Account Manager Quirky

ABOUT US:

We're a company called Quirky. What are we Quirky about? We make invention accessible to everyone in the world. We develop two brand new consumer products every week. The ideas for those products come from anyone who has had "wouldn't it be cool if--" type ideas for decades.

So yeah, two products per week and brand new product lines, that's why we're writing this job description. We need an account manager to help rock the world of retail and manage the exciting new partnerships we're launching.
