I am not really interested in this job offer, but why 2300 FIDE and some of these other criterion? Many successful chess writers have much lower ratings than this. I was the "Head Chess Writer" for another chess site (chess.com doesn't want advertising in public forums, but my chess.com profile shows which site) and a friend of mine was a long-time author for Chess Life magazine and other well-known chess publications. They were "only" rated about 2000-2100 USCF rating.
Good chess writing is just as much about writing ability as it is about move analysis. Don't forget that chess writers can use an engine when writing an article, so as long as the player can understand the computer moves recommended, they really don't need to be super high rated.
These are just some insights, but if you find a 2300+ FIDE rated player interested, then I'm happy for you, but I also feel that you are limiting your options by elements which aren't as important as others.
