I know the founders at Rent the Runway, and they just posted for a social media person.

HN has been a godsend for me. Reading it religiously everyday has given me the skills and confidence to quit my corporate job and start a (moderately successful) company. Thank you all!
I know that there is such a great community of people here, which is why I'm now seeking your help.
Here's the background. My girlfriend somehow won the US green card lottery. (Yep, crazy!). It's a dream come true for her because she's always wanted to move to NY and pursue a career in fashion. So 3 weeks ago she quit her corporate job in Sydney and moved to Manhattan. But she's been finding it tough so far to break into the industry.
It would be absolutely amazing if she could get a job working in an up-and-coming fashion startup. She's got a really positive attitude and is highly efficient. She just needs the right chance and to know the right people.
So if anyone knows of any fashion startup that are looking to fill a merchandising / operations role, please do tell!
Thanks
