We are looking for a digital-savvy candidate with experience writing and editing fashion, beauty, and general women’s lifestyle content.

You will be responsible for creating and/or editing two to three stories per day, will work with a roster of freelance writers, and will manage a portion of the editorial content budget as well as own at least one tentpole project each year. You’ll work closely with the editorial team and our growth partners to update existing content using SEO best practices, assign, edit, and/or write new content, and contribute to big-picture projects. You may also assist with writing and/or editing celebrity news content as well as ad hoc editorial duties. Previous experience working in a fast-paced environment and a can-do attitude is a must.

Hybrid 3x a week- (New York City) 

In-office Expectations: This position is hybrid in-office, with the ability to work remotely for up to 2 days per week.
