We have a unique opportunity for an outstanding and entrepreneurial person who wants to be on the inside of a fast-growing software/technology company by working directly with the CEO on business development projects. Simultaneously, it is an assistant position, which means there is a hefty responsibility for day-to-day office management and administrative duties. This is a case where proximity goes along with a wide-ranging set of responsibilities.

We are seeking candidates with some proven business experience or demonstrated entrepreneurial skills. You must thrive in an extremely fast paced environment where multi-tasking is standard, and serious common sense, enthusiasm, and an interest in technology as well as arts & culture is standard This is an ideal position for growth in the company as the previous four people in this position have all been promoted to other managerial positions.

Responsibilities will include:

- Working directly with CEO on whatever urgent projects are happening on an ongoing basis
- Providing direct administrative support to the CEO
- Organizing travel arrangements for conferences and seminars
- Creating PowerPoints and presentations
- Maintaining office supplies and coordinating with building management

Qualifications:

- Excellent organizational and analytical skills (If you don't like details and being thorough, this is not a job for you)
- Excellent computer competency (no programming skills required, however)
- Experience with Microsoft Word (knowledge of Mail Merge) and Excel, Powerpoint and/or Prezi
- Experience with Salesforce.com would be a big plus, but is not required

Base salary commensurate with your skills and background; high quality health plan (United Healthcare with Medical/Dental) paid 100% by Patron Technology, and 401K option.

Our office atmosphere is casual and non-corporate, but our standards are high and we take our work seriously. We have an office filled with smart, creative, energetic, and culturally-oriented people who occasionally go out for drinks together, go to theatre together, and, generally work well together.

The position is available now.

TO APPLY:

If all this sounds like a great fit for you, write to us and tell us why. Don't even THINK about applying for this job without a well-written, customized cover letter. Tell us why you want to work for us. A creative and unique letter that explains why this job is perfect for you is more important to us than a resume full of experience. Of course, an interest (if not a background) in the arts is extremely important, too, but that's only because it means you will like working here that much more.
