We are seeking a full time editor for the new Dallas Edition of UrbanDaddy.
UrbanDaddy is an email magazine geared towards men (think of DailyCandy with a sophisticated male slant) that’s now getting set to launch its first Texas edition. The Dallas edition will be comprised of a single story every day on something new/insider/useful/cool that would be relevant to guys who want to know what’s going on in town.
The Dallas editor will be responsible for representing the UD brand in Dallas – which means coming up with relevant ideas, setting the editorial calendar and producing a daily story that gives Dallasites a taste of what’s new, hot, exciting and essential related to: food, nightlife, style, gear, entertainment, cultural events and leisurely pursuits.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your own edition of a national daily email magazine, help expand a growing startup and develop a new property from scratch.
You’ll also be working closely with the New York team that publishes daily covering nightlife, restaurants, style and entertainment in New York.
