dpreview is looking for an Editorial Manager to join our growing team based in Seattle, WA. This is a unique opportunity to play a key part in the design and launch of an entirely new content area, and to drive the expansion of the dpreview platform into the fast moving world of connected photography.
From Facebook to Instagram, from the iPhone to Snapseed, photography has never been more immediate, more accessible or more social. We need you to help us build a world class resource for those seeking inspiration, advice and information on thevery latest hardware and software, and on all the cool things people are doing with them.
You'll be someone completely immersed in the wireless technology and photography world, an expert on smart phones, tablets, apps and photo sharing communities, and excited by the creative possibilities these technologies offer the connected photographer. You'll be passionate about finding smart ways to build an audience and a community beyond the 80 million photographers who visit dpreview every year. You will possess particular insight into the evolving social web. You are someone that not only religiously uses all of the social tools available today, but are constantly thinking about how they could be improved.
Responsibilities will include managing, sourcing and producing high quality content, from news stories to blogs to hardware and software reviews. You'll be working closely with the dpreview editorial and engineering teams and directly with manufacturers, developers and technology providers, as well as attending trade shows and product launches.
You should be passionate about digital photography specifically - and consumer electronics more generally - and have a strong understanding of the latest technology and trends. You will have strong ideas on how best to engage this new generation of connected photographers, and will actively seek out unique, innovative sources of inspiring, interesting content. You will be constantly challenged in your work and will be expected to suggest and innovate, and to take full ownership of this important new expansion of dpreview's core product.
dpreview is the world's leading digital photography website, with unrivaled product reviews, daily breaking news and an active forums community. Established in1998, dpreview has grown to attract over eight million unique visitors each month and around 1.3bn page views a year.
DPReview is owned by Amazon.com, though we operate as an independent subsidiary. DPReview employees are full-fledged Amazon.com employees, which means you reap the benefits of working for a Fortune 500 company while also working on a smaller, more nimble team that feels a lot more like a startup. It is the best of both worlds!
