VentureBeat is hiring a guest posts editor for bots channel

We’re looking for a skilled editor to help lead our pioneering coverage of bots, messaging, and AI.

VentureBeat is launching a Bots Channel to provide a 360-degree view of the industry ecosystem surrounding bots. Speaking broadly, bots are transforming the way we check the weather, book travel, and shop for gifts. They’re also making their way into corporations by providing conversational interfaces for enterprise software and increasing communication and collaboration across multiple apps. Moreover, they could one day be used to help manage so-called smart cities.

As VentureBeat’s Guest Post Editor for bots, you’ll solicit and edit guest posts from tech insiders, investors, and pundits. Additionally, you’ll be on the lookout for republishing opportunities for news and analysis from top bloggers, syndication partners, and academics.

You’re already familiar with bots and chatbots, WeChat and Messenger, and the difference between consumer-facing bots and those used in business operations. You love innovation and have 3-5 years experience assigning and editing posts that provide smart insights, fresh angles on current news, and above all, why something matters. You’re eager to build a stable of contributors, and you know when to dive in and do a wholesale rewrite and when to back off and simply buy a vowel or insert that mot juste.

Please be available to work approximately 20 hours/week at our San Francisco headquarters, or if you prefer, you may work remotely. This is a freelance, temporary position, and compensation is an hourly rate plus approved expenses. Finally, it would be great if you love to read VentureBeat. Seriously, though, you should already read VentureBeat!

If you’re as excited as we are, please send a resume, desired compensation (hourly rate), and cover letter containing three links to your best clips (as editor) and three links to your best clips (as writer) to jobs@venturebeat.com.
