If you’ve always wanted to work for Disney Publishing Worldwide, here’s your chance. The company is hiring a digital managing editor to oversee its app creation process from concept through release date.
App-happy candidates will do well here as the gig will require you to be the go-to person for Disney Publishing’s growing app list. You’ll collaborate with several departments — digital, editorial, art, design and sales — ensuring apps are aligned with DPW and The Walt Disney Company’s priorities.
To land this gig, you should have a digital content management, project management or managing editorial background, but it’s equally as important to possess excellent multi-tasking skills. Knowledge of children’s publishing is preferred, and detail-oriented team players are most wanted. If this sounds like the job for you, apply here.
