For the audacious mover, shaker and rainmaker of big-named clients, bring your flair to Context Optional and revolutionize the way in which industry giants connect with the masses through social networking applications! Capitalizing on the explosion of widely-popular social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, as our Business Development Director you will call upon some of the world's leading brands to offer them end-to-end solutions for launching their own unique and engaging viral campaigns that enable their brands to cleverly reach and be shared among the masses in fun and exciting ways.

For the business development extraordinaire who is looking for a forecast that calls for rain, bring your umbrella to Context Optional and enjoy the steady downpour ahead!

Context Optional is a rapidly-growing San Francisco-based developer of fun, clever, snarky, unique, and engaging applications for social networks like Facebook and MySpace.

Your strategic eye for and sound track record of building and establishing relationships with leading marketing agencies and entertainment firms, coupled with your ability to qualify and generate leads to increase revenue, will be tested as we will rely on you to turn our contacts (as well as your own) into lasting revenue-producing relationships. Success in this position will be measured by your ability to increase our sales volume by writing compelling business proposals and securing large partnership contracts with our client base. As a polished communicator with a knack for time management and prioritization, we are looking to you for effectively manage and engage client relationships in this ever-evolving and cutting-edge environment where corporate branding and social networking collide!
