Radix is one of the largest operators of domain extensions including .Site, .Online, .Store, and several others. Radix posted a job opportunity that could be of interest to someone from within the domain name industry. Radix is looking to hire a Sr. Manager of Business Development, with a focus on the North American market. I noticed the job listing on LinkedIn.

Here’s a clip about the job:

Here’s an excerpt about the job scope taken from the job listing:

Radix sent me its 2021 revenue report, in which the company shared that it saw significant growth over the prior year. The company reported a gross revenue total of $38 million in 2021, a 35% increase from 2020.

In comparing 2021 vs 2020, the company’s net profit grew by more than 60%. I asked a company representative what the key drivers of the profit growth were. I was told it was due to a boost in the sales of its premium domain names and stronger renewal rates.
