Austin, Texas Job Type:

Full-Time Company Overview:

Biz Scout is making small businesses as easy to buy and sell as real estate. We are bridging the gap between one generation’s legacy of small business creation and the next generation who will buy and innovate within them. We are a marketplace for off market deals, paired with a traditional small business marketplace and a brokerage arm that helps hold buyers and sellers hands. Our unfair advantage is the 100 million monthly views we get as a media company and use to increase all sides of the marketplace from brokers to buyers, to sellers. We pair technology with brokerage. Parent Company:

Contrarian Thinking is bringing Main Street back by using media to revitalize small businesses across this country. We are a digital media company, education business and an investment firm. We are one of (if not THE) fastest growing business media company with over 100 million views a month and 5+ million social followers. We put our money where our mouth is with holding companies of small businesses that comprise our enterprise and are launching several new channels and businesses this year. We are led by Codie Sanchez, former Wall Street and Private Equity investor. Job Description: We are looking for a sharp, entrepreneurial, and extremely driven individual that will act as head of product/platform and lead a team to push the direction of Biz Scout.

In parallel, you will execute, prioritize and write full tickets for each sprint.

We are looking for a candidate with a pre existing track record of success in scaling companies from 6-figures to 8 figures who is familiar with the dynamics of a fast growing start up specifically in the marketplace or platform space.
