ABOUT WETPAINT (Seattle)
Television shows are like family. When they’re good, they enrich our lives, and when they’re bad – well, even when TV shows are bad, they’re wildly entertaining. For true fans, however, watching a show is simply not enough. We want every piece of information available about our favorite programs and the characters that populate them. Googling is not enough. IMDBing is not enough. We want to eat and breathe “our” shows. Enter Wetpaint.

Wetpaint is a new kind of Web network, built around the TV viewing interests of women 18-34. Each Wetpaint site focuses on a single show in a super-detailed way – for examples, see GossipGirlShow.com or DTWSshow.com. No steamy love scene or high fashion statement or over-the-top catfight escapes our inquiring minds. The information is so in-depth, it will improve the way you watch your favorite programs. We bring you the news, the gossip, the recaps, the photos, the video clips, the previews, the spoilers, and the featured products in a way you have never experienced on other fan sites. In fact, once you’ve delved into Wetpaint, you won’t need those other sites. If the shows in the Wetpaint network are “your” shows, this is your new online home.

Wetpaint, which is located in Seattle, WA, is funded by the same venture capital firms that backed companies like Facebook, Starbucks, and Glam. It is serious about creating one-stop shopping for the female viewer who is crazy for TV.

EDITOR
If you’re feeling crazy enough to share your obsession for TV, work with us! Wetpaint is looking for a sassy, informed, and opinionated Editor to manage and maintain a fun and full portfolio of TV entertainment sites. Reporting directly to the Executive Editor, the Editor will primarily focus on day-to-day management and audience building around a set of hot entertainment properties that cater to Wetpaint’s core female demographic. Broad strokes include management of freelance editors, content editing, content writing, social media distribution, and photo/video production. You’ll join an existing team of talented editors in helping shape a best-in-class web publishing platform.

The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment and has the ability to effectively manage deadlines and priorities in a fast-paced work setting. Demonstrated experience writing and editing in a specific voice in the entertainment/lifestyle genre is required. Passion for TV, pop culture, and fashion is a major, major plus!
