Type: Direct Hire
Overview:
This new Hired Guns client, a huge professional organization focused on serving the informational, educational and networking needs of engineers, has its sights set on creating a website that's vibrant and user-friendly, thereby maintaining its status as the online epicenter for the engineering community. To make that happen, they need an outstanding Online Editor to come in and whip things into shape.
Gun Profile:
The perfect Gun for this gig is already an accomplished online editor with experience leading new site development. With a decade or so of journalism behind you, and lots of that time spent in digital publishing, you've got the necessary chops to craft enticing content and drive audience engagement. You know the ins and outs of content management systems and are building mobile apps for the iPad and iPhone, telling stories with video, and producing podcasts and syndication-ready content. Bonus points for blogging experience, social media expertise as it relates to elevating a content brand, and insight into deployment of SEO and SEM.
As befits a modern Editor, you're also a great manager, negotiator, and product visionary. You can work effectively with staff and freelance writers, in-house developers and outside agencies. And you know how to mold subject-matter experts (in this case engineers) into confident content producers.
Nitty Gritty:
You'll be joining the organization at an exciting time, because there is a launch happening, and the company is investing heavily (they've hired one of the top agencies in NYC to strategize and build the site). And you will be a key partner in the success of that implementation. As Editor, you'll head up the creation and management of both short- and long-term content strategy, so be ready to be in it for the long haul.
A key element of this role is sourcing content from internal and external parties, negotiating any necessary agreements, and managing to tight deadlines. That means you need to be the consummate motivator. You'll be a liaison for the engineering profession, ensuring that the organization's members – and the larger engineering community – are strongly engaged with a plethora of existing and new online products that you will envision.
This is an excellent organization to work for: the people are driven, and their mission is clear. Your challenge will be coalition-building around the full potential of what a true digital offering can do for this organization. The new website is just the tip of the iceberg, so we need a dreamer who is also a terrific leader to help them meet their full potential.
Inside Skinny:
Write a terrific pitch letter – and really demonstrate what you could deliver if given open road. If you've got an engineering, technology or science background, this would be a great time to mention it. B2B experience is a plus.
Big brownie points if sometime in your history you've been able to take dry educational content (webinars/webcasts) and make it a little sexy.
Net-Net:
This is a primo opportunity to synthesize new engineering ideas, technology developments and general engineering occurrences impacting our world.

Online Network for TV Fans/New York, NY
Deputy Editor
Role: Deputy Editor (2026)
Client: Online Network for TV Fans
Location: New York, NY
Type: Direct Hire
Overview:
This Hired Guns client, a whole new kind of online network, is looking for a Deputy Editor who can breathe life into their vision of a one-stop online shop for happily TV-obsessed female viewers. These guys are funded by the same venture capital firms that have backed some companies you may have heard of before … like Facebook and Starbucks. So yeah, they have a lot of fun, but they're serious about their business and serious about finding an editorial Gun who will help them reach new heights.
Gun Profile:
Your special gift to the world is your ability to find the perfect voice, the just-right tone that makes everything come out sounding appealing and fresh. From your years in web publishing, you know that there's a particular voice that draws an audience in the entertainment and lifestyle genre. You've honed a deep understanding of how to optimize content for readability and presentation on the Web, strengthened by your strong familiarity with SEO, video, social media and photo editing.
You thrive in a collaborative team environment and can oversee freelance writers and editors skillfully. Your knack for managing deadlines and priorities in an ever-changing industry and work environment will be a crucial skill.
Nitty Gritty:
As the Deputy Editor, you'll be managing a team of editors and overseeing the news operation of a large and growing TV entertainment site. Working alongside the Editor-in-Chief (she's a fellow Gun), it's up to you to deliver the news, gossip and featured of-the-minute products to viewers in a way they've never experienced on other fan sites.
Your primary focus will be on day-to-day management and audience-building for a set of properties catering right to the site's core female demographic. In broad strokes, this will include social media distribution, production, content editing and writing, and managing the team of editorial talent (assistant editors, interns, contractors). You will help to plan the content and publishing schedule, make sure the site is updated with breaking entertainment news, and contribute to the development, writing and editing of the site's content.
Inside Skinny:
You're a true TV addict. You like watching it as much as reporting on it and believe that whether it's “Glee†or “Jersey Shoreâ€, every show is a gem in its own way. And giving viewers a deeper and richer experience is something you know you'd excel at (if you could just find the runway to be able to deliver it).
Net-Net:
Come join an excellent team of talented creatives to help shape a truly best-in-class web publishing platform.
