HARRY COMMENTS: We are working with Republic Wireless in their search for a VP of Acquisition based in Raleigh, North Carolina … home of the NC State Wolfpack and Carolina Hurricanes.
Raleigh frequently receives national recognition for its quality of life and business climate. In recent years, Raleigh’s national rankings have included:
- America’s Best Places to Live: #1 (Businessweek)
- Best Place for Business and Careers: #3 (Forbes)
- Best Cities in America for Health and Happiness: #3 (EcoSalon)
- Fastest Growing Cities for Technology Jobs: #1 (Dice)
- Best Cities for Raising a Family: #5 (Forbes)
- America’s Most Wired Cities: #1 (Forbes)
No doubt about it: Raleigh rules.
So here’s the 411 on today’s Ecommerce Job of the Day:
Recognized as the top pre-paid service provider by Consumer Reports and named ‘Disruptor of the Year’ by Entrepreneur Magazine, Republic Wireless is on a mission to create smartphone service as it should be.
Republic Wireless is spearheading a wireless freedom movement to return value and control of the smartphone experience to members by leveraging the power of both WiFi and cellular networks.
The firm’s Hybrid Calling uses WiFi in the home, office or anywhere else as the primary network for calls, texts and data. When outside of WiFi coverage, the smartphone works just like a typical smartphone on the cellular networks of national CDMA carriers. It’s an amazing service that CNET has called “a game changer”.
About the Role
Republic Wireless is seeking a VP of Acquisition to join its marketing team. This position is responsible for driving long-term, profitable sales growth across all online and brick & mortar sales channels.
This position is responsible for optimizing Republic’s online initiatives in terms of revenue, conversion rates, usability, and functionality while supporting an omni-channel sales orientation. The job will require establishing a comprehensive sales and marketing analytics strategy and managing a team to support both.
Candidates, please note: Because I do not have an exclusive on this search, I’m not at liberty to share here my usual boatload of proprietary intel about Republic Wireless … its industry … its products … its markets + strategies … the current team … the top FIVE problems that exist due to the position being open … the top FOUR 100-day key initiatives for the job … the SIX critical ecommerce skills you MUST have to win in the role … the top FOUR things all resumes must have to get the job … WHO the firm’s slamdunk customer is (plus HOW and WHY they buy) … HOW the firm is getting new customers now … ALL the moving parts of their current (really cool) acquisition game plan … and MORE.
But that doesn’t mean that I can’t. My call with this role’s hiring manager lasted 76 mins, and I’m happy to discuss everything I’ve heard, seen, and researched about those things with qualified candidates. You don’t want to apply without this intel, so let me hook you up.
