RevIQ, the Charlottetown company that helps game-makers boost revenues, is our featured company in Jobs of the Week today with a quartet of postings.
The one-year-old company has been rapidly increasing its workforce and has now posted openings on the Entrevestor Job Board for a Director of Product, Product Manager, Data Scientist and Data Analyst.
RevIQ began as part of Gogii Games, a Moncton-based producer of casual and free-to-play games, which often advised other gaming studios on how to increase their revenue. Last October, it spun off RevIQas a new company whose technology helped studios increase sales.
There was immediate demand for the service. And as its own revenues rose so did its staff, tripling to nine employees in about six months.
RevIQ says its team of multi-disciplinary professionals prides itself on continuous improvement and on-the-job training. “We support our employees’ professional development goals and career plans with ongoing coaching and company-sponsored training,” said the company. “Whether you're a seasoned veteran who wants to gain skills in a complementary field, or you're a little green but want to stretch your skills, RevIQ will support your ambitions to grow.”
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. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and start-up communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Qimple.
All these postings refer to the gaming industry and the technical requirements for each of them are listed in the job posting:
