Role: eCaring is seeking a Director of Operations who will play a critical role in overseeing its development efforts, across technology, marketing, website and user acquisition, both online and business to business. The Director will work closely with the founder-CEO of the Company, and could grow into the COO role.

We are looking for an experienced manager with the skills and experience to implement our vision through managing multiple interdependent projects within the company. The ideal candidate would have solid experience bringing a web product to market, including development and working with a technology team, and a firm grasp of Internet marketing practices. Candidates should have a good understanding and experience in managing a product roadmap implementation, and online user acquisition and related support systems, as well as business to business marketing and sales processes. The candidate should be comfortable working with technology development personnel, biz dev, marketing and sales people, and health care organizations.

We will be delivering the service through PCs in the home and will also utilize a dedicated touchscreen device, and the Operations Director will need to manage the development of that device, related network connectivity and support.

Experience in health care would be an attractive additional quality. eCaring bridges the gap between digital media and health care information and communication systems. A candidate must be familiar with or capable of learning to navigate in the health care arena, integrating our system with a wide variety of institutional, enterprise, public and consumer players. Having relationships that could help promote eCaring’s market presence would also be a plus.

Compensation is commensurate with experience.

Working with eCaring means a chance to have a real impact on the lives of over 60 million Americans in home care situations, and ultimately internationally. This is great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a company with enormous potential for growth and positive impact. Our intention is to do for home health care what Apple has done for the music business.

We’re looking for someone with experience, enthusiasm, imagination and energy to use the benefits of digital and social media to have a profound impact on the lives of elderly home care recipients, their families and friends, by transforming home health care communications and information systems.
