Seeking Confident, Highly Energized Marketing Ex*****on Professional

About Bigelow
Bigelow is the M + A Advisor best known for being exclusively dedicated to owners of high-performing private companies. We partner with our Entrepreneur Owner-Manager (“EOM”) clients to reach their greatest potential personally and professionally by building, and someday, capturing Enterprise Value.
We are an independently owned advisory boutique with a proven track record of achieving superior outcomes for our clients resulting in uncommon success both for our Firm, and its team members. Over the past several years, we have closed over $3 billion in transactions ranging in size from $30 to over $400 million. We represent clients in an intentionally broad range of industries, located throughout North America.
Our belief: high-performing EOMs are a unique species who lead their businesses and measure success differently than “corporate employees.” This makes the selection of the next owner of their highly successful businesses challenging and extremely important. Freeing EOMs and their businesses can transform their life’s work into enduring legacies. Accordingly, we have resourced our team with the best talent and skills to successfully deal exclusively with them.
We are a collaborative team of senior, experienced professionals who have complementary skills and creative strengths to best serve our EOM clients. We have deliberately located our state of the art offices in Portsmouth, NH, (50 miles north of Boston) one of Outside Magazine’s ten best cities to live in. Before applying to this position, we strongly urge you to carefully study our website at www.bigelowllc.com, and read or listen to our book Enterprise Value (McGraw-Hill).

Additional responsibilities may include collaboration in the creation of short internal video productions, day-to-day contact with outside vendor partners and numerous administrative functions such as assisting with travel and meeting logistics, calendar management, proofing and preparing presentations, and meeting preparations. This position may include some travel. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional communication and organizational skills.
Incentive compensation is completely aligned with the achievement of our goals. Generous benefits include holidays, vacation, 100% company paid medical, a generous qualified profit sharing plan and health savings account.

Five plus years of digital marketing ex*****on. You will have been a team member working with a strong marketing leader in a branded product or branded service company
Bachelors degree required, Masters preferred
Total mastery of Microsoft Office (especially Word and PowerPoint)
Power user of marketing tools including: WordPress, Salesforce, and iContact

The practice of mindfulness meditation is described as placing one’s attention, without judgment, in the present moment. Science has shown mindfulness to offer enormous benefits including improved focus, reduced anxiety, improved immune function, and more quality sleep. Try this: focus on your breath for one full minute. Doing so regularly is the beginning of a successful mindfulness practice.

In Tibetan Buddhism there is a relationship known as “nedrogs,” which describes a friendship of two souls on a pilgrimage through life together. In Western culture, often the terms “soul sister,” or “family in spirit” are used to describe extremely close, non-familial bonds. Research shows that having several close relationships are key to well-being. Who is a nedrog in your life?

Our colleague, Jordana Cole, has officially launched the shirt fundraiser for the Christopher Peterson Memorial Fellowship. The fundraiser contains two designs (including one from the OPM Collective - a clothing line launched by Sophia Kokores) and features hoodies, unisex t-shirts, youth t-shirts, and ladies cut shirts in multiple colors. All proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated directly to the Fellowship fund.

You can order shirts (for yourself and others!), donate additional funds, and track our progress directly at the fundraiser page:
https://www.customink.com/fundraising/cpmff

Please also support our scholarship and consider spreading the word, by emailing your classes, posting to social media (you can use the buttons on the page), or sharing the fundraiser with others (and of course you can purchase more than one shirt). The fundraiser closes on April 2nd (specifically for US residents, as international shipments will take a bit longer to clear customs).

Help us honor Chris Peterson's memory by spreading compassion and prosocial behavior! I can't wait to see our shirts around the globe.
