After an epic three years delivering – literally – thousands upon thousands of articles for inthemix, our much-loved staffer angy (aka Angus Paterson) is leaving his little nook in the ITM office, which means we’re on the hunt for a new Editor.

“As one of our longest-serving contributors Angus started writing reviews in 2003 ahead of joining us full-time at the end of 2006,” said Tim Hardaker, inthemix’s General Manager. “This means we’ve got some pretty high expectations for our new Editor.” So here goes…

You’ll have at least 2-3 years demonstrated experience in online editorial and digital media, having developed creative and commercially viable content strategies that consider the needs of the audience and clients alike. With a solid understanding of the music media landscape, you’ll live and breathe electronic music and can’t help but get out to clubs and festivals whenever you can.

Preferably degree-qualified, your background will include writing and subbing to tight deadlines, along with taking accountability for the contributions of others. Your initiative and resourcefulness will make you indispensable to our team and clients, because creative and effective solutions come naturally to you.

Your understanding of how to build and engage an audience will mean you have a natural flair for supporting your editorial initiatives with online partnerships and social media. Creating compelling and original content is at the heart of ITM, and as such this is not an entry-level role. It’s a demanding position with challenging objectives that will prove incredibly rewarding for the right candidate.

We’re a dynamic, hard-working team based in Surry Hills, Sydney. If you think you fit the bill, or know someone who does, send an application to jobs@thesoundalliance.net by 1 February, 2010.
