| Our
Growth Story |
| Consider
the statistics: 98% of magazines launched internationally, specifically
in the US, shut down in the first year. And 1% in the second.
Only 1% survives and thrives. Global Services, the first global
media product (we call it a platform) launched out of India, has
entered its third year and has been commercially successful in
terms of encouraging revenue growth for its existing and new offerings,
healthy profitability, and a set of growth-oriented customers. |

| What’s
Different About Us? |
| Our
main audiences lie in the United States of America followed by
Europe and then other geographies. We have readers and advertisers
even in remote places such as Belarus, Santiago, and Guangdong.
The magazine has done well, but what is more important is that
from inception itself this brand has been treated as an integrated
platform. In other words, the Global Services Content team
delivers across print, online, and events. And the sales team
sells solutions, and not simply straight advertising, to customers.
Content for Global Services is not restricted to only stories
that are generated by the team and contributors. Content for Global
Services means all content that helps Global Services buyers to
move to the next step in the outsourcing process. So besides stories
it also delivers important lists to the global ITO and BPO industry,
and this delivery has been much appreciated and encouraged by
some of our global readers. The Website is a gateway to the outsourcing
domain and it is unique in that, besides carrying its own content,
it also carries content from other sources, including its competitors.
Media 2.0 is what people have begun to call it. … Correct? |

| The
Future |
| 2007
has been a good year for Global Services commercially as well
as in terms of reader feedback. We, however, believe that what
we have achieved is the tip of the iceberg as the outsourcing
industry is yet in a nascent stage. Global Services has undying
ambition and a ravenous growth appetite and would like to expand
its reach into other geographies as soon as possible. We need
to increase our reach in Western Europe as well as other service
provider locations such as Eastern Europe, South America, China,
etc. We are also considering adding a platform for the service
provider community in India within the next one year. For all
of this we need to launch different sections and deliver content
to the global community. |

We will have influential blogs, podcasts, webinars, interactive
forums and all such innovations on the online front. |

| Whom
Do We Need for This Journey? |
| In
order to ensure that we continue to facilitate the growth of the
global outsourcing industry we need a few young, excited, and
like-minded souls. Those who believe they can work across mediums
and multi-task and help this platform grow to the next level within
a short span of time. The positions we have are: |
| |
| Content
Managers / Assistant Editors / Correspondents / Reporters |
| These
positions require writing, blogging, interacting with readers,
dreaming up relevant stories, working along with external contributors,
interviewing senior C level executives across the world, maintaining
the edit calendar, and most importantly writing actionable content
that will help our readers with their work and careers. The exact
role for selected individuals will depend on their experience
and ability to take on and deliver challenging tasks. Your minimum
experience in the content domain will be 2 years – there is no
upper limit, but we clearly need younger-minded people who know,
understand and can deliver what today’s readers need. Of course
preference will be given to persons who have worked across print,
online, and events. |
| |
| Executive
Operations & Support / Asst Manager – Operations & Support |
While
all of the team focuses on delivering content and solutions to
customers the person in this role would need to ensure that the
backend is in place and firing effectively. Your role would demand
working for the internal team, dealing with other departments
in the organization, and working with some suppliers as well as
customers. You should have similar operations and support experience
for at least 2 years. Needless to add that you must be able to
multi-task and maneuver successfully out of challenging situations
on a regular basis.
For all the above positions FLAWLESS (preferably American) English
is a must. And priority would be given to innovative and resourceful
candidates. |

| Who
Else Do We Need For This Journey? |
Though
we might not have any immediate openings, we would be happy
to create a few as long as your philosophy (oops – that sounds
ancient, so let’s say as long as your calling) matches ours.
Just bear in mind that the going will be challenging as we need
hard and smart working and resourceful souls to walk – actually
run around the globe a few times every single week with us.
No passport or visas required for this journey as long as you
are adding value to all stakeholders.
If any of the above positions sounds interesting to you, please
apply with your Updated CV.
Please
ensure that you mention Global Services in the subject line.
