Want to work for PistonHeads?
Discussion
I'm looking for someone to work alongside me here at PHHQ to assist me in the day to day running of the PH community. It's a big job for someone with lots of scope for learning a wide range of skills, one day we'll be sipping a beer in Le Mans and the next working all hours to prepare the board presentation of our lives. Life will be varied to say the least.
You'll need to have a decent knowledge of PH (as we'll need you to hit the ground running) as well as a good track record of general business practices and flexibility in spades (PH is 24/7 after all). It's an exec role (so a great step into publishing) with a salary of circa £25k...and you'll have a great boss too
An ad will go live to the masses this week, but I wanted to give you a head start for obvious reasons. Ad copy as follows.
If you have specific questions please email me as it's a more polite way of discussion with interested candidates. I also encourage straightforward applications but please ensure you attach an up to date CV and I will do my best to reply to emails promptly.
General questions, of course, can be posted here on the thread.
