Who Will Be Zillow's VP of Marketing?
Online real estate venture Zillow is probably the best know start-up in Seattle. People know Zillow because it recently raised $25M, it was founded by Expedia founder Rich Barton and because its house price search tool became a viral hit online.
This all makes the job a tall order. You would need to impress marketing reports already in place.
To apply, email 3658-CJB-0@zillow.hrmdirect.com
