• Create shopping guides that are digestible, shoppable, and highly authoritative. You will evaluate the product landscape, consult in-house experts, analyze research, scrutinize reviews and ultimately provide our audiences with purchasing advice.
• Identify sales and deals relevant to the PopMech audience, and produce deals in a serviceable format and timely manner.
• Use Google Analytics and our data management platform to optimize for affiliate revenue.
