Wanted: If You Love Technology Much Indie Film, You Could Be Our Product Manager.

Indiewire is growing, and we’re in search of someone awesome to make our site even better.

We are looking to hire a Product Manager for our Los Angeles office. Briefly, it’s someone who’s responsible for creating all the great stuff on Indiewire.com— from newsletters to photo galleries to minisites. It’s the daily maintenance that keeps the site and our blogs moving forward. It’s inventing things we haven’t even thought of yet. 

While technical chops and experience are key, we’d love to find someone who loves everything that we do at Indiewire — movies, TV and smart ways of talking about them. 

The job description is below. If you’d like to apply, please email dana@indiewire.com with resume, references and salary requirements. You can also apply through LinkedIn.  

Thanks!
