Borough Network is a new app that caters to study abroad students traveling overseas. Its features include a:
1) Social feature where students can connect with one another, post on a news feed, and contribute to a city-wide social events calendar.
2) Review feature where students can explore hidden gems throughout the city (activities, parks, businesses, even free-to-use public WIFI and bathrooms).
3) eCommerce feature where they will be able to purchase student discounts offered throughout the city if they so choose. 

Created by students for students, this app is an incredibly useful tool and free service for students to take advantage of, not a business that takes advantage of them. Our mission is to keep students in touch, informed, and in budget while studying abroad. We created this app to genuinely enhance their experience abroad by building it off of our own.

The app can be explored further at www.BoroughApp.com . Please note that a UX/UI redesign of the app is underway and will be complete within a few weeks. 

Borough is looking for experienced sales people to fill two ‘Business Development Specialist’ positions. As a Business Development Specialist, responsibilities will include: 

-Thoroughly research assigned territory for consumer-driven business leads and develop points of contact with businesses our students will love
-Execute partnerships with businesses across multiple categories in order to increase Merchant accounts and the number of discounts advertised to students on the app. Potential strategies include emailing the aforementioned points of contact and performing cold calls.
-Track all account information and sales progress using the company's internal tools, as well as forecast sales and assist the company in achieving goals.
-Be knowledgeable of marketplace trends, as well as of competitive product offerings. 

At Borough, Inc. you will be seen and treated as an indispensable partner, not another employee. Because this e-Commerce feature is how the company gets its revenue, you will be a significant driving force for the company and its growth. Compensation will be hourly based + bonuses based on performances. As the company grows so will your benefits.

For now, you will be working remotely. We plan to move into offices after the New Year.
