Weekends Editor - Periscope (6 months)
Periscope, the world's most engaging live streaming platform, is hiring a weekends editor in London to help find, seed and share great broadcasts and breaking news events on our platform and on Twitter.
This is a part time job of 24 hours per week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
We're looking for an energetic, optimistic and experienced multi-lingual media junkie.
You can think on your feet, you are decisive, and you know what makes a great live stream. You're insatiably curious and ahead of the curve, the kind of person who's first to share cool stuff in your social circle, whether it's new music, books and films or the GIFs and news headlines everyone winds up talking about later that day. You're clued in and have broad knowledge of global current events, as well as cultural, social and political trends worth watching.
Qualified candidates must have a minimum of two years experience in online publishing, preferably in a real time newsroom, and proven facility with social media. Be prepared to explain how you mine hidden gems from Twitter, and how you've used that talent in your work to date.
You must be fluent in English and one or more languages sufficient to feel confident assessing the value of live broadcasts in real time and interacting with community members. We're currently interested in Spanish, Arabic and Japanese - bonus if you have any other language skills.
And you should love love love Periscope - a must-have because you'll be watching it all weekend long!
