Careers at Jigsaw

The Company:

Jigsaw (www.jigsaw.com) is quite simply unlike any other organization. We firmly established ourselves as one of the unique success stories of the Web 2.0 revolution. For the past several years Jigsaw has been leveraging user generated content to map the global business community. By doing so, we have created an online, collaborative business-contact marketplace where marketers, recruiters, and sales people can buy and trade third-party business contact information. Even the most world-weary VC's applaud the paradigm shifting vision at the heart of the Jigsaw story:

"It's always a mind blower when some startup fundamentally changes the rules in any category that is assumed to be mature." – Jeff Nolan, SAP Ventures

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the most unique companies in Silicon Valley, where a healthy contempt for the status quo is essential, and to play a central role in accelerating the growth of this successful business to a position of global market leadership. Jigsaw is a venture-funded startup with offices in San Mateo, CA, and Post Falls, ID.
