The Watercraft Journal Looks to Hire a Standup/Freestyle/Freeride Editor


Did you know that you could make upwards to $1,000 a month writing for The Watercraft Journal all by putting in an extra hour or two a day worth of work? Seriously, it’s that easy. Because The Watercraft Journal continues its aggressive industry-leading daily (Monday-through-Friday) publishing schedule, we need as much help as we can get to continue to entertain and inform our ever-growing readership. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re hiring!

Right now, The Watercraft Journal needs to fill a very important position: a Standup/Freestyle/Freeride Editor! That’s right, we’re looking for self-motivated, dedicated PWC enthusiasts looking to work with the single most popular PWC magazine in the world to help provide a focused spotlight on our sport’s best freeride/freestyle riders, clubs and events! Here are the details below:

Standup/Freeride/Freestyle Editor
Shaw Group Media, the publisher of The Watercraft Journal (watercraftjournal.com) is looking a self-motivated, energetic person to hire as Standup/Freestyle/Freeride Editor. The SFF Editor must have strong ties to this segment of the personal watercraft (PWC) industry, be familiar with proper terminology, technology and persons/companies therein. The F/F Editor should be the “expert” in this subject, and be able to field questions as they come in.

The SFF Editor doesn’t necessarily need to attend each and every event, but personal attendance is strongly encouraged. Likewise, the SFF Editor should be personally responsible for providing most SFF-specific news and coverage, but doesn’t need to be the sole contributor to The Watercraft Journal’s SFF coverage. The SFF Editor will work closely with the rest of the Editorial and Sales teams to develop new feature content and welcome in SFF-specific potential advertisers.

Riding ability, photographic talent or writing experience is appreciated and encouraged, but not necessarily mandatory.

The Standup/Freeride/Freestyle Editor position is a 1099 subcontractor position and will be paid twice a month per a predetermined scale for each written article. There will be a 90-day trial period for every applicant to evaluate work ethic, determination and commitment to providing superior, reliable standup/freeride/freestyle PWC content for The Watercraft Journal audience.

All serious inquires are to email introductory “cover letter” and resume to kevin.shaw@shawgroupmedia.com.
