Magazine Editor

One of my friends passed this to me ....so if any of you are interested, here are the details!

Company: The Asian Banker
Job Title: Editor / Senior Writer
Description: The Asian Banker is an established brand name in the financial services
industry in the Asia Pacific region. We are a Singapore-based organisation and cover the "business of banking" from Japan to Australia and are now pushing westward into Central Asia and the Middle East.

Although we cover the entire region, we are a lean organisation of about
40pp. All you need to know is on our website www.theasianbanker.com

We are looking for someone fairly senior who could grow into the role of
Editor of the magazine and its online edition and who would be at the pointn in their careers that they would be interested in the challenge and the opportunity of creating a reputation for themselves in this exciting
industry.


The person we are looking for is someone who:
- is in his or her early 30s, who would like to build a career and reputation in the financial services industry across an entire region over the next 10 years or so.
- is someone who would like the idea of growing within a dynamic organisation and is quietly ambitious.
- has a personality that others would find easy to relate to.
- has strong team building skills and can manage a team in a magazine
journalism setting.
- would have no problems being based in Singapore (and travel a lot -
sometimes work out of our offices in Kuala Lumpur and Beijing).
- comes with a strong related journalism (magazine or news is fine),
consulting, research or related background.
- likes to write about strategy, trends and people in business and can apply these themes to the business of banking.
- has the presence of trusted personality that can be turned into goodwill
for the business.
- loves traveling the region.

The person we are looking for does not need to come from banking (it is not at all as tough as it may sound), and the person can be from outside Asia but who wants to give this a go. Journalists or senior writers from countries like the US and Australia who want to build an Asian experience are strongly invited to apply.

If you might be interested or know someone who would be interested, do drop me a line with a detailed CV at recruitment@theasianbanker.com and you could also drop a line to our Human Resource Manager, Ms Cecilia Chan at cchan@theasianbanker.com
