Big news, digital media people: Yahoo! is hiring social editors across its News, Sports, Entertainment and Commerce properties. Check out the job descriptions:
Y! News
Y! Sports
Y! Entertainment (Movies, TV, Music and omg!)
Y! Commerce (Travel, Shopping, Autos, and Real Estate)
This is Yahoo!’s latest step in extending conversations and user engagement both on- and off-network. Between the success of Social Bar, the rapid growth of Yahoo! social experiences (14M+ Facebook fans in less than a year) and making social an integral part Yahoo!’s editorial culture, this is a top priority and growth area for the company.
These social editors will coordinate and execute social efforts for Yahoo!’s leading media properties, track and measure success and lead the way in innovation and storytelling. The social editors will also coordinate SEO efforts and be the off-network publishing lead for the property. If you’ve got what it takes to lead the conversation, engage Yahoo!’s 180M monthly users and attract new ones from around the social web, email Yahoo! social lead Violet Lim (VLim@yahoo-inc.com).
