Crowdstorm, one of our recruiter is recruiting now in London. So if you are a marketer, and want to be part of a great team (I know Philip & Chris, and they are very nice guys), just click here.

If you want more details, here is an extract of the job description:

Company Crowdstorm is a social shopping network that helps you find what to buy by measuring the buzz around products. You can also see recommendations from friends and people you trust to help in your buying decisions. The two founders are Philip Wilkinson (founder of Kelkoo UK) and Christopher Scollo (ex CTO Ciao), both with over 8 years each in the online shopping business.

Job Description So, what’s the role? We’re looking for an enthusiastic, passionate individual to take the lead in our marketing efforts and rapidly build a strong Crowdstorm userbase. The company will live and breathe on being able to acquire the right type of users in sufficient numbers to make the site work and create the buzz / word of mouth effect required by a social network of this nature. You will work closely alongside the founders in formulating and implementing creative, adventurous, and successful marketing strategies to work in establishing Crowdstorm as the no.1 player in the social shopping space throughout the UK and the US. What type of person should apply? Well, let’s be honest up front. We don’t have a vast marketing budget to spend right now and look for unique ways to drive free or cheap traffic and brand awareness, so you need to be able to make a difference at this level and scale up as the business grows. You’re passionate about online shopping, social networking, and web2.0 principles – you live and breathe this space read the latest news about it every day. You understand the new Social Marketing space – blogs, RSS, social bookmarking, link baiting, social news sites. You’re a natural marketer – with a constant stream of innovative marketing ideas that you want to try out. Have an understanding of how SEO and PPC works – at the very minimum you can draw on this knowledge to help influence any marketing decisions you make Can understand and utilise a range of traffic measurement figures – draw influences, adapt, and make changes and decisions to try different approaches. Adventurous and willing to take risks – we constantly strive to try new things, see how they work, then refine and try again. It’s one of the main advantages a start-up has over any encumbent. You want to make a difference – why else would you join a start-up? You relish the opportunity to make something really big and influential and make history. Not only that, but you ultimately want to be highly successful and make some cash out of the whole thing. You’re prepared to work on both UK and US focussed campaigns, – occasionally travelling to the US to oversee that side of our operations Fun to work with – We have a lot to do and we’ll be spending a lot of time together. If we can’t all get on and have some great fun along the way, then it won’t work. Ideally been in a start-up before – and understand what to expect. It’s not essential but it will be easier for you to adapt and be set free! What don’t we want? Well, if any of the following apply then please don’t even consider getting in touch – honestly. Someone used to a boring 9 to 5 job where you are measured on the hours you work rather than the results you achieve You don’t really want any challenges and would rather plod along with job security You’re not willing to do what it takes to make Crowdstorm succeed. This may be work beyond your defined responsibilities, maybe some extra hours each week and the odd day during a weekend, or something completely new. Someone who is not used to a lot of autonomy and freedom to achieve their goals. So, where will I be based and is there any travelling? We’re currently located in London, England (right near Waterloo ), and this is where you will need to be based, and be fluent in English. We are setting up a US office too (possibly San Francisco) and there will be some travelling every few months over there and future potential to relocate if you’re interested. What you’ll get As a start-up in the early phases, we want to give equity to each individual. The amount is determined by how much salary you are willing to forgo in exchange. See it as a set of scales where less of one equals more of the other. We’ll discuss this in more detail when we meet but rest assured that as the company succeeeds, the rewards greatly increase in proportion! You’ll have real responsibility, time to have fun in a relaxed work atmosphere, see the company grow and know that you were one of the early recruits, and get a real kick out of working with some very clever people! Not only that, but you’ll want to jump out of bed and come to work each day! Can you give me an example of a typical day or week? Well, kind of, as every day will be pretty varied, including brainstorming ideas with the founders, influencing product development, working on ways to attract contributors to the site who will make comments and recommend products, acquire browsers, monitor revenue streams and site conversion, develop new marketing strategies, implement experiments to drive traffic through online and offline techniques, work with US and UK PR agencies, attending exhibitions and conferences to discuss the Crowdstorm vision. So, what now? Get in touch. Send me the following: A one page overview of why you want to join Crowdstorm, what you bring to the table, and when you would be ready to start. Your CV The top 10 sites you visit on the Internet on a regular basis and why Without all of the above, your application will be filed in the the special “recycling folder” – no hard feelings, but we don’t have a lot of time :-) After that, we’ll let you know straight away if we’re interested and then we’ll either arrange a phone call or get you over for a coffee and an initial chat.
