General Manager for Asian City Lifestyle Site / Major Media Publisher / New York, NY
Major Media Publisher/New York, NY

General Manager for Asian City Guide Site
Title: General Manager for Asian City Lifestyle Site (1857)
Client: Major Media Publisher
Location: Hong Kong
Type: Fulltime Freelance (one-year commitment with option to renew)

Overview:

The Hired Guns have been tapped by our client, a major media publisher, to find a General Manager with experience leading pan-Asian media properties to take the reins of a recently launched city lifestyle site covering the best of Asia, currently focused on six major markets with an aggressive eye toward expansion. The task at hand is to grow this nascent start-up property from its current beta state into a leading lifestyle brand.

Gun Profile:

You are a seasoned leader with a big media/entertainment company pedigree who knows how to operate in a big corporation, yet is wired for a start-up. Maybe you did a tour with an early-stage company, or perhaps you have been responsible for launching new lines of business within a large organization. Either way, you know how to do a lot with a limited budget and how to rally a passionate team around a common goal.

You've got a substantial history in online media management and are knowledgeable in traffic-driving strategies – partnerships, SEO, promotions – as they relate to online editorial. Your experience leading a cross-regional team in Asia has given you a level of cultural sensitivity that can only be gained first-hand.

The working environment here moves at the speed of blog, so you need to be quick and nimble. And a little bit of humble will go a long way, as no job herel be beneath you – you're just as quick to get things done yourself as you are to delegate.

This is a hyper-collaborative management matrix … think facilitator, not dictator. You will be liaising heavily with ad sales, editorial, and product teams, so you need to be creative and ambitious with advertising solutions and have a capacity for hatching ideas and packaging proposals that goes far beyond that of the average GM.

Nitty Gritty:

You ultimately own the business – product, marketing, operations, partnerships, sales intermediation. You will assess opportunities that have product implications from the perspectives of both users and advertisers. You'll bring a strong visual sense and creativity to define and deliver on traffic and revenue goals. You will read the marketplace and refine and adapt the product strategy, marketing efforts and roadmap (detailed product, marketing and project plan) as needed to ensure seamless execution and clear product direction. While this is essentially a stand-alone start-up business, it lives within a larger corporate ecosystem, and you will be responsible for managing the inter-relationships with the broader company.

Inside Skinny:

A background growing traffic from “a lot†to “a lot more†is nice. But a background growing traffic from “practically nothing†to “a lot†(especially in a no- to low-budget world) is what will land you this gig.

Net-Net:

This is start-up excitement with corporate funding. You've got momentum from one buzzing site, and have a chance to shape, form, and round out an entire enterprise.

How to Apply:

Please email your resume and cover letter to gmhongkong@thehiredguns.com. Be sure to copy "General Manager, PaidContent" into the subject line of your email.
