© Pablo Barrios
Leading international travel publisher Frommer’s Unlimited, John Wiley & Sons, are recruiting an in-house full-time project manager from June 2009 to December 2009 (with possibility of extension) to oversee the smooth running and timely delivery of a new, high-quality product.
The objective of this project is to upgrade the online content of a major international hotel brand to reflect the new brand guidelines, target the new customer demographic, build consistency and professionalism, optimise the content for search engines, capture the brand tone of voice and style, provide accurate, credible and appealing information on each hotel, and engage with the reader’s heart and mind.
To do this you must be able to deliver credible editorial rather than sales text. A large part of your role will be o work alongside enhanced hotel imagery and present the hotel as the gateway to a travel experience.
The enhanced hotel content will arm the online reader with all the information and persuasion they need to book the hotel. Measures of your success will be increased conversion to sale and brand loyalty.
To be eligible to apply you should have at least five years’ experience of managing successful online projects where high volume, high quality editorial content has been delivered to specification and deadline. Ideally this experience should have been gained at a senior editorial level in the travel and hospitality industry.
You’ll need to be a brilliant organiser, who can put in place realistic delivery schedules, then make them happen, and a creative thinker, with ability to devise creative solutions and back-up plans as and when issues arise.
Your editing should be meticulous, as you will be responsible for ensuring quality control at every stage of the production cycle. Technical savvy and confidence with Excel will be useful, as will a flexible approach and an ability to see the bigger picture and zoom into the fine detail. Acute sensitivity to tone of voice and brand is a must.
You also need to be an excellent communicator who keeps the teams together, co-ordinated and focused, with the skills to be tactful but strong, and experienced in liaising with demanding clients and keeping associated teams in the loop.
Experience of multi-lingual projects and international teams will be a plus, as will broad destination knowledge of EMEA and APAC.
Above all, you need to have a calm, unflappable personality, responding well to ongoing pressure.
If that hasn’t put you off, please apply via email to Ms Anna Goldrein, Managing Editor, at EditorialRoles@wiley.com, with Travel Project Manager as the subject. Attach your CV and a covering letter detailing why you are right for the job, including details of relevant projects you have managed, links to live work and availability from June to December and beyond.
Only short-listed applicants will be contacted.
