This is a very cool Canadian company that recently did an IPO that we covered here. The company was founded by the guy who started in that documentary Dot.com
They are looking for someone to lead their global ads sales efforts. Company currently has about $125M in the bank and has offices in Toronto, Dubai and New York City. Prepare to travel, travel, travel.
Candidates should apply to jobs@jumptv.com or contact Mike “JB” John-Baptiste on jb@jumptv.com (Group Head, Distribution) for further information.
JumpTV is the world's leading aggregator and distributor of ethnic television content. The Company has nearly 300 channels which are live streamed over the Internet and distributed via JumpTV.com and other market leading Internet platforms (e.g. Comcast, AOL, MSN Arabia, Terra.com). Only a few companies on the internet stream more video daily than JumpTV and in the summer of 2006 the company went public on the Toronto and London stock exchanges largely due to its potential to monetize the exclusive worldwide relationships it has with its TV channels from over 70 countries around the world. The Company current has about $125 million in the bank and has offices in Toronto, Dubai and New York City.
JumpTV operates a hybrid subscription/advertising service and is building a national advertising sales team to support ad sales on the majority of its television channels.
We have position available for an Advertising Sales Director who will be responsible for creating advertising and sponsorship opportunities in the video advertising space. This opportunity puts the candidate in charge of creating and maintaining a National Sales Team. While JumpTV will concentrate in the short term on the developing of the USA advertising market, there is a very real opportunity of the successful candidate’s remit quickly expanding to be responsible for global advertising sales. The appropriate candidate will financially benefit from a base salary with generous commission structure and Company options.
