If you’re a brand-obsessed, action-oriented individual, this position could be for you!
ACCOUNT MANAGER AT QUIRKY
ABOUT US:
We’re a company called Quirky. What are we Quirky about? We make invention accessible to everyone in the world. We develop two brand new consumer products every week. The ideas for those products come from anyone who has had “wouldn’t it be cool if…” type ideas for decades.
So yeah, two products per week, that’s why we’re writing this job description. We need an account manager to help mange the two biggest Quirky accounts: Bed Bath and Beyond and HSN.
You may have worked in account management roles in the past, but are you a brand-obsessed, action-oriented individual ready to make the shift from your current job into irreverent ‘we’re gonna make invention accessible’ start-up culture? We sure hope so.
If you like what you’ve read so far, then please read on because a spot in Quirky’s Marketing Department might be right for you.
Your main responsibilities pertain to managing Quirky’s two largest accounts: Bed Bath & Beyond and HSN. This involves:
- Acting as a liaison between Quirky’s Sales & Operations teams and both major retailers.
- Providing daily updates (calls/emails/visits when necessary) between Quirky & both retailers.
- Managing multiple product production schedules.
- Being generally enthusiastic, outgoing, hard working & fun to be around!
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 0-3 years experience; recent graduates will be considered.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
- Action oriented and detail oriented.
- Highly motivated to drive projects to completion.
- Good sense of responsibility and accountability.
- Knowledge of retail sales is a plus but not required.
- Incredibly intelligent, energetic, and possess the ability to figure things out and make good decisions without much guidance.
- Good with technology, numbers, dates, details, and deadlines.
- Super excited to work at a high growth and high-energy startup.
- Passionate about Quirky!
TO APPLY:
- STEP 1: Check us out at www.quirky.com. Learn about us by browsing around the site. If you fall in love, move on down.
- STEP 2: Let’s have a real conversation. If you’ve got a beautiful standard cover letter you use to apply for other job postings, cool. But that will not land you this job. Instead, email Nikki at accountmanager@quirky.com, a very brief personal note, explaining why you think you’re the perfect fit for this position, and of course include a copy of your resume.
- Ensure your email is addressed to me, Nikki, with the subject line:
“Account Manager – [your name] – [place you found the job posting]”
