Time Magazine: A Pioneer in Media Evolution
Diving headfirst into the digital age, Time magazine is on a quest to find a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who isn’t just a numbers whiz but also well-versed in the mesmerizing world of cryptocurrencies. It’s like asking a knight to slay dragons while riding a skateboard – it’s both thrilling and bizarre!
What They’re Looking For
The job listing, which surfaced via LinkedIn, details a need for someone with more than seven years of executive experience. And get this: they want someone who’s comfortable chatting up Bitcoin as if it were an old pal. If you can explain blockchain over brunch and balance books simultaneously, you might just be their dream candidate.
Understanding the Role
Aside from the crypto cred, this CFO will tackle responsibilities that include:
- Researching economic trends
- Complying with myriad financial requirements, both local and global
- Leading the financial side of a publication that’s adapting to an ever-evolving media landscape
Just imagine! You walk into the office one day, and instead of discussing quarterly reports, you’re debating the merits of Ethereum vs. Bitcoin with your team. The future is here!
Replacing the Outgoing CFO
This exciting opportunity arises as the current CFO, Christopher Gaydos, prepares to hand over the financial reins after a successful five-year stint. It seems that he’s leaving big shoes – and maybe some cryptocurrency-themed socks – behind.
The Crypto Craze Beyond Time
But hold your horses! Time magazine isn’t the only player in this NFT arena. In Amsterdam, Growth Tribe, an education tech firm, has thrown their own twist on attracting talent. They’re auctioning job postings as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a marketplace called Rarible. According to their chief strategy officer, David Arnoux, while it may sound absurd, it does a fantastic job of standing out in the crowded talent market.
NFTs: The New Age of Art and Employment
Moreover, Time is fully embracing the NFT wave, recently announcing an auction for three digital art pieces inspired by their most iconic magazine covers. This can only mean one thing: Time is not just hopping on the crypto train; they are chugging along in a digital locomotive of their own.
As creative director D.W. Pine aptly puts it, the world of NFTs is both “crazy” and “lucrative.” Talk about a wild ride!
