Coordinator w/ Heavy Social Media + Editorial Focus (Hollywood, CA)

2009-11-03T17:45:23-08:00

Ranker is a startup consumer website in the user-generated content space. We have an ambitious site, beta launched in late July 2009, that is already starting to take off and has a lot of potential for growth, and we are currently looking for someone to handle a wide variety of responsibilities. Duties will range from social media management and viral marketing to QA and testing, and there will also be some light office/administrative work. Basically, we are looking for someone who can do whatever needs doing to help us develop, promote and grow Ranker.

Candidates should be able to function well in a fast-paced, high stress environment. You should be detail oriented, organized, intelligent, tech-savvy, hardworking, and very capable of multitasking. Excellent writing skills are a requirement, as are strong computer skills and familiarity with PCs, Vista, Outlook and the internet. Only candidates with 4 year degrees or equivalents need apply. Above all else, you must be passionate about the web industry, and about the opportunity to learn a lot on the job. You will be called upon to do things you may not have a strong background in. We can spend some energy training you, but for the most part, we will expect you to be able to effectively research and learn things independently.

Experience in a QA/testing environment, community management experience, basic bookkeeping/Quickbooks experience, general office experience, low-level HTML or other coding skills, pop culture knowledge, guerilla/viral marketing experience, internet research experience, editorial experience, note-taking skills, and heavy web 2.0 experience (personally and/or work experience) are all huge plusses.

If you are the kind of person who may find yourself thinking �that�s not in my job description� when given a task, this isn�t the right fit for you. We are a true Silicon Valley-style startup, so if you need a very structured corporate environment, this is not the gig for you either. But, rest assured that our company is a meritocracy and there�s more to do than bodies to do it � if you can add value to the business going forward you will be rewarded appropriately, and we can guarantee that you will learn a LOT about the consumer internet very quickly.

Compensation will be determined on experience and includes equity and medical benefits.

HOW TO APPLY: Please send resume and cover letter to jobs@ranker.com. You must send both in order to be considered. In your cover letter, let us know what websites you visit regularly, what software you�re proficient with, any social media pages or writing samples you care to share, and why you think you would be a good fit for our position and what your initial impressions of http://www.ranker.com are.

Note: If you contact us with a solicitation for contract web design or development services, we will make a point of not using you. We are not looking for web designers or development firms at this point.

It's a community site, so we are currently looking for Digital Interns to create content on our public beta to get some of our key features working. Good writers, bloggers, or people familiar with witty - or just plain informative - internet writing are a must. If you�re willing to get your hands dirty learning the ins and outs of launching a successful website, then we encourage you to apply.

- Creating content that matters to you, being creative, and adding to existing content on the site.
- Promoting yours (and others') content across the web
- Providing Feedback on the ins and outs of the site itself.
- You would work from home, school, or wherever you'd like. This is a DIGITAL INTERNSHIP, so you would not be coming into an office (though if you live in the Los Angeles area we'd be happy to have you come by whenever), but you would be accountable for a certain amount of trackable work.

Requirements:

- You must be able to write a coherent sentence.
- Come up with extremely original and uncommon content ideas, as well as be able to add your own, learned, two cents on common and existing content.
- Defeat an army of the undead using only your dry humor and the chainsaw attached to your wrist.
- A working knowledge of pop culture - or if not pop culture, other passionate areas of interest (science, art, history, technology - our site is a treasure trove of interests).
- You must be available for at least 8-10 hours a week, spread out around your schedule. This is stuff you might be doing in your spare time anyway.
- You must be an active user of online social networks of all kinds (facebook, twitter, digg, blogs, etc).
- You must be extremely web and computer savvy, as some viral marketing may be requested of the right candidates.
- Must want to pursue writing/learn how to promote yourself and your writing on the internet
- Must be an avid reader or fan of sites like listverse.com, cracked.com, or ivillage.com. Must love lists.

Rewards:

- The opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a groundbreaking new website started by an internet vet who sold a previous web business.
- We�re a growing company, so good interns could end up moving into paid positions down the line.
- We�ll also give you all the college credit your school will accept.
- Any recommendations you need to boost your resume.
- Your content, assuming it's good, will be featured prominently on our site and should get plenty of hits; so if you have any blogs, sites, or anything you want pushed, giving us great content can only benefit you.

Please respond to the craigslist email above with a cover letter and resume. Please include what social networks you are a regular part of and a list of your top five favorite [anything] to be considered.

If you are curious about this opportunity, or even just the site itself, we welcome casual users with open arms. Simply go to http://www.ranker.com. We are growing every day.
