Account (Sales) Managers wanted

The Arbitrage Magazine is North America’s largest, student-driven business magazine. We exist to examine current business trends in a way that matters to student minds, by having interesting content that’s written and designed by students, for students.

More simply, we write about business without boring people. We’re Business News with BITE.

The Arbitrage is a new, online (and soon print) magazine that is maturing in content, form and visual appeal with each issue.

Our website is: http://www.arbitragemagazine.com
You can download or read our magazine here: http://www.arbitragemagazine.com/category/magazine/

As the Arbitrage’s readership grows nationwide (and hopefully globally), it will need fresh, talented, reliable and committed individuals to keep it running and evolving. So if you’re interested joining a team that will work together to build something truly special (in addition to building your commercial portfolio), this may just be the opportunity for you.
