VentureBeat is growing quickly and we’re looking for awesome talent to help us achieve some pretty exciting goals in the coming year. Our sales team is kicking some serious butt and charting new courses in tech marketing. Our events team is responsible for some of the most prestigious tech events in the Bay area.
Requisite for all positions? You want to be part of a team that’s large enough to have real gravitas and small enough for you to have real impact. You know that the word “passionate” is way overused — except maybe on you. You love the energy of a startup and you know humor is your best work mate.
