Dash Hudson is growing rapidly, and its openings for a product manager and junior brand strategist headline our Jobs of the Week column today.
The Halifax startup launched two-and-a-half years ago and has developed a tool for analyzing the market response to Instagram posts. It now bills itself as a smarter way to grow on Instagram.
In May, CEO Thomas Rankin told Entrevestor that the company was growing strongly and would be adding people as it developed a new product for Snapchat.
This week, we’ll also look at the mobile app development company 14 Oranges, which is looking for a web developer in Halifax, and the Fredericton-based life sciences promotion group, BioNB, which is seeking an international business development officer.
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.
