We’re Hiring! Bloodshot is looking for a new media publicist …

Bloodshot Records seeks full-time New Media Publicist to work in our Chicago office (meaning, this is an IN-HOUSE position).

The applicant must know photo editing and formatting, Photoshop, HTML, CSS, how to compress PDF files, rip hi-quality MP3s and tag them and prepare for upload, and be comfortable using a CMS similar to TypePad (run on Drupal), also helpful to know Illustrator and InDesign.

The candidate needs to be self directed and extremely comfortable working independently, a great writer, witty, level-headed and affable. The ideal person is passionate about much of the music on the label and assumes it’s their mission to get Bloodshot bands the attention they deserve. Strong indie ethics and a degree in Communications, IT, English, or Journalism are a plus.
