Web.com posted a job opportunity I want to share with readers. The Jacksonville, Florida-based company is looking to hire a Strategic Aftermarket Sales Executive. Based on the job description, it looks like the hire will work on the company’s SnapNames and NameJet lines of business. The job was posted one week ago on LinkedIn, and it looks like there are fewer than 25 applicants so far.
Here’s the job summary extracted from the LinkedIn job listing:
“The Strategic Aftermarket Sales Executive will create and execute strategies intended to drive engagement for the Web.com Aftermarket platforms to improve performance, grow sales and revenue, and increase inventory, bids, and bidders. This role includes development of additional seller-side services, features and initiatives intended to increase sales for third-party sellers on the Aftermarket platforms.”
According to the job qualification section, “experience in the domain name industry is preferred but not required.” I do not think people would like to see this position go to a domain investor because of the potential for a conflict of interest, but I could see it being a good fit for someone who has experience at a domain registrar, registry, or even a domain brokerage.
It looks like the job will be based in Jacksonville, Florida. The salary and compensation figures were not shared, so applicants will need to be in touch with Web.com to learn more.
so on the pro side more innovation and creativity in marketplaces would be great, (if they are doing a true marketplace) they may just be managing their names.
so i’m an optimistic guy hoping one of our industry behemoths helps connects sellers and the rest of the world….
on the CON side the lure of economies of scale and one platform fits all will stink if they try to do what godaddy is doing, sell expired names and retail names on the same platform.”should be fun to watch
