The ideal candidate will exhibit the following characteristics:
* Understanding of and excitement about podcasting as a technology and a media phenomenon.
* a track record in successfully managing operations for a complex (and preferably technical) business.
* Strong technical skills. Programming is not necessary. However, experience writing XML and HTML is highly beneficial, and the ability to set up simple but scalable databases is a plus.
* previous experience as a user of a production back-end for a large web site or other real-time computer system.
* Proven experience delivering against multiple simultaneous responsibilities (multitasking).
* Roll-up-the-sleeves attitude; a willingness to perform whatever work is required to get the job done.
* Highly organized and detail-oriented.
* Excellent and precise written and spoken English.
* Additional language skills in German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Dutch -- the more the better.
* Knowledge of European media landscape.
* Demonstrable experience supporting technical customers or suppliers while conveying a knowledgeable and professional demeanour.
* An MBA or equivalent with media or marketing focus is valuable but not required. |
