Careers
We’re bursting at the seams… our clients’ web product management and viral metrics optimization needs are increasing and we need to grow our team. If you’re looking to grow a dynamic start-up specializing in Internet marketing strategies, then we might be a fit for you.
So, what’s it like here? Well, we’re all about our clients, so we definitely work hard. Our clients range from start-ups to big companies, in spaces like social gaming and e-commerce. Sure, they hire us because we know what we’re doing when it comes to consumer product management, especially consumer lifecycle marketing and Facebook game applications. But more importantly, they hire us because they know we’re there no matter what’s going – we’re just like one of their team members. They expect their internal staff to be there to get the job done, and they hire us because we will be in it to win it with them too.
Does that sound like you? Then you are perfect for us!
All positions are based in Center City, Philadelphia. Send a resume and cover letter to sepiida@sepiida.com.
