Associate Editor, OperationsPosted date: 2009-Jun-01
Location: San Carlos (Silicon Valley), California
Zimbio.com, a pop culture online magazine, is looking for an Associate Editor, Operations to help manage our photo and video assets as well as manage the day to day editorial operations across our rapidly growing network.
About us: We’re a fast-moving, well-funded start-up company already enjoying more than 18 million unique visitors a month. We’re reinventing the concept of an online magazine: We blend original, in-house and freelanced editorial with user-generated articles and licensed content to form an overall informative, well-rounded and entertaining experience for the reader. Our office is a casual place where good ideas and strong opinions are pretty much mandatory. We are based in San Carlos about a mile from the CalTrain station. About the job: With a wide, sweeping range of duties, the Associate Editor, Operations is a crucial member of our editorial team. The position focuses on some key areas in the editorial department: maintaining order in our growing photo and video assets, community management, curation of our member contributions and licensed content, general site maintenance, and occasional editorial projects. With an eye towards helping our editorial efforts get more noticed, the position also involves some editorial strategic planning as well as finding new, creative ways to streamline the existing process. This is an entry-level position with minimal writing; it's more content management than content creation. About you: You have an inherent understanding of what makes great websites great. You love pop-culture, can hold your own in political conversations, and can pick Karl Lagerfeld out of a line up. You're more interested in the business of editorial journalism than writing itself and can clearly understand, embrace and convey an editorial strategy. You take great pleasure when you creatively solve a problem but have no issue with applying brute force to a project when there's no otherwise easy way around it. When friends describe you, “great sense of humor” and “extremely intelligent” are usually phrases that come up first. "Wanted by the FBI" hardly ever comes up. You have a college degree and are passionate about working on the Internet. Candidates interested in joining our rapidly growing business should send a cover letter, resume and answers to the three questions below to editor.jobs Questions: 1. Professionally speaking, what is one thing you will never do? 2. What is your favorite website, and why? 3. Whose presence is the best thing to happen to popular culture ever? |
