VC-backed Jott Hiring Marketing VP
This has to be one of the top open venture jobs in the Seattle area. Founded by a couple of senior Microsoft alums, Jott has taken seed funding less than $1M from Ackerley Partners, Draper Richards and the newly formed investment firm of Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom.
The idea with Jott is to marry email and a toll free number to supplant the sticky note. Call the number: "Honey, don't forget the huggies." Bam, you get the email and the voice mail with the mission critical message. The number to remember is 877-JOTT IT NOW.
Jott is in beta now and plans to give away its service for free. It plans to make money through a premium service, but it also might apply advertising.

Are you ready to build a phenomenon? Jott.com is “incredibly clever” and “simply addictive” and we have an amazing roadmap of innovation ahead of us. We’re looking for an outstanding marketing talent to join our still small team and All-Planet group of investors. The founders were instrumental players in Expedia and MSN Messenger. The investors seeded Hotmail, Overture and Skype.
This role is a rarity: the opportunity to build – from scratch – a sophisticated, high-performance marketing engine for a product with intuitive value, global reach and low adoption barriers. Better yet, it’s early enough to fundamentally shape our brand, product direction and basic customer connection.
The job will be entrusted to an A-level person who is both driven and fun to work with. If that’s you, you will have demonstrated wins on a large scale, yet still possess the hunger to do it again. You will be a magnet and inspiration for other A-level talent. You will thrive in an environment of creativity, debate, short release cycles and high expectations.
You will have a strong track record in:
• Marketing communications
• Customer acquisition and lifecycle management
• Brand management and
• Cooperative marketing
We work in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, surrounded by great restaurants and blocks from the Burke-Gilman biking trail. We live all over the metro area.
If this sounds like your next great step, please forward your resume to jobs@jott.com.
