Billboard, the leading entertainment brand covering music globally, is launching Billboard En Español, an all-Spanish site that will serve as a companion to Billboard.com, the ultimate global destination for music, with a renowned authority among artists, fans and the industry.

• Passionate and knowledgeable about music and music business in general and Latin music in particular, with keen interest in all genres of Latin music.
• A multi-tasker and collaborator for whom no job is too big or too small, who can work with many teams across many departments.
• Fast, clear writer, passionate about breaking news but also capable of writing and editing in-depth, ground-breaking features.
• Fascinated by the business of music, including the players and the money driving it behind the scenes
• A keen understanding of all the major social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram.
• Flexibility with work hours that will likely involve time outside the 9-to-5 weekday hours. Off-shift work required occasionally in urgent news situations
Responsibilities:
• The Deputy Editor will be responsible for coordinating all coverage on Billboard Español and will maintain an editorial calendar for both the short and long-term, coverage of major events such as awards shows and festivals and will plan relevant content for other important events like conferences and concerts.

• Create and oversee daily/weekly content for the site, including writing a minimum of 8-10 stories per week and overseeing the publication of all stories on the site (20-25 stories per week, including original content and translations).
• Will work daily with Billboard’s VP of Latin Music in developing Billboard Español.
• Will work daily with the Billboard Español Copy Editor/Staff Writer and other staff to ensure all published stories meet Billboard’s exacting editorial standards.
• Will work in tandem with Billboard’s Latin team to maximize all opportunities and resources across platforms. While Billboard En Español is a stand alone vertical, it is part of Billboard and an extension of Billboard Latin.
• Will work closely with Billboard’s video production team to cross-pollinate content and create original content as needed.
• Will work in concert with Billboard.com’s staff as part of a synchronized team that thrives on collaboration.
