Job Opportunity - Digital Content Writer/Editor for Kayak Angler Magazine

The Job — Digital Content Writer/Editor

As the Kayak Angler digital content writer/editor, you will be responsible for producing and optimizing online editorial content our readers want and enjoy, extending our reach and creating more loyal fans who turn to Kayak Angler for every gear purchase and travel decision they make.

Responsibilities include researching, planning, coordinating, assigning, writing, editing and publishing while meeting deadlines and following guidelines. The goal is to provide exceptional, essential, engaging, informative, honest and credible stories, news and reviews kayak anglers need to read.

You’ll collaborate and coordinate with the existing editorial and marketing teams to develop efficient and synergistic plans to maximize value and reach.

Expect to work in a variety of digital publishing and distribution platforms as well as with photography, video and social media.

You should have an understanding and voice of authority when writing about kayak fishing and the fishing and kayak fishing industries. Our readers are enthusiasts. You don’t work at Car & Driver because you own a minivan; you must be a car nut. You get the idea.

The position is in-house, full-time and year-round. Think…this is a real job!
Qualifications

    Proven experience as a contributing writer, editor and digital content creator, ideally with a focus on product news and reviews

    Strong writing, editing and proofreading skills with an excellent portfolio
    Planning skills and ability to oversee projects from concept through finished layouts and production
    Ability to manage multiple overlapping deadlines
    Thrive on researching and telling stories important to kayak anglers
    Clever wit and marketing savvy for punchy, effective headlines
    Education in journalism, professional writing, marketing, publishing and/or digital media
    Strong desire to live outside the city and an aversion to shopping malls
    Willing to travel a few times a year to tradeshows, client meetings and editorial assignments, i.e. destination stories and gear testing

We believe the right candidate will know the skills and experience he or she will need to excel at all this.

Salary to commensurate with experience, of course.
The Office/Cottage

We are located in Palmer Rapids, which is a small rural community with a big heart. Our office is on the river-right bank of the Madawaska River. Yes, you can launch and fish from the dock. We’re five minutes downstream from class II-III+ Palmer Rapids, less than an hour from the mighty Ottawa River, and right in the middle between Algonquin Park and Calabogie Peaks ski resort. We fish, paddle, ride bikes and ski regularly and go swimming from the dock at lunchtime.

This job is based in the Ottawa Valley Palmer Rapids office. Alternative longer-term (think a couple years of in-house time first) arrangements may be made after you become familiar with the business and our systems. But we think you’ll like it here and want to stay and play. We are only two hours to Ottawa, and three hours to Toronto.
Our Team

The Rapid Media team consists of a publisher, director of marketing, director of sales, advertising and sponsorship coordinator, two magazine editors, graphic designer and production coordinator, film festival tour coordinator, some digital dude named Alex and our finance and circulation managers. Most of us wear flip-flops every day and have never been caught wearing ties at our desks. Creep us at our Team Page.
