REQUIREMENTS

About you

Readers want the best. Publishers demand the best. So, we’ll wait to hire the absolute best person to satisfy both. You are:

• Results driven. You yell your successes from the rooftop all the while you drive the next project as you sprint up the stairs.
• Relationship-oriented. Driving deep long lasting partnerships gets you out of bed in the morning, as does knowing what you are doing influences the lives of thousands of people daily.
• Passionate, motivated and like to hustle. You will move mountains to get things done, rather than giving up in the face of a speed bump. You get motivated and try harder in situations where other people give up and walk away.
• Detail-oriented and super organized. Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s is only the beginning. Targets and deadlines make you run harder.
• An excellent communicator, both written and oral, with a strong command of the English language.
• Revenue-aware. You know that success is in the numbers, and can drive the bottom line for both PressReader and your partners. Creative and informed. You’re not a traditional thinker and the proof is in the pudding.
• Have a Bachelor’s degree, or education leading to a degree, ideally in business, marketing or business communications – or a combination of all of the above would be a huge asset.
• Have plenty of ambition and motivation. You’re not looking for a 9-5 role but rather the chance to be part of a hard-working, fast-moving team. You’re always learning and self-improving.
• You always maintain a positive, can-do attitude and a sense of humour. This one is non-negotiable.
• A regular consumer of content and are an avid reader. You have diverse tastes in magazines and newspapers, and can articulate what these publications mean to you. You ‘get’ the publisher mindset and why their content is relevant (or not) to their audience.
• Fluent in a second language, preferably Spanish, both written and spoken
• Legally authorized to work in Canada for any employer, have a foreign passport and have no restrictions on your ability to travel if needed.

Nice to have

• A passion for the publishing industry, evidenced by a deep knowledge of industry trends, regional differences, leaders and global brands.
• Experience negotiating commercial terms in a contractual format.
• Advertising or marketing work in a multimedia environment.
• Project management experience. You’ve taken something from start to finish and have the trophies to show it was a success.

This role is a full-time position based in our Richmond, BC office.
