The Photo Editor is one of the key members of the PMC team, responsible for selecting photos and making them look great, helping to define editorial direction and original content on a daily basis, and giving one of the web's most visually exciting sites its unique look and visual feel. What's more, as any digitally-savvy photo editor knows, the photo content on a celebrity site can tell any story as well or better than words -- and can generate many multiples the kind of traffic that mere articles can. In short, the Photo Editor position is crucial. PMC captures and celebrates the essence of the celebrity lifestyle news, beauty, style, culture and gossip. Stars entertain, but they also inspire and profoundly influence what women see, hear, do, buy and share. Women identify with celebrities: their trials, triumphs, relationships and romances, obsessions and diversions. Stars are role models. PMC plays a starring role in their daily lives. PMC doesn’t just report the scoop; PMC relates it to women personal lives allowing real women to connect through the lens of celebrity. The role is based in New York, NY and reports to the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor. ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES/PRIORITIES Research, edit, and manage a high volume of daily photo selection, optimization, and processing for edit teams of PMC. Daily interaction with agencies, competitors, and other photo sources to procure the best photos possible in the least amount of time, and at the best price Constant and fast-paced interaction with top editors on a content basis, helping to define what's next on the site at all times, even at night and on weekends. Increasing responsibility around video content and helping to define a larger media strategy for PMC on an ongoing basis. Managing billing and content archives on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis with timely reporting to the General Manager.
