SCM Managing Editor job opportunity

Sounds like a great job opening for the right person.
Become the new Managing Editor for Sports Car Market magazine.

Wouldn't it be great if a real Ferrari enthusiast got the job?!
I think the job is based in Portland, OR.
Not sure how the salary being offered lines up with an editor's job function.
I have no connection to SCM but thought I'd post what I saw elsewhere on the web.

Keith Martin goes to my Starbucks most every morning. I saw him pull up in his Black Mercedes Ponton today. He is nice.

I think they will have no trouble filling this job. Plenty of car guys will put pay secondary.

 

I know the guy that just left that position.. He is back working at Forza mag now...
