Quirky Jobs on Startuply

Customer Service Representative in New York

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:26:11 GMT

We’re not looking to create a “Hello, my name is Mary, this call will be monitored and recorded” kind of service culture.

We’re looking for candor and conversation, with a healthy dose of audaciousness.

We believe that our community (which includes inventors, customers, and creative folk) deserves to be treated as partners. We’re in this together.

Don’t worry; it’s fine if your name is Mary... as long as you’re a Mary who possesses that intangible ability to understand and react to what people want and need without them even asking for it. A Mary who can coordinate and manage like none other, and who cares immensely about people, and more importantly the community which she (or he) is serving.

A little about us:
Quirky is a consumer product company. But, as our moniker suggests, we do things a little differently. We design and launch two new products each week. We do this with the help of a worldwide community of inventors and creatives who help us out via this little thing called the Internet.

Quirky’s success is very much in the hands of our community. Our community is uniquely positioned as the main source of our ideas for new products, our marketing, our direct sales efforts, and our sanity (ahem).

Content Manager in New York

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:51:03 GMT

About you:

Writing is your passion and your strongest skill. Your mind races with ideas for your next blog post, and your favorite medium of communication is the written word. When you’re not brainstorming or drafting content, you’re talking about new writing projects with your friends and family. You have a way with words that would make Hemingway proud.

About us:

At Quirky we believe that great content leads to a more engaging experience for our inventors. We’re looking for a dynamic copywriter to help us produce riveting written work that motivates and informs our creative community.

If you’re right for the job:

You can write really well.
In fact, you not only write well, but you are obsessed with writing. You love nothing more than to share words with the world.
You are ridiculously curious. You're the person at the cocktail party who actually wants to know all about what the insurance adjuster you just met does for a living. Because you're interested in everything.
You write equally well in long (multi-part blog narratives, documentation) and short (product and marketing copy) forms.
You appreciate consumer products, design, and invention.
You can identify interesting and relevant articles, books, speeches, conferences, movies, etc. to share with our community.
