I'm hiring evangelists... do you want to know more?

Yes indeed - would you like to join the smartest place to work at Microsoft? Do you know the number for Saul's Fishmarket? Of course you do.

I'm looking for 2 - primarily - web-focused evangelists to complement the existing team with a blend of skills. You can apply from the links below, or you can email Sarah directly. Or, if you'd like to talk a little more about the detail of the role then drop me a line too.

You can find the full job descriptions in the following places:
  • "Producer": a creative story-teller and citizen journalist. Clips from the ad:
Can you make sense of the complexity of technology in contexts including: industry, competitive landscape, Microsoft and for the individual? Can you translate that into compelling scenarios and solutions for all of those people? Does connecting with friendly and competitive industry experts and engaging in debate and excitement around technology appeal to you?

Individually, you'll be expected to contribute to the delivery of a "Know & Do" editorial tone by being:
An Editor: can you take complex messages about Microsoft or competitive technologies and land them for audiences in a way that equips the audience with what they want and need to know, and that Microsoft wants and needs them to hear?
An Enabler: can you understand the desires and pain points of individuals, of partners, of customers and of industries and act as an enabler for those desires and solutions?
A Connector: can you build and maintain a wide network consisting of representation across the technology industry, audiences and sectors? Do you care about the people involved in creating the future?
Can you make sense of the complexity of technology in contexts including: industry, competitive landscape, Microsoft and for the individual? Can you translate that into compelling scenarios and solutions for all of those people? Does the thought of running alpha software in the middle of a presentation to 2000 people fill you with adrenalin?

Individually, you'll be expected to contribute to the delivery of a "Know & Do" editorial tone by being:
A Creator: can you put a creative twist on technologies and bring them to life for core audiences and beyond? Are you remarkable?
An Enabler: can you understand the desires and pain points of individuals, of partners, of customers and of industries and act as an enabler for those desires and solutions?
A Pathfinder: can you solve problems that others can't?
