The Temporary Editorial Assistant will build articles in the CMS, source images for articles and update SEO content, as well as copy edit and occasionally assist in video and photo shoots. There will also be chances to write and to contribute creatively to the greater team. As a Supercall EA, you will become part of an editorial team that’s producing entertaining and informative content surrounding all things drinking, from cocktails to bars to spirits to the culture of drinking as a whole. You’ll be the one who ensures a quality product both pre- and post-publish, and a big part of making sure our content goes out on deadline. Our ideal candidate is a strong writer who’s obsessed with grammar, spelling, and punctuation; has a close eye for detail (especially when it comes to formatting and recognizing quality images) and experience working in CMS; is extremely organized; and excels in a fast-paced startup environment. It should also go without saying that a background in bartending or at least a strong interest in cocktails and spirits is absolutely necessary. This is a contract position.

Responsibilities

• Building 7-15 articles a day within the Supercall CMS
• Updating previously published stories to make sure they are optimized for search
• Optimizing videos for search with Supercall style compliant descriptions and tags
• Occasional copy editing/publishing of content on an as-needed basis, with opportunities for semi-regular writing and editing assignments as you demonstrate the ability to do so

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree (concentration in journalism/online media preferred)
• Must meet deadlines and have strong prioritization & time management skills
• Excellent communicator with strong attention to detail
• CMS and web media experience
• Experience with SEO preferred
• An eye for good photography
• Familiarity with major style guides also a plus
• Passion for cocktails and spirits
