Working at INVISION
INVISION provides software solutions and consulting services to the media industry. We've been working in this space since 1993 so we understand the incredible complexity of the media business. To address that complexity, we offer strategic revenue optimizing, inventory management, and pricing systems that enable media companies to make smart decisions about their ad sales business.
We introduced our flagship product -- DealMaker -- for the 1999 upfront selling season. Since then leading media content providers including Comcast, Disney/ABC, NBC Universal, Sony, Univision, and Viacom have adopted our solution.
INVISION is committed to providing the best possible climate for maximum development and achievement of goals for all employees. While it is our practice to treat each employee as an individual, we seek to develop a spirit of teamwork--individuals working together, to attain a common goal.
INVISION seeks employees in the fields of Sales, Customer Service, System Design, Development, Networking and Quality Assurance. While not always required, for best success, we have found most of our employees have some background in the media industry.
INVISION is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
