Job - Web Editor

European Journalism Centre – Maastricht, Limburg, The Netherlands

Job Description

The European Journalism Centre is looking for a talented and creative Web Editor to manage the day-to-day content of our network of websites.
Who You Are:
The ideal candidate must:

• have a university degree in journalism (or equivalent)
• be a native English speaker (or a certified fluent speaker)
• be able to work under pressure and independently
• have experience in writing for the Web (min. 5 years)
• have proven reporting skills (e.g. events, press conferences)
• have magazine or newspaper editing experience (min. 3 years)

You must be able to independently produce content for the Web, i.e. you know HTML and have enough PhotoShop skills that you don’t need to ask anyone for help when it’s time to crop or resize a picture. Ideally, you have hands-on experience with a CMS (ExpressionEngine, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, or other proprietary systems).
Moreover, you should have good insight into strategies on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and be aware that there’s more to it then just sharing funny pictures.
You shouldn’t need to use Google to figure out what SEO means; you already know how to implement this in your writings. You have strong language editing skills and an eye for detail.
Finally, you are a “people person” who can coach colleagues who are less media literate than you are. You should be able to sell your vision internally and bring the team along with you.
What We Offer:
We offer you a full time position in a truly challenging international environment. The position is available at short notice, and is either Maastricht or Brussels based. Latest start date is February 2013.
