Do you like asking people questions? Are you detail-oriented? Do you prefer maple donuts to lemon ricotta ones? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions (preferably the first two, although if you dream of lemon ricotta we can live with that) then you might be just the person we're looking for to join the blogTO team.
We have an immediate part-time opening for an Editorial Assistant. As an Editorial Assistant you'll work directly with the blogTO editorial team and be tasked with the following:
- Research, data gathering and data input. This will include visiting, calling and emailing local businesses to gather information from them, fact checking, maintaining and inputting data into our web site databases and ensuring accuracy of the data.
- Event curation and administration. This will include adding events to our events database, approving submitted events, editing events, removing duplicate or irrelevant events and working with the editorial team to highlight the most interesting events of the week.
- Other miscellaneous support to the editorial team. This may or may not involve donuts.
This role is part-time (10-20 hours a week). Location and timing are flexible. When not conducting research "in the field" you can work from home/cafe etc. or from the confines of our office space near Yonge and Queen.
Applicants must be detail oriented, outgoing/personable (not afraid to approach people you don't know), presentable, able to consistently meet deadlines and be willing/able to travel anywhere in the GTA (access to a car is preferable but not mandatory).
If interested in this role as Editorial Assistant, please email jobs [at] blogto [dotcom] and tell us why you'd be a perfect fit. Please also include your earliest available start date and hours/days you are available each week to take on this role.
