I am looking for a research analyst/intern for TechCrunch. The position is full time and perfect for a recent college graduate.
I’m looking for someone who a “utility infielder” - you will largely be researching new companies and prepping stories, but the position will also include some writing and general administrative stuff for the TechCrunch sites (preparing invoices, working with authors on various non-writing issues, etc.). You should be very familiar with the Internet and startups in the new web space, have good research and writing skills and generally be willing to do whatever it takes to move the company forward.
You are going to work very, very hard, but you are going to learn a lot and meet a lot of cool people in our industry.
The hours are somewhat flexible but this person needs to be in the bay area and in the TechCrunch offices most of the time. What I really need is someone who is as excited about startups is I am, and who is available to take calls, occasionally, even in the middle of the night or on weekends when news breaks. I am willing to look at candidates who can only stay on full time for the summer if they are between semesters.
If you have basic blogging (wordpress), html and CSS skills, it’s a plus.
Email me at editor@techcrunch.com to apply, discuss salary, etc.
I have been reading your 2 blogs for quite some time. I wanted to apply for this position but am not based in the US otherwise I would have been the 1st person to email you my resume.
Sounds great - you’ll be seeing my resume shortly.
Congrats (again) on starting CrunchNotes and the 1-year anniversary for TechCrunch.
Fooey. I knew I should have been born on the west coast… Lousy parents…
Mike, sounds very appealing and if I hadn’t responded to a similar-sounding listing about 18 months ago, I would have jumped at this chance. (Of course I would have had to move to the Bay area …) For anyone who’s interested, I highly recommend giving this a shot! You’ve got a great career potentially ahead of you if you start out here.
If I were to drop everything and move to the Bay Area, could I sleep in the office until I found a place?
Oh, wait… would I be able to afford a place?
If only I were still a student and lived up north… If there are any full time openings, look me up.
Congratulation for your huge success within 1 year. Your blog is one of the blogs that have contributed in taking blogging to the next level. Best of luck with your search for the intern.
you are going to learn a lot
A lot of jobs like this are work-you-to-the-death, pay-you-nothing, because you-should-be-happy-just-to-be-here type jobs. I’m interested in this but only if it’s for fair compensation. Any comments Michael?
Hello, I am interested in your job opening, but I live in NC. I worked for a start up company for 14 months and my title was Research Analyst. I would research and correctly enter brands,lists, owners and company information into the database from email advertisements. I also did list seeding and other projects for the company. Hopefully, my skills are what you are looking for. I also hope my being in NC does not alter my chances in becoming part of your team. Thanks Sherry Ferrell
