Flytedesk powers media and advertising on college campuses. We build the technology that college media organizations and universities use to manage their operations. We build the technology that small businesses use to reach students. We work with brands, campaigns, and causes as their college partner in understanding, reaching, and driving outcomes with students.
We have a presence at almost every college in the country and the ability to reach 20 million students through campus billboards, student influencers, campus email newsletters, college newspapers, digital ads, SMS, and more.
We started flytedesk as the tool we needed at our college newspapers and have grown to become the single largest funding source for student journalism. Brick by brick, we’re creating a sustainable business model for college media by providing a coveted service to advertisers. We’re mission-driven, profitable, newly remote, and unrelenting in pushing our business and customers forward.
who you are
We’re looking for an operator/executor who loves diving head first into challenges. You’re a team player who is obsessed with process and client service; plus a curious learner who is comfortable with ambiguity, always focused on progress not perfection. You work great under pressure and can juggle a lot of competing priorities, details, and deadlines. Your friends and colleagues admire your Excel skills with awe and envy.
At flytedesk, we’re constantly iterating or reinventing our internal processes to keep up with our growing scale. We’re looking for someone who can quickly learn our current process, work with our team to identify areas of improvement in our sales process, implement new projects, keep client service front-of-mind, and wear multiple hats. This is a multiplier role for our sales team, so the right candidate has the innate ability of making those around them more effective. If that sounds like a lot, it is. But you also get to work with an awesome, battle-tested team who cares fiercely about becoming the best at what we do.
