'New York' Mag: Indie Cred, Major Label Sales
New York magazine is looking for a research manager. What type of candidate they desire says, it turns out, quite a lot about how the magazine sees itself. Favorite words: "spokesbrand" and "trybrid." Also? As a workplace, its "a very collaborative and self-reliant environment" both!
Winner of 5 National Magazine Awards in 2007, New York magazine and nymag.com—the spokesbrand for the most influential market in America—seek a uniquely qualified manager-level candidate in the print/online research department. Ideal candidates will be "trybrids"— with some combination of background components drawing from research, marketing and/or planning, from either print or online. The New York brand is like an indie record label—but with big hit records. It's a very collaborative and self-reliant environment and the research function is an equal partner in sales development, marketing communications and branding projects for both platforms. Candidates must have at least 3-5 years of experience in a media or agency environment. If you have the right background—and foresight—-we'd love to hear from you. No phone calls, please.
Okay, so they're kind of like Merge. And "The Strategist" is their Arcade Fire. We get it now!
