Search Engine Journal Looking for Editor-in-Chief: Are you the one?

We have big plans for SEJ this year! We are excited to announce today that we are searching for a new editor-in-chief. Our EIC will be in a highly visible role as the voice and face of SEJ. This U.S-based individual will be breaking exclusive news, procuring the best guest bloggers for unique and thought-provoking posts, and covering search conferences to interview the most-recognized personalities and experts in search marketing.

After building this community from the ground up 8 years ago, I’m looking to step down from Editing and overall day to day operations with SEJ and looking for someone to fill my big shoes!

[Ann Smarty will be assisting us in our search and will continue with SEJ.]

SEJ’s Editor-in-Chief is a highly visible, part-time role that will put you in front of the industry’s movers and shakers as well as those looking to learn more about search marketing.
