Headquarters: USA

This is a number two role in the marketing department at Vidalytics.com - a mid 7 figure bootstrapped SaaS. You’ll work hand in hand w/ our CEO, who doubles as the CMO & face of the brand, as well as our other marketing team members. 

We’ve been growing at high double digit growth for years. And your mission is to make this exponential… And together, we’ll do that with execution. 

This role is for a direct response & marketing operations badass with strong attention to detail, organization & management skills. Someone who gets conversions, direct response (conversion copy), and is all about taking the big picture, filling in the gaps, and getting it done. 

Our top marketing initiatives are: 

• Paid Acquisition

A day in the life might look like

• Oversee the building of funnels and other marketing projects 
• Review all sorts of marketing data 
• Groom the project backlog 
• Review daily stand ups and follow up with ICs as needed 
• Meet with ICs about their work and shipping projects

What You’ll Love About Us (Benefits and Perks) 😉

• High performance company culture. You won’t be a cog in a machine. Rather you’ll be a key member of a high performance team that is getting shit done. This is a place to grow and realize your potential, no matter what level you’re at in your career. 
• No office politics. We’re small and flat. There is no bullshit of trying to dance around sensitive topics. Divert resources from other division’s projects. We’re direct, we’re honest, we’re here to accomplish big audacious goals. 
• We value your ideas. At Vidalytics, my door is always open. Need help? Let’s talk! Have a vision for the future of the company? I want to hear it! Think I suck at my job? Help me grow! 
• Rest and relaxation. Employees get 20 days of PTO. 
• Professional development. Want to continue your education? Vidalytics pays for classes, conferences, and more.
• You’re more than an employee, you’re a person. Every co-worker you’ll meet is committed to treating you with respect and kindness. You won’t hear stuff like, “It’s just business.”
• This is a resume-making position, where you’ll learn a lot and have a lot of responsibility. You don’t have to wait for someone to die or retire to move up, like in a mega-corp. 
• Entrepreneurial to our core – Not only are we a startup, but we need intrapreneurs that will help us scale, and we’re looking to start other sister corps in time to form a portfolio of companies, which you could be a co-founder of. 

Vidalytics’ Values 

(Yes, We’re Actually Serious About These) 😇

Data  – As much as we’re able to, we use data to answer questions, give bonuses and promotions. Not based on politics and titles. But data or not, when a decision is made, it is time to get on board. 

Scrappy Entrepreneurial Mindset  – We’re a startup. You get a lot of freedom, responsibility and autonomy, but then at times we need to do whatever it takes to make sure we survive. If you want an easy job, go work at the government. 

Radical Candor – The concept is rooted in two main principles: caring personally and challenging directly. This way we’re able to achieve a balance that promotes growth, trust, and constructive feedback. You can call out anyone from the CEO on down. Just be sure to attack issues and not people. ;) 

High Performance – This is a place to be your best. To work with people who are putting out. Grow, learn and see what you’re made of. For hyper learning. 

Accountability – Do what you say. And own what you’ve done. Mistakes happen. But the worst thing that can happen is when someone doesn’t own and learn from them. 

Growth – We are ALL constantly learning and growing. Otherwise we can’t scale with the business and for our teammates. We spend too much time at work to not be getting better. This is a place to learn, get better, and dare we say self actualize.
