I recently started working for the World Wrestling Entertainment (yes, the world famous WWE, a company that I had known very little about until I started interviewing with them a couple of months ago. Turns out it is a marketing monster with an astonishingly professional while exceptionally friendly business culture. Certainly a great place to work and only a short train commute (45 min) from Grand Central Station in New York. I am Vice President of Product Development here, and have started down the path of putting together a first-rate time. For right now, I am looking for one or two first-rate on-line Product Managers. People with experience managing all types of interactive projects, whether design, infrastructure, e-commerce, ad supported media, etc. Agency or internal experience is good, but I have a particular interest in people who have managed full product lifecycle for one or more high profile consumer brands.
