Job Description
In-person working (New York City). No remote/hybrid. A-players only. Only A-players can hire A-players. We'd rather hire 1 A-player and pay an above-market amount (that someone is very happy with) than hire 3 B-players and pay market. Drive. You're hungry to do what it takes for us to win. You likely have a massive chip on the shoulder and/or a neurodivergent brain. Work is a key part of your identity / fulfillment in life. Grind. We work/text on weekends and at night. It's ok to send messages at 3am. Urgency. Do in a day what usually takes weeks. Run through walls to get things done. Respond in minutes (or seconds) instead of hours. Shameless. Be extremely annoying if it means winning. Check-in on things 10x daily. Double (or quadruple) text if someone hasn't responded. Call them too. Fast firing. If someone isn't an A player, we part ways quickly. Please be okay with this. We do paid trials to help derisk this. Mission-driven. 'Hyper-personalize all content' as a mission sounds fun to you. Wear many hats. No job is not your job. EV-based decision making. No buying IBM because it's safe. Customer-first, not team-first. It's our job to make things move fast. We dropped the ball if a customer feels like we did. Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.
