Dash Hudson, the fast-growing Halifax company that provides analytics for such social media tools as Instagram, is looking for a Director of Marketing.
The Dash Hudson position is featured in our Jobs of the Week column today, which also showcases an opening for a Program Catalyst at the Memorial Centre for Entrepreneurship in St. John’s and a Customer Service Representative at Swept in Halifax.
The Memorial Centre for Entrepreneurship at Memorial University of Newfoundland inspires MUN students, faculty and staff to take an entrepreneurial path and creates opportunities that expose them to entrepreneurship both in and outside the academic curriculum. The Centre invests in their early stage growth and connects them with the right resources at the right time. The MCE also co-creates with other stakeholders a more attractive provincial ecosystem for entrepreneurs.
Halifax-based Dash Hudson has created a “visual intelligence platform” that helps its corporate clients to create and distribute photos and videos, then analyze their impact. The system is an integrated solution to predict, measure, and enhance engagement across all visual marketing channels.
The company, which already has dozens of employees and offices in Halifax, New York and Miami, has been expanding rapidly.
Fresh with about $2.5 million in new financing, Halifax-based Swept is growing. It has designed software that can help cleaners, bosses and clients communicate on a mobile device. Its goal is to help cleaning companies support their cleaners, not just check up on them.
The Jobs of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada.
