We are looking for experienced editors with 10+ years of management experience for a unique and challenging opportunity in the Middle East and North Africa. Proficiency in French and/or Arabic language strongly desired. We need thoughtful people to work with fellow editors and publishers to improve news quality, set new standards, increase circulation, streamline operations, build credibility and reach new readers. We want professionals who have demonstrated they can lead a newsroom to higher standards; who can work in difficult and uncomfortable environments; who can overcome the challenges of intercultural communications; who enjoy living and working in exotic locales; who can figure out innovative approaches to a very different kind of journalism and who have the motivation and energy to face these challenges with grace and good humor. We are a fast growing consulting firm in the international media development field.  Full time job with competitive pay and benefits. Experience in a wide range of skills is a plus including budgeting, circulation, distribution, marketing, advertising, graphics, photography and investigative reporting.  International experience also is a plus.
