Alley Job Hunt: Yahoo!

Are you a New York-based engineer looking for a new job? Probably best to stay clear of Yahoo. Unlike rival Google, Jerry Yang's company isn't hiring a lot of techies in Gotham. But they do have at least 44 positions open here, including:

• a director for its newspaper partner program
• a director of business and legal affairs
• a homepage producer
• a marketing manager for Yahoo! promotions
• a product manager and content producer for Yahoo! Finance
• a senior PR manager
• a "data insights" manager that bridges marketing with information systems
• a slew of sales positions -- including political advertising
• a media research number cruncher

Regretfully, Yahoo!'s database won't let us link directly to the job descriptions via its HotJobs site, but you can do a quick New York search. Did we miss anything? Important hires and fires under the radar? tips@alleyinsider.com
