I’m working for a Bain Capital portfolio company here in Australia called MYOB. They’re the Intuit of Australia.  They’re looking to hire an online manager to run their website.  MYOB has $200M of revenue, a significant portion of which comes through the site.

They’re specifically looking for someone young and innovative who knows digital marketing and can run a/b tests, optimize search, manage traffic, and run design.  This job is one step away from senior management, and so is a great pathway for someone who wants to run an online business or  digital marketing aspect of one.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this, we are willing to pay for relo/visas to Melbourne Australia, offer a competitive salary, and, most importantly, take a risk on someone young and smart.

Please contact Dan Rasmussen if interested  <[email protected]>
