You, me and Carrie B.

Hey girls,
Super-exciting job opportunity fer ya! A new women's sex and relationship website is looking for their very own Carrie Bradshaw (cute article, by the way...I know it's way outdated, but the jury's really still out on the whole Aidan vs. Big debate). Anyway, I know that quite a few of my SYB Babes are aspiring writer-ettes, so I couldn't wait to tell you. Check out the details, below...

BellaNoir for president,
Tia

EDITOR FOR A NEW WOMEN'S SEX & RELATIONSHIP SITE
Title: Editor for a New Women's Sex and Relationship Site
Client: Major Media Network
Location: Flexible -- completely dependent on you and your laptop
Type: Long-term contract

According to HBO, "No one captures the lives of the lovelorn and the love-seeking better than columnist Carrie Bradshaw." That is, until now...

The Hired Guns have been tapped to discover a live and in-the-flesh Carrie to serve as the feisty Editor for a hot and exciting new sex and relationships blog-on-overdrive for our client, a major media company.

As assignments go, this one couldn't be juicier. We're looking for a fresh and sassy writer whose sharp tongue and a quick wit will keep readers (target demo women age 18 - 34) engaged and inspired to tap into their inner vixens. Given the properties this media giant has in its stable (TV, Mobile, Web, Print), we're talking about a fantastic opportunity to push the envelope and develop some serious brand equity and buzz as today's most relevant Sexpert.

If you land this gig, you'll need to wear a lot of hats. First, you need to be experienced at whipping out quality copy at breakneck speed. You should be a news junkie who has the kind of brain that can take in tons of dish, gossip and current events and distill them into compelling and relevant sex and relationship commentary. But putting digits to your keyboard is only one facet of this gig ... you must also have the discipline and organization of a managing editor, as you'll need to drive the editorial calendar, recruit and manage contributors and keep the ideas flowing. You should also possess a strong visual sense, as you'll own the look and feel of the site, and you need to have a proven track record of embracing web-based technology. Last but not least, you need a blogger's sensibility and style plus a real flair for the subject matter.

We're not looking for a one-night stand here -- you need to deliver day in and day out. And if you do, then opportunity abounds. So, if you're ready to channel your inner diva and deliver a refreshing viewpoint, then this gig's for you.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE GIG:
Establish unique site editorial vision, voice, tone
Collaborate with Art Director to establish overall site look/feel
Bring strong visual sense and creativity to daily coverage
Write and produce original content (e.g. text, images, video)
Recruit and manage freelancer contributors
Identify and manage content from licensed sources
Participate in site PR and marketing via the blogosphere as well as more traditional media outlets
Manage site communities and user-generated content
Institute and manage editorial standards and processes that ensure quality
Oversee your budget
Monitor site traffic and adjust approach as needed to increase it

HOW TO APPLY
Email a cover letter (required) with your most recent resume attached to sexedgig@thehiredguns.com. The cover letter should detail your experience relevant to this opportunity and include the reasons for your interest in the position.
