(http://elitechoice.org/)</p></div></p>
<p>Yesterday we told you about how the nebulous (or is it cumulus?) cloud computing sector is <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/06/need-a-job-look-up-a-shift-to-cloud-computing-brings-60000-jobs-to-new-york-city/">bringing 60,000 new jobs to New York City</a>, according to one study. Between its nominal shoutout to the neighborhood above the East Village, and its signature service Booker, which started out as <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/spabooker">SpaBooker</a>, <a href="http://www.gramercyone.com/">GramercyOne</a> truly reps its hometown. The cloud-based startup recently announced a $15 million funding round led by Steve Case's Revolution Ventures and is <a href="http://www.gramercyone.com/about-us/careers/">hiring</a> for a dozen positions right now, with plans to add another dozen before the end of the year.</p>
<p>This gives us an opportunity to examine exactly what a cloud-based job looks like. GramercyOne makes Booker, a tool for merchants that is used for booking appointments, hotel rooms, whatever, and counts multi-national enterprises like Hilton Worldwide as users as well as boutique spas, fitness centers, salons, medical practices, and other local service businesses.<!--more--></p>
<p>According to the company, the software is used by more than 5,800 businesses worldwide and processes more than 1,000,000 transactions per month, averaging more than $2 million a day.</p>
<p>But unlike the <a href="http://elitechoice.org/2011/09/02/wolke-7-cloud-9-lounger-concept-calms-and-soothes-you/">Wolke 7 Cloud 9</a>, a spa concept that is an "ode to cloud computing of sorts," GramercyOne seems pretty well-rooted. The company just hired three vice president level executives to head up customer experience, business development and marketing. “We are now well-positioned to take cloud innovation to the next level and enable more businesses to access new marketing channels, increase sales, and realize their full potential,” CEO Josh McCarter said in a statement.</p>
<p>No need to panic if you forgot to major in condensation, for these "cloud jobs" are strikingly similar to Earth jobs. GramercyOne is looking for an accounting assistant with a "can-do attitude," for example. This week GramercyOne announced a move to a 16,000 square foot space in Lower Manhattan, and a rebranding as LowerManhattanOne. Nope, that last part was a joke. But you forgive us.</p>
