Percipio Media

Company:

Percipio Media applies state of the art predictive modeling and optimization technology to online media activities. Through both life-pathing membership sites and broader media services, Percipio improves online user experience while simultaneously increasing ROI for partners.

We spend a seven figure budget each month on SEM traffic, so you'll be in charge of buying a lot of clicks

We're a well funded startup, currently 8 people. You'll get smart coworkers, a private office with a door, health and dental.

Job:

Online Media Manager for SEM

We run some very high traffic web sites, and need someone to manage our Google and Bing search engine marketing. We take a very quantitative, data driven approach to driving traffic. We don't just plan campaigns in a spreadsheet. As such we are looking for:

    * fluency in a scripting language such as Python, Ruby, or Perl
    * a degree in a quantitative field such as CS, math, engineering, etc.
    * a good knowledge of SQL
Experience in running SEM traffic is obviously a big bonus, but is not required.

Please respond to the email in my profile.

Practically Green - Cambridge, MA

We built Practically Green to provide tools, knowledge and motivation to help people make healthy, green changes in their life.

The first product we've built is the Practically Green website, launched in closed beta in May 2010, with an open beta last September. The site gives you an assessment quiz, helps you build an action plan to improve and gives you the tools and information to execute the change.

We bring in social proof (and social norms) through connections with Facebook friends, neighbors and real-life groups. Our science is rock-solid and our content is compelling. We've incorporated gamification and other behavior-change techniques gently throughout the application. We have an email component, and we're developing a mobile complement.

We're looking for:

* Director of UX * Senior Rails Engineers * Entry-Level Rails Engineers.
