BizBash is looking for a smart, energetic, full-time Editor who can lead our coverage of events, venues, and style ideas in Toronto. This position is a great opportunity for an ambitious editor who is interested in events and venues, and who is open to being out on the town several nights a week representing the BizBash brand.

Job duties include:
* Keeping track of local events and determining which have the most potential to spark insightful, inspiring stories for our readers
* Researching and writing several stories a day in the BizBash voice
* Writing informative, attention-getting heads, decks, and captions
* Identifying industry leaders, trends, new products, and news that warrant coverage in our magazine and Web site
* Maintaining strict editorial integrity while working alongside the sales team
Qualifications include:
* At least one year of newspaper, magazine, and/or online publishing experience
* Familiarity with Toronto's event and hospitality industries would be helpful
* Solid reporting and fact-checking abilities
* Excellent time management, multitasking, organizational, and problem-solving skills
* A willingness to attend events on nights and weekends
