Our Publisher’s Assistant role has been advertised as, ‘Can and will do anything and everything’ since the inception of Yellow Scene Magazine in 2001.Â
Over the years, we have had great Publisher’s Assistants and some whom the role just wasn’t right for.Â
What attributes have made a great PA?Â
- They understand the Publisher’s Assistant is a key figure in our 5-person team.Â
- They understand that they are the right hand to the Publisher, more a mini-publisher than a paper pusher. Â
- They understand as an Indie, still adhering to old-fashioned journalism standards as credentialed members of the Press Association, that we do this gig because we believe community journalism is critical to society.Â
- They understand we don’t have outside investors (it’s that whole dedication to journalism thing), and that means we are powered by talent and creativity – versus deep pockets.
- They understand that means we often scrap, but that their role has a huge impact on how much scrapping we do, as the Publisher is also the sole revenue producer.Â
- They understand the Publisher is the sole revenue generator and that their role is even more critical to help ease the administrative work on her plate so she can secure new business.Â
- They understand how to ask questions, repeat back, write the tasks down, and follow back up if struggling.Â
- They understand how to ask for help prioritizing, so tasks meet reasonable due dates.
- They have a desire to grow their career, a natural curiosity about the world, care about justice, diversity, and equality, and are not easily ruffled by strong personalities.Â
We are looking to hire a new Publisher’s Assistant for 2023 but are seeking people who wish to grow into new roles, as well.Â
The Publisher’s Assistant helps take care of things like; ad proofing for our customers, data entry and updates, collection calls, distribution, emergency projects, and more. The number of hours it takes to do the day-to-day tasks are about 20-25 per week. After 23 years we have it pretty much dialed in, and know this is accurate for the hours needed for the PA role. Pay starts at $22 per hour with 6-month and one-year raise reviews. Hours & Responsibilities increase as proficiency in the role increases.
But our goal is to find that person who wants to grow into learning marketing, events, and sales, resulting in increasing those hours from 20-25 to 40 per week, through taking on new tasks after successfully learning the main Publisher’s Assistant role.
What skills do you need to bring? The ability to manage MULTIPLE tasks at the same time (prioritize, prioritize, prioritize), personable, friendly, ability to stay calm under intense deadlines, spreadsheet, and basic office skills, a passion for creativity and understanding that journalism is critical to our society, and a desire to grow.Â
While this role has work-from-home days, it is NOT remote. We do need a local person who can come to the office several days a week.
Cover letters get us really excited. We like to know who is applying. Of course, send your resume too.
