<p>Our sales department is looking for a few smart, talented people to join the Curbed Network team. Here are the opportunities:</p> <p>Head of Sales<br>Account Executive<br>Account Executive (L.A.)<br>Sales Assistant</p> <p>These are plum jobs featuring competitive pay and excellent benefits. Full descriptions are <a href="http://curbednetwork.com/jobs">here</a> and after the jump.</p> <p><b>Head of Sales</b><br>This is a new position and, for the right person, a rare opportunity to have a transformative impact on a media brand. Many of the pieces are in place; we've spent the last five years cultivating an account base, developing custom ad products that work, and building a strong team. We're unencumbered by network relationships and we have a strong team of proven sellers in place. We've also got six straight quarters of profitability behind us.</p> <p>But we have lofty aspirations for the organization and that leaves us at an inflection point. What we need now is someone who has the vision and desire to take what's in place, uncover what's missing, and build a powerful, lasting digital sales operation. </p> <p>Day to day, this person will manage the sales team, sell to national brands across all of our titles—Curbed.com, Eater.com & Racked.com—and craft sales strategy. The ideal candidate has 5+ years digital sales experience and 2+ years management experience. S/he has strong relationships with agencies and clients inside and outside our verticals and the ability to organize and motivate a sales team. </p> <p>The position is based in our downtown NYC office. Interested parties should email <a href="mailto:jobs@curbed.com?subject=Head%20of%20Sales">jobs@curbed.com</a>.</p> <p><b>Account Executive</b><br>This person will sell to national brands across our three titles—Curbed.com, Eater.com and Racked.com. The ideal candidate has 2+ years digital sales experience and strong relationships with agencies and clients inside and outside our verticals. The position is based in our downtown NYC office. Interested parties should email <a href="mailto:jobs@curbed.com?subject=Acct%20Executive">jobs@curbed.com</a>.</p> <p><b>Account Executive (L.A.)</b><br>This person will sell to agencies and clients based in the Los Angeles area across our three titles—Curbed.com, Eater.com and Racked.com. The ideal candidate has 2+ years digital sales experience and strong relationships with agencies and clients inside and outside our verticals. This will be our first non-NYC sales hire, and there is an opportunity to establish Curbed's west coast office. Interested parties should email <a href="mailto:jobs@curbed.com?subject=LA%20Acct%20Executive">jobs@curbed.com</a>.</p> <p><b>Sales Assistant</b><br>This person will be assisting the sales team at each stage of the sales process—prospecting, proposal-generation, trafficking, reporting, and more. Experience with any of the above is a plus but not required. What is required is attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a willingness to learn. If the fit is right, there's a fast path up the ladder in Curbed's sales department. Interested parties should email <a href="mailto:jobs@curbed.com?subject=Sales%20Asst">jobs@curbed.com</a>.</p> <p>In addition to competitive pay, we offer health care, a matched 401(k), and a good time.</p> <p>About Curbed: Curbed is the NYC-based publisher of websites that obsessively chronicle the subjects people wake up thinking about in the country’s most vibrant cities—design & real estate (Curbed), restaurants & nightlife (Eater), and fashion & shopping (Racked). With national editions of all three titles and regional sites in 15 cities (and counting), we've built an attractive national audience without sacrificing our local influence. The company is profitable and growing aggressively.<br>· <a href="http://curbednetwork.com/jobs">Curbed Network Jobs</a> [Curbed Network]</p>

Go ahead, <a href="http://forwarder.curbednetwork.com/forwards/RTR_Racked_032910">give it a whirl</a>.</p> <p>Here's how it works: 1) LOVE: Browse through dresses from A-list designers like Herve Leger, Badgley Mischka, Alice+Olivia, Christian Siriano, Robert Rodriguez and more to select a dress you love. Need help?
