• A genuine fan of independent online media

• Experience marketing cultural institutions, festivals, media organizations, or similar: you understand how to build something people want to be associated with

• Strategic thinker who can build a marketing function, not just execute within one

• Strong taste: you know what IMI should and shouldn't look like

• Equally comfortable with long-term brand strategy and the day-to-day work of building an audience from the ground up

• A builder: you want to create something from scratch and grow a team around it over time

• Comfortable working closely with founders in a small, fast-moving organization
