industry that we have a tremendous amount of respect for, and we need to fully understand their strategy so we can… [Redacted]. (This is top-secret stuff, ya know!)
o We will disavow any knowledge of you and the mission. This page will self destruct in 5…4…3…

• Product Launches – You will work closely with the VP of Sales and Marketing and our internal product groups in finalizing and implementing a more formal product launch process to ensure standardized collateral, branding, and activities around the introduction of new products.
o Give birth to the product or service – name it, brand it, feed it, tell others about it in ways that set it apart from the competition.
o Lead the effort in price and competitive comparisons
o Validate new product needs based on industry trends
o Create internal and external collateral; sell sheets, comp analysis, pitch decks, etc.

• Your Ideas – You will work closely with you, to brainstorm initiatives that you can take to your team and develop, test, and implement. We want you to use your experience to show us what works and implement you're ideas to improve our visibility and essential elements of marketing.
o [Your #1 idea goes here]
