Manager, Financial Operations

Rackspace is a highly awarded and respected managed web hosting company. We earned our place by approaching what we do from our customer’s point-of-view. We do more than just expertly support the technologies we provide (the servers, the devices, the data centers and the network); we also expertly support our customers. We call it Fanatical Support™. It’s a novel idea and it seems to work really well for all involved – our customers, our company and our employees.

 

Home to more than 1,900 Rackers (known to the outside world as Rackspace employees), we’ve nearly doubled in size during the past year – that’s how rapidly we’re expanding. And the growth has happened without us acquiring other companies or being acquired by another company. If you’re paying attention, this kind of growth means that we’re hiring all the time.

 

But just because we need to hire people, doesn’t mean we’ll let anyone in the place. There are a few prerequisites. You have to be pretty darn sharp. You need to like working hard. You should believe in Rackspace and Fanatical Support and in yourself. And you better love what you do, because we do.
