Needless to say, we need more hands on deck!  So, we're hiring for our new Business Development Associate position.

At PICnet, our high-touch, high-quality service starts with business development professionals that understands the non-profit sector and spends more time listening and asking questions than speaking.  The individual who takes this position will be joining a dedicated and motivated team that seeks to offer the very best experience for our non-profit and socially responsible business clients as they leverage their web presence to fulfill their missions.

• Understanding of Web technology services
• Strong connections in the non-profit or socially responsible business sectors
• Experience using CRM tools to track sales is preferred

The right applicant will not only have the basic business development qualifications, but will truly enjoy working for the non-profit and socially responsible business sectors. You've got to have heart. You've got to be passionate about public service and the social sector.
