About the Position:
Get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity. We are a small but already profitable B2C division of a mid-sized, fast-growing B2B Saas business.

• Work closely with engineering and development teams to ensure feasibility and on-time delivery of feature sets in a Lean Startup environment
• Conduct Web analytics investigations for online marketing (SEO, SEM, display) activities and onsite user behaviors; use results to drive business recommendations and decisions.
• Help conceptualize and execute go-to market planning, beta trials, and launch activities.
• Have fun trying to change the world for the better.
About the Right Candidate:
• 3-5 years of Product Management experience, preferably in a consumer environment with heavy emphasis on using Web analytics to drive business decisions
• Proven ability to initiate and articulate product/feature requirements for consumer or SaaS products. Should be able to provide examples of work.

• Detail oriented as needed, with an aptitude for developing structure
• Superior analytical, writing, verbal and time management skills.
• Working knowledge of the latest software, GUI and internet technologies.
• Team player with demonstrated communication and leadership skills. Comfortable leading meetings and presenting in front of groups of colleagues, partners or customers.
• Experience in a Agile SCRUM methodology environment is a bonus.
• Can immediately change direction when the facts and assumptions change.
• Ability to leap into the fire; must be willing and able to hit the ground running and add value from the start.
Considered Attractive:
* Prior Start up experience
* Experience/contacts in online marketing and/or social media
* Interest in recruitment and HR
* Understanding and appreciation of “Customer Development" and the “Lean Start-up”

About the Company:
Our parent company, HealthcareSource, is the leader in talent management solutions for healthcare, used at over 1,000 healthcare facilities. We help healthcare organizations acquire, develop and retain the best workforce possible in order to maximize the quality and efficiency of patient care. We've experienced significant growth in the last few years and were recently acquired by a leading private equity firm. This is an opportunity for growth and success: hot market, good products, exceptional customer satisfaction, and aggressive management. While profitable, stable and well-funded, we still have a small-company environment: fun, collegial, easy to get stuff done. We provide a great working environment in a brand new class-A office building in a convenient location. We work hard, but we have fun – load up on free coffee and soda, play on our Xbox 360 or Wii to unwind,
enjoy the company of colleagues who share in our culture of openness, team-orientation, and high achievement.
