Orlando-Based Disney Theme Parks Reporter, Photographer, and YouTube Presenter -- Full Time
We are a small, dynamic new media company that does things a little differently. We look for team members who thrive on new challenges and who want to be part of a cutting-edge company experiencing exponential growth.
We are looking to bring on another Disney-loving Reporter/Photographer to our team. We are a fun, collaborative, dedicated, hard-working group.
You will be working in a virtual newsroom atmosphere where flexibility is key. You must be reliably available to go into the Disney World parks and resorts as needed and be able to provide quick turnaround. You must currently have an annual pass. You will be photographing food, merchandise, and other Disney Parks items, and writing fun/informal blog posts. You will also be doing food reviews. Awareness of your audience will be key. You must have the ability to produce large amounts of content quickly while maintaining high attention to detail. Work-required food and merchandise purchases can be expensed.
