We're hiring a writer & editor in San Francisco.

About us: Photojojo is devoted to making photography more fun! We publish a newsletter with awesome photography tips, run an online store with OMGIMUSTHAVEIT photo stuff, host events, and just wrote a book. People like us!

We're looking for one amazing boy or girl to join our crusade and take our writing up a notch.

What you'll be doing

You will be responsible for the editorial direction of Photojojo and will be helping with community projects. Specifically, you'll be writing and editing our newsletter (unearthing amazing photo stuff people are doing, coming up with awesome photo projects, recruiting and working with contributors), writing for our twitter and tumblr daily, building and interacting with our community on Facebook and Twitter, and planning community events.

Because you're writing for the web, you'll also be looking at web stats daily to identify trends and make decisions about what to write about, and forming relationships with bloggers and press to help spread the word about what we're doing.

Why this rocks

We have over 270,000 subscribers and a community that loves us, so your work will be seen far and wide. You'll also get to learn all about marketing and spreading ideas online, and spend your days researching and writing up amazing photo stuff!

Plus, you'll be working in a really fun office in the Mission in San Francisco.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone to whom this opportunity sounds like a dream come true. Someone who's a fast, creative writer and handy with crafts and DIY. Someone fun who's also extremely driven, disciplined, optimistic, and has stellar follow-through. Someone who's social-media savvy, able to juggle multiple tasks without breaking a sweat, and quick to learn new things.

Basically, a super human.

Experience

It's a plus if you have prior online writing and editing experience, if you're already on twitter, flickr, tumblr, and have managed a community or worked with social media before. If you've run a blog, marshalled multiple contributers, and shown editorial leadership, we want to know about it.

Where? When? How much?

This is a part-time job opening (20-30 hours/week) in San Francisco, CA. Pay is $13-15/hour, depending on experience. For the right person, we want it to be a full-time position. It starts as soon as we find you.

How to Apply

1) Write us a note and tell us why you're the one. The more you tell us about yourself, the better.

2) Attach a resume, links to your profile on facebook, twitter, flickr, your blog, whatever. Show us things. (Best formats: links, PDF, JPG, TXT, RTF)

3) Take a look at our newsletter archives and get a sense for what we write about, then send us at least five ideas for things you would write about... Sites, projects you dreamt up, people you think would be good contributors (show us the project you think they should write about), and anything else. We're looking for you to build on our style (friendly, fun ideas, as actionable as possible) while breaking new ground.
