Product Marketing Associate

Inflection--a profitable BigData startup with leading properties in people search and family history research--is searching for an exceptional Product Marketing Associate to own a broad range of responsibilities in social media, content writing, PR and event planning, competitive research and analysis, and user engagement. Whew. If the length and breadth of that list, not to mention the chance to work with the brightest minds in Silicon Valley, is more thrilling than scary, read on.
 
We need a compelling communicator with a razor-sharp eye for detail, an independent streak, social media prowess, product marketing chops, and a capacity to intuitively adhere--and contribute to--our brands' voice and further extension.
 
What you'll do:

• Function as both a primary and contributing writer and planner for our corporate blogs and social media accounts
• Aid in press-release creation and coordination and assist in tradeshow and PR event logistics
• Develop a deep understanding of other sites in our verticals, perform regular competitive research, and report on recent industry news
• Entice, excite, and engage our member and non-member communities, both on- and offline.
• Be a product marketing and content-creation generalist, able to successfully accomplish (with minimal follow-up) an array of associated tasks

 
Naturally, you know your stuff:

• Bachelors Degree
• 1­-2 years of work experience, preferably in marketing, social media, or content generation
• You're a joy to be around. Why? Well, you work hard, creatively problem solve, don't need too much hand-holding, are outgoing, and diligent
• You're naturally enthused about blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and the whole social media landscape. Bonus for having your own well developed social network personality.

 
You believe that work and fun can, in fact, coexist:
Bored employees make boring products. We run big websites with millions of users, but we're allergic to the sterile and cold corporate culture. Work and life should definitely be buddies, so we're serious about cultivating a fab work environment. To wit:

• Our headquarters are in the north end of the Silicon Valley, right next to the San Francisco Bay. Getting here is a breeze, too. We're close to the Caltrain station and we pay for your tickets with the GO Pass program.
• The team is as diverse as it is skilled: talented designers, superstar engineers, Silicon Valley vets, and entrepreneurs galore.
• We like to be happy. Especially in the post-work hour-long format.
• There's enough free food and drink at hand to feed a small army. Plus, catered lunch is on us every day.
• We're serious about being ethical and responsible citizens and business people. For example, we make a charitable donation with each product release.
• We care about results, and understand that people get there in their own unique way. You can define your own work path and work with others to set deadlines.
